Give the Gift of Science

Looking for a unique and meaningful gift for the people on your list? We've got you covered! This holiday season, the Fleet Science Center invites you to give the gift of science with a membership to San Diego's Best Museum of 2025.

If you've visited the Fleet, you've experienced the world of possibility alive within the walls of our flagship Balboa Park building. With over 100 interactive exhibits, the largest IMAX(R) screen in San Diego, and endless STEM events and programs, the Fleet is a hub for discovery, imagination, and innovation. As a member, all of that is right at your fingertips all year long.

In addition to experiencing the power of science free of cost all year long, members also get an inside track on all things Fleet. Members enjoy exclusive museum access at monthly Members Mornings, discounts and early access to camps, programs, events, and local partners, free access to the iconic Heikoff Giant Dome Theater, as well as free access to over 300 science centers nationwide with Association of Science Technology Centers reciprocity.

By gifting a membership, you are not only unlocking countless benefits for your family or friends but also directly fueling the Fleet's mission to connect all of San Diego to the power of science.

Your gift helps spark curiosity in young minds through STEM education programs like BE WiSE and STEMQuest, giving students real-world experiences that inspire lifelong engagement in science. It fuels programs like Family Science Nights and Fleet on the Go, which allow the Fleet to bring science to 99% of communities in San Diego.

Memberships not only sustain our building, exhibits, and the theater, but expand community access to our flagship location to more than 1,500 families across San Diego, ensuring that cost is never a barrier to discovery.

When you purchase a membership, you actively empower meaningful, countywide impact, keeping STEM learning alive in San Diego for generations to come, and at an awesome deal!

This holiday season, you can get any membership for $10 off, plus an additional two months free. That's 14 months of STEM discovery for your family, friends, or even you!

"I've been a member for 24 years and have brought my children, grandchildren, and now great-grandchildren here," says Stefanel Lino, longtime member and Fleet supporter. "We call it our soiree. The Fleet isn't just lectures or exhibits -- it's friends, conversation, and curiosity."

The Fleet is proud to be a countywide organization dedicated to building STEM identity, cultivating community, and empowering STEM learning for everyone. Your support, whether through purchasing a membership or donating to our Rock-It Science Annual Fund, builds the essential foundation that keeps our mission moving forward.
