Check It Out!



The Reuben H. Fleet Science Center (the "Fleet") is proud to launch "Check It Out!" in partnership with the San Diego Public Library and sponsored by ScholarShare College Saving Plan. This innovative program provides area families unlimited access to the Fleet! with circulating membership cards available for check out at each of the 36 city libraries. 

{It would be just like checking out a book!}



When library patrons check out a Fleet membership card at a branch library, they receive full membership benefits for two full weeks. This includes FREE admission to the hands-on science galleries for two adults and up to six children under the age of 18, discounts on IMAX films and digital shows, as well as discounts at Galileo's Café and the North Star Science Store.

The Central Library and each of the 35 branch libraries in the City of San Diego will have two circulating Fleet memberships available for checkout, beginning Thursday May 24th!

The launch of the program allows San Diegans to check out the new traveling exhibit: "Grossology: The (Impolite) Science of the Human Body" opening May 26th, along with popular permanent exhibits like the "Tinkering Studio" for inventive minds, "Cellular Journey" where human cell biology comes to life, and "Kid City" where those age five and under learn about the everyday working world in a safe environment.

The fantastic Kid City exhibit!
