A must-see for kids of any age is this tantalizing collection of interactive exhibits and rides designed to provoke the imagination and teach scientific principles. The Virtual Zone includes SciTours, a motion simulator ride that lurches you into virtual deep sea, plus two different virtual reality attractions with a scientific bent. The Fleet also houses a 76-foot-high IMAX Dome Theater that shows films so realistic that ocean footage can actually give you motion sickness! And in 2001, the Fleet unveiled a spiffy new planetarium simulator powered by computer graphics. Planetarium shows are the first Wednesday of each month ($6.75 adults, $5.50 kids age 3-12, $6 seniors). The gift shop features an inspired collection of toys, gadgets, and clever souvenirs.
