General Admission with IMAX Movie

There are plenty of hands-on, interactive exhibits to keep you busy, covering everything from renewable energy and household technology to light, perception, and physics.

The Fleet Science Center at Balboa Park connects people of all ages and aims to help you understand how the power of science can create a better future. Design images with a sand pendulum, analyze the vibrations of guitar strings and get immersed in an IMAX documentary film adventure that shows the wonders of the planet. Little ones will love Kid City, where conveyor belts, cranes and shopping carts take center stage.
