Reuben H. Fleet Science Center

The Reuben H. Fleet Science Center makes learning fun for kids of all ages and adults. The museum and learning center offers exhibits that can be used hands-on to experience the joy of science. There are more than 100 exhibits onsite, separated into five different galleries. The museum also offers traveling exhibits. The museum offers opportunities to conduct experiences with colored shadows, virtual adventures, record movement and learn about creatures from dolphins and dinosaurs. Kid City is a great place for younger children and offers kids five and younger a chance to enjoy the Book Nook, a grocery store, a fun factory and play in the Young Explorer Computers. The science center is home to the world's first IMAX Dome Theater, a phenomena that is now featured in many cities across the country. Visitors can enjoy educational films on a screen bigger than any they have ever seen before. The dome also features planetarium shows that expose viewers to a controlled image of the night sky. The museum is considered one of the ten best attractions in the city of San Diego. Its Balboa Park location puts it close to many of the city's other museums, as well as historical attractions, gardens, architecture and fountains. Before or after a visit to the Fleet Science Center, you can enjoy a stroll through the park and see many of San Diego's best loved attractions.
