Pennsylvania-based Gateway Ticketing Systems will provide a full service to the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center in San Diego, to include ticketing, access control and more.

The science venue is home to Southern California’s only Giant Dome Theater, renovated a few years ago with a NanoSeam Dome screen in an IMAX theatre.

The site, which welcomes more than 400,000 visitors annually and has more than a hundred hands-on science exhibits for all ages will use Gateway’s integrated Galaxy Product Suite.

The product spans ticketing, access control, retail, food and beverage, membership with integration through Blackbaud Raiser’s Edge fundraising software, online sales through the eGalaxy Web Store, group sales and resource management.

Chief operating officer Craig Blower at the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center said: “We were very deliberate in our selection process to make sure the winning solution would address our specific needs including resource management, membership, retail, and food and beverage.”

The Fleet is located within San Diego’s Balboa Park, the nation’s largest urban cultural park. Two other locations within the Park use Gateway for their ticketing and access control: San Diego Zoo and San Diego Air & Space Museum; the nearby U.S.S. Midway also uses the Galaxy Product Suite.
