Bring out your inner scientist this March Break. Join Mad Science as they concoct some crazy fun with two shows daily. Each day brings a new show, so be sure to come back!

Monday March 16

Moon Shot - We're going back! A show 50 years in the making! Have a blast learning about the science of space travel!

Tuesday March 17

Bubbling Potions - Get ready for some sizzlin’ excitement! Be dazzled and entertained by our dry ice spectacle!  Our Mad Science burp potion will tickle your taste buds, and our Mad Science shower will have children and adults alike laughing as they learn about chemical reactions and the states of matter.

Wednesday March 18

Light & Colour - Absorption, Transmission, Reflection oh my!  Open up those Peepers for some dazzling visual science exploring Light, Colour, and Vision. Your kids will be having so much fun that they will forget they're learning. Some light experiments are better seen in the dark, so this show may not be a good fit for kids who are not fans of darkness.

Thursday March 19

Up Up & Away - You think homework is pressure? Just wait until you learn how the weight of the earth’s atmosphere pushes down on you with the force of two elephants! Explore how Bernoulli’s principle creates enough lift to make a jumbo jet fly or how air pressure can be used to launch a hot air balloon.  

Friday March 20

Discover Science Show - Introduce your little scientists to the main parts of science: Chemistry, Physics  & Biology. Exciting experiments drawn from across the spectrum of science show kids that although there are all kinds of science, all science is about asking questions about the world around us.
