The Journey of Professor Bubbles


Discovery Science Center "bubbles" into Spring Break with BubbleFest XII, March 15 through April 6, 2008. The mysteries of bubbles are revealed as guests explore the sciences behind the amazing and colorful world of bubbles. Hands-on bubble activities demonstrate a bubble's science and math principles (such as surface tension, elasticity, air pressure, molecular properties, and geometrical properties), while Fan Yang's Spectacular Laser Light & Bubble Show puts those theories to the ultimate test.

Leading the excitement is the Bubbles Under The Big Top featuring fifteen-time Guinness Book World Record Holder and Bubble Scientist, Fan Yang. Yang has been performing his amazing "Mega Bubble Show" in New York City and has jus opened a new show in Las Vegas. Yang been featured on TV networks around the globe. Discovery Science Center is proud to be his only West coast engagement this year. World-renowned for his unique and stunning artistry, Yang performs four bubble shows daily at BubbleFest featuring a bubble carousel, bubbles within bubbles, smoking bubbles, spinning bubbles, bouncing bubbles and bubbles in all shapes and sizes. To accomodate a larger audience, Yang will be featured outdoors in a tent! Bubble show tickets are $5 after Science Center admission ($9.95 to $12.95).
Included with general admission to Discovery Science Center are the Bubble Learning Stations, and the Center's more than 100 permanent hands-on exhibits. At Bubble Learning Stations, the bubble-blowers can also explore the secrets and sciences behind making the biggest and best bubbles including surface tension, elasticity, air pressure, molecular properties, and geometrical properties. Visitors will conduct experiments to determine how to make the biggest bubble, how to have their bubble last the longest, and how to touch the inside of a bubble.


Also offered during BubbleFest is a unique experience - "Me in a Bubble" - where guests can have their photo taken inside a giant soap bubble as proof it can be done! (Additional fee required.)

Tickets are available for purchase now at Discovery Science Center!
