Celebrating the 10th year of San Diego Festival of Science & Engineering Expo at Petco Park in San Diego. 

Explore! Experiment and enjoy! The San Diego Science Expo is back! A free day of fun for the whole family. Science comes to life at over a hundred hands-on exhibits including robotics, engineering, gross & gooey experiments.  

You won’t want to miss it!  

Saturday, March 3
Science & Engineering Expo Day at Petco Park. It's FREE to the public and open from 10a.m. – 5p.m.  Parking is available for $5 in the Tailgate lot and Padres Parkade, but the trolley is a great way to visit, too.

Families can bring their own lunches.  The San Diego Padres permit guests to bring food into PETCO Park for individual consumption (but not for large groups) as long as they are consumed in the picnic areas. There is a $6 kids meal option, which includes a hot dog, a juice box and a cookie. This will be available at the Padres concession stands.  

Be sure to stop by the 10News Booth to see what it’s like to be on TV!
