BubbleFest
A Summer Science Festival!
August 5 - 9, 2009
Summer fun goes out with a BANG - or a
POP, we should say - this summer at Pacific Science Center.
A summer tradition for many years, our annual BubbleFest
event is coming again with all its popping, bursting,
exploding excitement!
This year's event features Casey Carle's BubbleMania in
Pacific Science Center's Laser Dome. This spectacular
display of bubble madness will be performed by current
international Bubble Champion Artist and consultant to
Cirque du Soleil, Casey Carle. His expert bubble blowing
and bubble manipulation skills will be showcased three
times a day for visitors to be dazzled and amazed.
Don't forget to jump into our fluffy, foamy, bubbly Foam
Pit in Pacific Science Center's outdoor courtyard! We'll
fill up a twenty foot inflatable pool with over three feet
of kid-friendly foam!
Showers will be available for washing off, but those who
would rather remain dry can take a relaxing kayak ride
around the dinosaurs in Pacific Science Center's ponds, or
enjoy a number of summer-themed craft activities. Stand at
the top of our Upper Pads and create your very own large
bubbles to float in the air under the arches!
In addition to bubble performances, craft activities, huge
bubble spools, giant foam pits, and bubbles galore- Pacific
Science Center's fun-loving educators are coming together
to present fabulous summer demonstrations! Visitors can
enjoy the power of explosions and propulsion on the
bandstand during Pacific Science Center's favorite
summertime demonstration, Danger Science! You won't want to
miss our friends from the Mercer Slough Environmental
Education Center as they share their knowledge of
watersheds and invasive species in our Washington state
home!
Have you ever wondered why you can't chew apart bubble gum?
Pacific Science Center's camp-in teachers will explain the
science of this summertime bubble-popping candy, and invite
you to try ice cream made using liquid nitrogen!
