What a fun way to spend an hour! KABOOM! is science with a bang—literally. Hosted by the wildly entertaining Magnus D. (the “D” stands for Danger, obviously), this show is packed with fire, explosions, and all the things you absolutely don’t want your kids trying at home.

 From glowing test tubes to puffs of smoke and crowd-pleasing chemistry tricks, he takes the audience on a thrilling journey of experimentation. Whether it’s hydrogen peroxide foaming into giant “elephant toothpaste” or the freezing power of liquid nitrogen, every demonstration brings a mix of excitement, gasps, and a whole lot of shouting. But beneath the big bangs and bubbling beakers, there’s real science at play. Magnus’ energy is infectious – he’s the kind of performer who makes you want to love science as much as he does. With quick wit, plenty of laughs, and a knack for making complex ideas easy to understand, he keeps both kids and adults completely hooked.

It’s worth getting there early for a good seat because this show fills up fast, and trust me, you’ll want to be close to the action. Perfect for kids who love science and even better for those who think they don’t, KABOOM! is an hour of non-stop fun that’ll have everyone buzzing long after the smoke clears.
