What’s the difference between a great visit to a Science Center and a memorable visit? Live programs.
Our exhibits are designed to inspire curiosity and exploration, our live programming is designed to bring the exhibits to life. Whether it’s a show in the Darden Adventure Theater or a one-to-one interaction with a volunteer at the Crosby Observatory, our live programming creates the kind of impact that can last a lifetime.
Live programming at the Science Center includes:
Darden Adventure Theater stage shows
Live Science tabletop demonstrations
Animal interactions, such as alligator feedings and swamp talks
And much more
So, on your next trip to the Science Center, make sure you take the time to interact with our staff and volunteers during one of our live programs. It’s sure to make your visit memorable!
Run of Live Show Exploring Extreme Temps Extended by Popular Demand
Saturday Evenings, 7:00 p.m., Now Through August 21
From common colds, like ice and snow, to instant-freeze hazards like liquid Nitrogen and Carbonic Acid, Sub-Zero is the only way to chill! Check out the coolest show in town with the Orlando Science Center’s latest live experience.
Originally, this show was wrapping up at the end of July, but thanks to popular demand, Sub-Zero has been extended for several weeks. During this show, the “King of Cool, the Emperor of Ice, the Master Blaster of Disaster,” Jimmy “J-Rex” Waldron explores the science of things that freeze AND go bang!
Answer: a mind (and toe, and finger, and just general body) numbing -100°C (or -148°F!). Where is this place, and what does it mean to you? Well, the coldest place on Earth is known as “Dome A,” or “Dome Argus,” and is located in the middle of Antarctica. It is known as the summit of the “East Antarctic Ice Cap,” which is in essence a large “mountain” of ice in Antarctica. What this means to you is that you would probably freeze to death in seconds if you went there unprotected (never mind the elevation and oxygen issues).
What is interesting to note is that dry ice (frozen Carbon Dioxide) is generally kept at around –78.5°C (or -109°F). This means that if you brought a block of dry ice to Dome A, it would actually get colder. We sure do live on a crazy planet!
To check out some substances that are actually hundreds of degrees colder than Dome A (or dry ice), check out the new Orlando Science Center show Sub-Zero, playing every Saturday in July.
Here's a behind the scenes preview of our newest show - Sub-Zero. Extreme experiments take you right to the frozen edge and give you a close-up look at the transformative force of cold. From common colds, like ice and snow, to instant-freeze hazards like liquid Nitrogen and Carbonic Acid, Sub-Zero is the only way to chill!
Here's another behind the scenes preview of our newest show - Sub-Zero. Enjoy J-Rex as he dips his toes into some of the coldest substances the world has ever seen. Bundle up and explore the science of Sub-Zero!
