Fleet Science Center

Fun place to spend a few hours with kids of all ages. Everything here is hands on and interactive. A great way to pique their interest on science! There is an area designated for children under 5 that was nice to let them explore freely. 4 stars because the exhibits were somewhat worn and could use a refresh. Great place overall and great staff!

We went just an hour before closing but it was such a cool experience. Understandably it is focused on children, but it is a very neat place and had a lot of things to read and experience for adults too. The area on the second floor with lights and colours was especially interesting and the gift shop had a lot of cool magnets and postcards for those who collect them or wish to send something to a loved one. Great place for anyone who has an abundance of curiosity.

I went on Tuesday which is free for San Diego residents to go, so took advantage of that to explore the immersive experience! I absolutley loved the display of science! A little crowded with kids under the age of 10, so beware of that😆

The fleet science center was so much fun for all of us. There are two floors filled with brain teasers, and educational fun that kept our 8 year old interested in exploring. His favorite part was the oversized ball pit of course. We enjoyed watching him run from section to section excited about what he read or attempted to do. We spent approximately 1.5 to 2 hours within the facility before we were ready to eat and exit. As we headed to the exit we saw many people lined up for the IMAC theater something we are planning to check out next time. We purchased slushies and popcorn, and paid $5 to experience the wind tunnel, before exiting to watch the waterfall right next to the History museum. It was a beautiful day and money well spent.

I stopped by with my kids who are 8 and 10 and there was a ton of things to do. We spent 3 hours but easily could have spent five or six. Staff was amazing and the IMAX movie was phenomenal. It was great!
