1904 World's Fair is the central themed section of Six Flags St. Louis. It is themed after the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, an international exposition that was held in St. Louis, Missouri in 1904.

The area opened with the park on June 5, 1971 as the Missouri section of the park, one of the namesake "Six Flags over Mid-America". It was later rethemed to become 1904 World's Fair in 1993 when the park was owned by Time Warner.

While 1904 World's Fair only contains two major attractions; American Thunder and the Moon Antique Cars, the land contains the Palace Theater and the surrounding Palace Gardens, the World's Fair Grove, and the "Front Mall", the first and last thing that guests experience during a day at the park.

The flags of France, Spain, England, the Union, and Missouri have had influence over the territory since 1764. The buildings, shows, and rides are themed to help you relive the bright and colorful past at Six Flags."
