Making art can get messy! Come to the Discovery Center dressed to make a mess with over 100 gallons of oobleck, a community canvas, kid-safe paints, LEGO printmaking, a foam cannon, a human car wash and a special demonstration from a local spray paint artist.

Activities

When they say Mess Fest, they mean it! For all activities, come dressed in clothes and shoes that can be permanently stained.

It is also suggested to bring a towel to clean up for the ride home as guests are encouraged to participate in Mess Fest after enjoying the Center’s exhibits.

  • Community Canvas: Use kid-safe washable spraypaints to leave your mark on community canvases
  • Foam Cannon: Play, dance, jump and explore mounds of foamy fun
  • 100 Gallons of Oobleck: It’s no magic trick–it’s science! Walk across a pool that will have you guessing if it’s filled with a liquid or a solid
  • LEGO Printmaking: Make your very own prints using LEGOs
  • Spray Paint Artist Demonstration: See how the pros use spray paint as a local artist spray paints a whole piano
  • Human Car Wash: Get squeaky-clean as you walk through a life-size, human car wash to rinse off
