About the shows

Bubbleology

Suitable for younger audiences

Our most popular show for junior scientists! Find out what bubbles are made of, learn why they’re so stretchy and lazy, and watch us put a brave volunteer inside a giant bubble. Discover the science behind surface tension, shapes and colours, and see how bubbles behave in surprising and spectacular ways. Expect popping fun, dazzling tricks, and lots of laughs as we explore the fascinating world of bubbles!

Sound & Music

Listen in to the exciting world of sound with our latest show designed for young minds. Through fun and engaging experiments, we will explore how sounds are made and changed as we play with the science behind volume and pitch. Join us through this interactive show as we get loud in an entertaining and educational way.

Liquid Nitrogen

Suitable for older audiences

Keep your cool with our Liquid Nitrogen Show! Explore the science of states of matter with our coolest chemical on site. This explosive and exciting show is full of thrills and chills as we freeze, smash, and pop our way through the changes between solids, liquids and gases. Recommended for ages 8 to adult.
