Opening this Saturday, January 31, "Giant Worlds: A Voyage to the Outer Solar System" is the newest hands-on exhibition at the Fleet!  Twenty colorful, interactive exhibits invite you to explore the extraordinary giant planets orbiting our Sun and discover what they tell us about the formation of solar systems, Earth, and the conditions necessary for life. Learn about the role gravity plays in how planets, asteroids, and comets behave, while marveling at the beauty and mystery of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.

OPENS Saturday, January 31!

7 pm: YELLOWSTONE (1994);
8 pm: EVEREST  (1998);
9 pm: WILD OCEAN (2008);

Members of the San Diego Symphony visit the Fleet for a fun and interactive journey through the science of sound. "Sound Science" will feature two live symphonic presentations interspersed with fun sonic science demonstrations. In addition, children will be able to try various orchestral instruments in a "musical petting zoo," and build their own instruments in the Fleet's "Tinkering Studio."
