Bubbles, dinosaurs and howling jelly babies at the Apex

The Apex has three fun and fascinating shows for children in the Easter holidays…

On Monday, April 11, at 1pm, you can see the Amazing Bubble Man, Louis Pearl, (pictured above) who has been thrilling audiences for over 30 years with the magic, science and fun of bubbles.

Louis explores the breath-taking dynamics of bubbles, combining comedy and artistry with audience participation and enough spellbinding bubble tricks to keep everyone mesmerized. From square bubbles, bubbles inside bubbles, fog-filled bubbles, giant bubbles, bubble volcanoes, and people inside bubbles, the Amazing Bubble Man conjures shrieks of laughter and gasps of amazement from all ages.

So You Think You Know About Dinosaurs, on Tuesday, April 12, at 2pm, is filled with fascinating dinosaur facts about the biggest, deadliest and weirdest predators that ever roamed the planet 65 million years ago. Yes, dinosaurs such as Tyrannosaurus rex, Allosaurus and Spinosaurus might have walked or swam where you are right now.

Presented by Dr Ben Garrod, this pre-historic adventure features footage from Planet Dinosaur and from Ben’s ownpaleontological digs. Ben has been seen on TV in “Attenborough and the Giant Dinosaur”, “The Day the Dinosaurs Died” and “Secrets of Bones”. Ben is the man Sir David Attenborough turns to when he needs to know more about dinosaurs.

If you want to discover how many teeth a Triceratops might have had or the size of the Stegosaurus’ brain, or what they ate for breakfast, then this is the show for you!

If you think science is boring, think again – Mark Thompson’s Spectacular Science Show, on Friday, April 15, at 3pm, is science as you’ve never seen it before!

Designed for children and adults alike, Mark’s “Spectacular Science Show” explores the strange and magical properties of matter with exploding elephant’s toothpaste, vortex-generating dustbins and even howling jelly babies!

Awarded “Best Kid’s Show at Edinburgh Fringe” by the Derek Awards, Mark explains some of the basics of physics by connecting science to things that children can easily relate to and he hopes his attention-grabbing spectacles will remain in the brain to inspire a future generation of science, technology and engineering students.
