The one-hour magic show is filled with amazing glow-in-the-dark substances, fantastic colour changes, spontaneous combustion reactions and more.

Families can try some ice cream made with liquid nitrogen. They can also learn about pleasant and not-so-pleasant smells, the chemistry of wine and chocolate and the amazing fluorescent and phosphorescent properties of some minerals.

There are three show times, 10:30 a.m., 1:00 p.m., and 3:45 p.m.
