No kids. All fun. Fleet Night of Science is an after-hours event for chic geeks 21+. You get the Science Center all to yourself (no kids allowed!) to explore exhibits, sip cocktails, enjoy snacks, listen to music and get your geek on with science experiments, clever chats and delightfully nerdy experiences. Your ticket gives you access to the Fleet’s exhibits and the evening’s science-infused fun. Food and beverages are available for purchase, and proceeds support the Fleet’s non-profit mission of realizing a San Diego where everyone is connected to the power of science.

With many of our partner companies issuing new policies around forgoing events, we have made the difficult decision to cancel this event.

There are many STEM Week events that will still be happening this week! Be sure to check them out by clicking on our “STEM Week” link in the banner above!

Thank you for your understanding and flexibility.

Explore, have fun, and get hands-on with marine science education! Engage with our aquarium Interpreters on the floor to learn about the animals in our Hall of Fishes, Gray Whales migrating off our coast, Specimens in our Oddities collections, and, some of the tiniest but very important organisms in the ocean, known as plankton. Each day will present different ocean-themed activities for the week. These activities are included with the price of admission.

What sounds like the beginning of a rather bad joke is actually a fun community program by the Fleet Science Center. During Two Scientists Walk Into a Bar®, local scientists will enjoy something we all do: a good conversation in a local bar.

On March 12, we are excited to put a spotlight on all the amazing female scientists and engineers in San Diego as we bring back Two Scientists Walk Into a Bar®—Celebrating Women in STEM Edition.

No talk. No presentation. Just simple conversations in a bar.

Sometimes, the most interesting discussions occur over a beer or a glass of your favorite vino. (Bonus points if you can remember what was said the next morning!) That’s the concept behind Suds & Science, a monthly event that brings scientists face-to-face with the general public in a neighborhood bar. Each session kicks off with a short and enlightening presentation, after which the floor is open for discussion between the audience and the speaker.

Come and interact with scientists working at the cutting edge of biomedical research! Come join us for a friendly poster competition where you can vote for your favorite presenter, listen to fascinating lightning talks, enjoy socializing over light refreshments and network with our science community!
