Flashback

Celebrate 50 years of exploration

Celebrate 50 years of exploration at the Fleet with Flashback. This experience lets you build a Catenary Arch among 1970s retro orange carpet and your mom’s Tupperware. See the Colored Shadows as you move and play at a 1980s mall food court. Light up our Hopscotch as you jump for joy while taking a selfie as you did in the 2010s.

The exhibit features the Fleet’s classic collection set in five themed galleries representing the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s and 2010s. Each gallery offers something for everyone to feel connected to their memories and to the power of science. Plus, see how the Fleet’s history aligns with the history of our San Diego community, science history and notable events.
