Fleet Science Center

The Fleet Science Center in Balboa Park opened in 1973 with the world's first IMAX dome theatre, named after the aviation pioneer Reuben H. Fleet. Besides films in the dome, it has hands-on science exhibitions on topics such as light, sound, electricity and the human body, aimed largely at children and families, and planetarium shows.
