As you approach the Fleet Science Center, a picture-perfect fountain shoots into the air at the center of a glistening pool of water. Behind it, the beige walls of the Fleet Science Center look more yellow at the golden hours when the sun is setting. Within these walls, you can discover virtual reality and interactive exhibits, all together with the world’s very first IMAX Dome Theatre! For your tots who are aspiring scientists, this trip will surely be one to remember.

Here, you can travel to outer space and plunge back down, deep into the ocean. There’s plenty of interactive exhibits at different galleries, some made just for the young ones. You can discover more about the human body and find science in the most unlikely of places at the permanent exhibits here. You’ll definitely lose yourself in the 360-degree dome theatre that will take you to places you’ve only dreamed of. If you’re not sure what we mean, think “Great Barrier Reef”. While you’re in San Diego, give the Fleet Science Center a try!
