Fleet Science Center operates the IMAX Giant Dome Theater in Balboa Park, where visitors explore interactive exhibit galleries and attend immersive dome shows. The Ball Pool lets guests sink into a tactile experience, while events like Two Scientists Walk Into a Bar and Suds & Science connect adults with local researchers at community venues. The center offers STEM camps for young learners, field trips for school groups, and programs for educators and scientists. Accessibility Mornings provide sensory-friendly experiences, and Senior Mondays feature lectures followed by dome theater shows for visitors 65 and older. The center serves families, students, and adults across San Diego County through its flagship location and community events. San Diego County residents, local students, and active-duty military receive free admission to exhibit galleries on the first Tuesday of each month. Additional discounts include 10 percent off for active-duty military, 20 percent off with MWR vouchers, and $5 gallery-only admission for families with EBT or SNAP cards.
