![]() ![]() Held every spring break, the bubble show was the highlight of our visit. Next spring break, we will definitely be back at Discovery Cube for The Mega Bubblefest Laser Show. After completing the treasure hunt, we turned in our transmitter for a special Dino Quest coin. We loved searching for clues on our research mission to track dinos, fossils and geodes with the light up (infared) research transmitter. My two paleontologists got to dig for prehistoric bones and learn more about dinos in the giant T-Rex. I guess I need to brush up on my eco skills before Earth Day!ĭino Quest is located outside and gives kids a chance to run around and get some energy out. Embarrassingly, my kindergartener beat me on sorting recyclables and diverting trash from the landfills. After we’d checked out and returned our cart, we raced over to test our recycling skills. ![]() Where we up to the challenge? We each grabbed a cart, selected an age appropriate shopping list and tried our best to make good food decisions with the scanners (which reminded me of registering for my wedding or baby showers) at the Discovery Market. The idea behind the Eco Challenge is to become an eco-friendly shopper and discover the importance of identifying and properly disposing of hazardous waste. I have two eco shoppers who love participating in the Eco Challenge. The ongoing exhibits at the Cube are a hit, too. The Discovery Cube Los Angeles, located near the Hansen Dam in Pocoima, opened just last November, and has already had 100,000 visitors. The museum opens at 9:00 AM and the line starts to form quickly afterwards, so arriving early is a good choice. Discovery Cube Orange County is 45 min to an hour from South Bay taking the 405 South to the 22 East. Did you know how much the player’s uniforms weigh? Test your strength by trying to lift the uniforms.īoth the LA and OC Discovery Cubes share a mission, which is to “inspire, educate and impact” learning in one of their four core areas: STEM proficiency, Early Learning, Healthy Living and Environmental Stewardship. Just trying to talk as fast as the real broadcasters made us laugh and have to re-record. The broadcast booth was also a big hit, where the kids had fun making recordings of play-by-play commentary. My kids’ favorite – pretending to drive a Zamboni Machine - is a full-size replica that lets riders move levers, and push buttons so that it’s easy to imagine cleaning the ice during an actual hockey game. The Science of Hockey exhibits themselves are similar and include interactive stations that allows kids to be the goalie, be the shooter, be the broadcaster, test your reaction time, see what kind of ice is the best for hockey pucks, and test your skating skills. ![]() (And, by the way, the Ducks are headed to the playoffs!). And, each has their own Science of Hockey exhibit - the LA site created in association with the LA Kings and the OC museum featuring the Anaheim Ducks. What we didn’t realize is that there are now two Discovery Cube sites – one in Santa Ana and one in the Valley, near the Hansen Dam Recreation Area. except for New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day (where there will only be three shows) and on Christmas Day (closed).The LA Kings just missed the Stanley Cup playoffs and the disappointment was beginning to set in… We thought a trip to the Discovery Cube’s new Science of Hockey exhibit might snap us out of our mood. 23 and ticket prices start at $14 per person. Tickets for Winter Lights: A Journey Home goes on sale Nov. Through a bit of magic and holiday spirit, a fantastical science fairy appears and takes Lumina, her younger sibling, and her adorable robot friend on a wild journey through magical lands where she realizes the importance of the scientific process, the challenges of failure and the hope and inspiration to try again and reach your dreams. Lumina, determined as ever, won’t be defeated. Lumina works feverishly in her makeshift Santa Ana garage lab amidst the storage bins and holiday garland to try and win first place to gain a life-changing college scholarship, but all attempts fail.
