Description
Hands-on fun and experiments for curious minds.
It’s alive! That’s right, science comes alive at the Castle as we host the Mad Scientist on March 7th for two fun & interactive programs for young scientists.
Mad Science offers a thrilling 50 to 60-minute live science spectacular where experiments erupt, fog rolls across the room, and science comes alive before your eyes. This fast-paced, highly interactive program invites young scientists to join the Mad Scientist on stage, answer animated questions, and assist with jaw-dropping demonstrations that look like magic but are grounded in real science. Using an inquiry-based approach, every experiment is explained in an engaging, age-appropriate way that keeps kids curious, laughing, and learning. Expect foggy dry ice storms, giant beach balls floating in midair, sizzling and shivering scissors, bubbling showers, and dramatic Fire and Ice effects that never fail to amaze.
Kids will be encouraged to sit up front, close to the stage, with accompanying adults seated behind them. This arrangement helps ensure all children can see clearly and actively engage in the program. This program is ideal for ages 5 and up. It offers the opportunity for hands-on engagement and is designed to spark wonder, encourage participation, and leave kids buzzing with excitement long after the show ends. Space is limited, and shows often sell out. Reserve your tickets now and let your young scientists experience Mad Science unleashed at the Castle!
