Southern California’s favorite Spring Break tradition is back and bigger than ever! Starting Saturday, March 14, Discovery Cube Orange County transforms into a sudsy wonderland for the annual Bubblefest.

This isn’t just a festival; it’s a milestone year. For the first time, the event features an extended residency, meaning your family has even more opportunities to experience the “un-bubble-lievable” science of soap and water.

The Main Event: Mega Bubblefest Laser Show

Prepare to be dazzled by the Mega Bubblefest Laser Show. This 40-minute spectacular is a high-energy fusion of world-class bubble artistry, cutting-edge lasers, and pulse-pounding music. It’s a sensory experience that proves science is anything but boring!

Hands-On Science at the Bubble Zone

From 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, head to the Bubble Zone to dive into the physics of suds. Discover the secrets behind why bubbles float, why they shimmer with iridescent colors, and how they swirl. It’s an immersive playground where kids (and kids at heart) can explore the artistry and engineering of every bubble.
