Prairiefire Museum is another recent cultural facility that I feel is underused/appreciated as a result of being tucked in it's distant little corner of the metro...
I don't understand the location either but Magic House in St Louis has non core/suburban location so maybe it will work out. I don't many other cities that have suburban located Children's Museums. I think the point of a downtown location is for easy access for people from the entire Metro to easily get to.

Is Science City not considered a children's museum?

children's museums used to be about career exploration, arts and crafts and the like.
science museums used to be about static science displays, planetariums and such

I would say there's very few museums of either type anymore, that they're the same thing today
