BubbleFest
A Summer Science Festival!
August 6 - 10, 2008
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, kayak rides, 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!
We'll have a special guest joining us on Thursday, August 7. Come meet NASA Astronaut Clay Anderson, fresh from the Space Station, as he joins our Pacific Science Center interpreters in a Danger Science Demonstration, and in the Willard Smith Planetarium!
