Bubblefest XIX Now At Discovery Cube Orange County

One of my absolute favorite exhibits is currently going on at Discovery Cube Orange County: Bubblefest XIX, and we had the opportunity to check it out earlier this week.

Now through April 12, 2015, guests will have the opportunity to see Mr. Deni Yang demonstrate the art of a Mega Bubblefest XIX Laser Show and more.

First of all, when you get to the Discovery Cube Orange County, you’ll notice that their expansion is almost complete. They have currently added a new wing, the Julianne Argyros Showcase Theater. You’ll be able to tell where it is, by the brightly colored exterior. Since we arrived a little early for the show, we wanted to start with the interactive exhibits located just outside the theater.

First up, the Bubble Lagoon: Imagine, a giant bubble you can climb into and ride across the water. The kids had so much fun rolling around in these giant plastic bubbles filled with air. Their biggest challenge was to try to stand. The entire time they were giggling and laughing; and when they got out, they wanted to do it again!

Next, we ran to the bubble play area. This is another “I’m not ready to leave yet, MOM” spot. The kids stood on opposite sides of the area, trying to see who could make the longest bubble towards each other. Then they decided to try to wrap themselves in bubbles. Let me tell you, loads of fun that even daddy got involved.

A giant inflatable slide was fun for the kids to race each other, “Me in a Bubble” photo opportunity, and the best food trucks in Orange County. They even had a little picnic bench area for those who chose to eat lunch outside amongst the bubble fun.

Once we were finally finished playing, we headed into the Julianne Argyros Showcase Theater: a 10,000 square-foot flexible space is a first-of-its-kind in the museum world with the ability to transform from a world-class exhibit hall to a 500 seat theater, where Bubblefest XIX is held this year.

Bubble Scientist Deni Yang, and the Guinness World Record for producing the largest bubble ever, measuring over 170 feet; performed his signature bubble artistry with bubbles, smoke, lasers, and a few young volunteers from the audience. Some of the amazing things we saw included a bubble carousel, smoking bubbles, bubbles within bubbles, and many more.
