Sub Zero

Take a break from the summer heat at -321 degrees

Join our resident physicist at the “The Stage” to chill out and explore a world below freezing. With materials so cold they can only be touched with cryogenic gloves, you’re in for an icy treat! Free with Museum admission.

The star of the show is liquid nitrogen – a unique element that’s so cold, when poured out of its tank in a room temperature setting; it turns to gas before even hitting the floor – giving you the chance to frolic in a nitrogen cloud. You’ll watch as it makes a surgical glove as delicate as glass, takes the bounce out of a bouncy ball and causes a penny to shatter with one strike of a hammer.

Did you know that 78% of the Earth’s atmosphere is composed of nitrogen?

Learn more frosty facts about this important element at “Sub Zero”.
