Over 20,000 gray whales migrate annually from the summer feeding grounds in the Bering Sea, to the winter grounds of the Baja California lagoons, and back again, along the Southern California coast.

For more than sixty years, Mother Nature has transformed the rolling hills of North San Diego County into one of the most spectacular and coordinated displays of natural color and beauty anywhere in the world. The nearly fifty acres of Giant Tecolote Ranunculus flowers that make up the Flower Fields at Carlsbad Ranch in Carlsbad, California, are in bloom for approximately six to eight weeks each year - from early March through early May - literally bringing the famous fields back to life. This annual burst of color, which has become part of the area’s local heritage, also is one of nature’s official ways of announcing the arrival of spring here in Southern California.

Make-It Workshop

As Tim Gunn is fond of saying, “Make it work!” That’s the idea behind our Make-It Workshop, a creative and interactive space for innovators and other curious minds. We invite you to stop by the newly redesigned Studio X on Saturdays to try your hand at various activities. We’ve made everything from hydraulic arms to camera obscuras for optimal eclipse viewing. Make-It Workshop activities change monthly, and fees vary. Open to makers of all ages (participants 12 and under need an adult collaborator). For more information or to register, visit fleetscience.org/make-it. Prices for workshops are per project.
