A World of Possibility

The Fleet Science Center is San Diego's hub for scientific exploration and innovation, now offering visitors even more opportunities for discovery. With the completion of a major renovation to the flagship Balboa Park building, visitors can now connect to the power of science like never before.

At the science center, you can explore over 100 interactive exhibits with your own two hands, including two new galleries that make your head spin and send you out of this world! In the Heikoff Giant Dome theater, you can swim with sea creatures, traverse the universe, and soar to new heights under the largest IMAX® screen in San Diego. And to fuel your curiosity, you can stop by the reimagined dining experience, Element 8 Cafe, for some fresh bites and renewed energy!
