MORE EXPERIMENTS IN THE LAB

What’s in the Box?! 

A classic Halloween challenge: reach in and guess what’s inside! Is it crrepy, slimy, squishy or fluffy? Only your sense of touch will tell…

True or Boo!

A fast-paced quiz game where crrepy superstitions meet real science. Test your knowledge, challenge your friends, and discover whether famous myths are fact… or just “boo-lievable” stories!

Interactive Experiments to Take Home

Make it, test it, take it with you! Guests will create creepy-science projects they can bring home as a reminder of their night in the Lab.

We will have a limited amount of tablets available for groups who do not have access to a smart phone. Please inform our call centre about how many tablets you will need for your group when booking.
