Reuben H. Fleet Science Center Review

Reuben H. Fleet Science Center 
Museums / Galleries, Balboa Park
Fodor's Review:
The Fleet Center's clever interactive exhibits are artfully educational. You can reconfigure your face to have two left sides, or, by replaying an instant video clip, watch yourself coming and going at different speeds. The IMAX Dome Theater, the world's first, screens exhilarating nature and science films. The SciTours simulator is designed to take you on virtual voyages -- stomach lurches and all. The Meteor Storm lets up to six players at a time have an interactive virtual-reality experience, this one sans motion-sickness potential. A big hit is the Nierman Challenger Learning Center -- a realistic mock mission-control and futuristic space station.
