Bubblefest at Discovery Cube OC
Last night my family and I were invited to preview Bubblefest at the Orange County Discovery Cube, a festival featuring bubble scientist and performance artist Deni Yang. This was our first time at the event and it was amazing! This hands-on exhibit has been the most popular attraction at Discovery Cube for two decades. Bubblefest will run April 1 to April 16, 2017 at Discovery Cube’s Orange County campus. Bubblefest will also feature water spheres, a bubble zone for guests of all ages, and other bubble-focused educational experiments, including interactive activities for early learners who are 5 years old and younger.
About Bubblefest
We’ve popped the science of bubbles for 21 years and find there are new things to learn every year,” said Joe Adams, CEO, Discovery Science Foundation. “This is one of our most-popular events because it allows people of all ages to immerse themselves in the wonder of bubbles. Bubblefest brings out the kid in all of us while enabling guests to explore the science behind the shape, longevity and colors of these rainbow-hued globes.
The highlight of our night was a 45-minute Mega Bubblefest Laser Show production in the 10,000 square-foot Julianne Argyros Showcase Theater. Famed bubble scientist and performance artist Yang led the impressive variety stage show, which combines music, lasers, lighting effects and bubble artistry to create a spectacular experience for all ages.
