SCIENCE THEATRE
at NORTHGATE MALL

Welcome to the Creative Discovery Museum Science Theatre in Northgate Mall! Feel the thrill of science when you visit the Science Theatre. Our shows dazzle students with spectacular examples of physical and chemical phenomena. Be amazed by the liquid nitrogen cannon and the Farraday Cage. Watch in amazement as sparks of electricity fly across the room and see objects that seem to defy gravity. Jaws will drop, eyes will widen and hair will literally "stand on end".
Science Theatre birthday parties, workshops, school break camps and special events extend the science fun beyond the classroom.
