Science After Dark: Mess Fest
Don’t try this at home—experience it here instead!
5–8 p.m.
We’re making a mess for our next Science After Dark!
Join us as we make science bubble, erupt, splatter and more:
- Press, stomp, or pound paintballs to create a collaborative masterpiece.
- Watch some of our messiest demonstrations, from liquid nitrogen to diet soda geysers.
- Mix cookies and pudding to discover why composting can be deliciously fun.
- Create a new animal for our papier-mâché zoo in The Forge.
- Stretch, squish, and explore the gooey science of slime.
- Make, pop and play with bubbles.
- Discover even more interactive activities throughout the Science Museum.
Pro tip: wear some old clothes that you don’t mind getting messy!
