Beautification at the Fleet!

Change is afoot at the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center … and underfoot! We’re installing new carpeting in the exhibit galleries, and we've just opened  our new exhibition, ILLUSION: Nothing Is As It Seems, which made its North American premiere on May 10. To accommodate these improvements, we’ll be moving many exhibits to new locations within the science center. Please note On The Fly and Guitar: The Instrument that Rocked the World have left the building, however all your other favorite exhibits have simply been shuffled around a bit! If you have trouble finding your favorite interactive exhibit, please ask a friendly gallery facilitator for help. Thank you for your patience as we create a more fantastic Fleet experience!

Science on the Rocks: Love, Lust & Libido - The Chemistry of Sex

Love, Lust and Libido: The Chemistry of Sex

Birds do it. Bees do it. Even educated fleas do it ...
And we're going to do it, too, on Thursday, May 15, 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. Peep into the science of sex by exploring the laws of attraction, tinkering with sex toys and finding answers to questions surrounding the hot topic of sex. As always, your ticket will include complimentary food and drink samples, fascinating presentations and intriguing activities. Don't be uptight. Join the fun! 
  • Be tempted by sinful sips by Helm's Brewing Company, The Lost Abbey and Port Brewing Company, Aztec Brewing Company, Manzanita Brewing Company and California Fruit Wines.
  • Sample bites courtesy of Lil' Piggy's BBQ, West Coast Tavern, Feast On This and Carriage Trade Catering.
  • Let our scientists show you the dangerous side of a midnight rendezvous with a bed of nails and the science behind morning breath.
  • Take it slow and make your own Super Slo-Mo Video, thanks to A Little Scene.
  • Find out what the buzz is about—take apart adult toys to see how they work.
