I visited the center with my family two adults and 2 kids that center activity it’s interesting for kids , but it’s only for one time visit but safe for one adult ticket price I think overpriced 25$ adult , 20$ kids for what they have inside in what kind of gadgets for they have inside , sum of the display was closed or it was not working , I’ll recommend better if you wanna go multiple times take , annual pass because it will gonna be more cheaper than take one day ticket for four people , we pay $80 +tax is not worth , plus they have a couple stuff inside where you need to pay extra money which one is not including and the ticket price. And I found one of the toy ship 🚢 was cracked , I reported to that employee and they said they gonna take care which one is good but I’ll check next time if they fix it

This is a very fun experience for families. Lots of interactive exhibits. Some of them were closed due to construction so that was a let down. Tix come with a 60 min movie. VR experience is an addl $8 I believe.

I love this science center! It's been a few years since we've been here but we purchased the annual subscription and had a great time! I love the changing exhibits and the transportation exhibit they have going on right now! It was a blast and they have a hover craft right now too. It's more like an air hockey table type of hover but still cool!

It’s really old, dirty and outdated. Clearly the kids could hurt themselves on some of these toys. They’re sharp and broken. The only thing that looks new is the VR experience and the cafeteria and the shop. The free ice cream is really good. Everything else is broken or really old it’s falling apart. The kids zone has such old toys you can’t even tell what kind of fruit or vegetable they’re playing with. The little rings that are supposed to roll on their own don’t even have a stick so you can interact with the display. The carpets are filthy and old. Upstairs where the “music” section is a lot of the displays are missing parts. The one good thing is that the customer service is really good but I wouldn’t really visit unless you want to spend money on “something to do”. The dome theatre is kinda cool

Is there popcorn to buy for IMAX films?

Cole Jones | Jun 19, 2022
M Perez | Jun 19, 2022

Yes. And it was good! Details are that there’s only one size. It’s bigger than a small but smaller than a medium at a normal theater. And I didn’t see extra butter or salt to add to it. That said, I would still get it again.

What is the fee?

Robert Nunes | Aug 19, 2018
Elizabeth Pa | Aug 19, 2018

The best value is the Balboa Park Explorer pass. It gets you into all of the museums in Balboa Park. With the family pass, the four of us going to Fleets science center twice in a year pays for itself.

How long should you plan to spend there

Diana Cappel | Aug 19, 2018
Fiona Neill | Aug 19, 2018

It all depends on you, and the age of children who are with you. If you do the interactive games and projects, and if this is your first time, I'd give it 4 hours, not including breaks and lunch. The Lego area alone can take an hour for kids who like building.
