Science Family Day - March 20th; 11:00am - 3:00pm at Balboa Park

Science Family Day at Balboa Park offers family-friendly science inspired adventures as part of this park-wide event.

Together families can experience a variety of hands on activities including "astronaut for the day" following NASA on their last mission to service the HUBBLE telescope at the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center. They can dig in a mock archaeology pit at the San Diego History Center, or use investigative tools to encourage hands-on activities while exploring the plants, wildlife and culture inside the Japanese Friendship Garden.

The intrepid families can walk into an oversize version (9 feet wide, 7 feet tall!) of a camera obscura -- a device that led to the invention of photography -- at the MoPA, and learn the science of steam locomotives by making their own paper-based steam engine at the SD Model Railroad.

Dozens of events will be offered to explore the world of science around us. For a complete schedule including specific museum hours, admission pricing and discounts, visit www.balboapark.org.
