The Fleet Science Center is a great place to take children. It is interactive and educational. The IMAX theater is very nice and we enjoyed the movie we saw that was part of the admission price. more »

We went to see the "Mesmerica audio/visual show at the Fleet Science Dome Theater last evening and it was Fantastic!!! The venue couldn't be better and the staff, so very well organized. The seating inside was very comfortable and viewing the dome screen was quite an mind blowing experience! Parking was also very easy and on a beautiful late afternoon like yesterday, it was very nice to walk around the grounds of the center. I would definitely recommend this venue to all.

The science center was a lot of fun. It wasn't as big as I thought it would be but I still learned a lot while there. Would be a great place for family's and kids. Its also near the history museum so the location is convenient.
