About the shows

Bubbleology

Suitable for younger audiences

Our most popular show for junior scientists! Find out what bubbles are made of, learn why bubbles are so stretchy and lazy, and watch us put a brave volunteer inside a giant bubble.

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. Perfect for anyone looking to see some experiments that they cannot try at home.

Up In Flames

Suitable for all ages

Learn about the science behind fire as we explore the powerful combination of heat, oxygen, and fuel. Witness some spectacular demonstrations including fire bubbles, fire tornadoes, whoosh bottle and more. Do not try this at home!
