TWOSE's Science Demonstrations are all-new this year! We even offer select demos performed in French and the best part: all Science Demonstrations are now included in the price of Building Admission!
Science Demonstrations take place daily on the Science Demo Stage*:
- 11:00 a.m. -- Spectacular Spectrum
- 12:00 p.m. -- Thermal Theatrics
