Spend some one-on-one time with each of your kids this Valentine’s Day. Then make it a habit by scheduling parent-child dates on a weekly, monthly or bi-monthly basis. No matter the time you have, it will be time well spent, and the best investment you can make in your child.

Bring your child to the Fleet Science Center in Balboa Park, where exhibits encourage touching, learning and exploring. Admission includes interactive exhibits, live science shows and one IMAX film in the Giant Dome Theater (the only IMAX Dome Theater in Southern California). The 45-min. documentaries take viewers on an immersive experience to discover pandas in China, aquatic wonders of the Great Barrier Reef or volcanoes around the world. Little ones enjoy Kid City, designed especially for children ages 5 and under.
