About Us

The Fleet Science Center connects people of all ages to the possibilities and power of science to create a better future. Our mission is to realize a San Diego where everyone is connected to the power of science.

At the science center, you can explore and investigate more than 100 interactive exhibits that pique your curiosity and become immersed in a giant screen film adventure that shows the wonders of the planet—and beyond—in the Eugene Heikoff and Marilyn Jacobs Heikoff Giant Dome Theater.

For science enthusiasts, the Fleet hosts school field trips, science workshops and educational camps. For adults, we offer events like Fleet Night of Science and community events, such as Two Scientists Walk Into a Bar. In the community, we collaborate with communities through Neighborhood Networks. Teachers are encouraged to join our Teacher Partner Program and take advantage of our professional development opportunities.

Additionally, at the Fleet Science Center, visitors will find unique educational toys and games, books and more in the North Star Science Store. Enjoy pizzas, sandwiches, salads and healthy treats in Craveology.

Located at 1875 El Prado, two blocks south of the San Diego Zoo on Park Boulevard, the Fleet is San Diego’s science center. Science starts here and opens a world of possibility.
