Hours & Admission

Guided by the recommendations of state, city and county public health officials and the input from employees and members, the Fleet Science Center has a plan to keep our employees, volunteers and visitors safe. 

What’s our schedule? 

The Fleet Science Center building is open seven days a week! You can enjoy our exhibit galleries and documentary films in the Giant Dome Theater all week long. The Science Center is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. No reservations required.

Stop by Craveology for a delicious snack and take even more of the science home with fun gifts from the North Star Science Store. 

What’s new in our Exhibit Galleries?

 Travel the world with the Fleet Science Center in Going Places. Through engaging interactives, explore how different modes of transportation have shaped society. Plus, all of your favorite experiences, including Kid City, Studio X, Illusions Gallery and our VR Transporter, are open with additional cleaning and with more space for a safe exploration.

What’s playing in the Heikoff Giant Dome Theater?

It is a land of mystery and yet what happens here affects every single one of us. With never-before seen footage, Antarctica brings audiences to the farthest reaches of this wild and majestic continent. Step off the beaten path with Into America’s Wild, a visually stunning cross-country adventure into the hidden wonders of the natural world. Follow the majestic, Australian green sea turtle Bunji, as she swims thousands of miles across the open ocean and has wild encounters in Turtle Odyssey.
