MOUNTAINSIDE, NJ – The Wednesday Matinee Series at Trailside Nature and Science Center continues on July 28 with a show called “Wacky Science” beginning at 1:30 p.m.
“Wacky Science is an entertaining, interactive family program that will educate and delight children and parents alike,” said Freeholder Vice Chairwoman Deborah Scanlon. “Union County is committed to providing affordable family programs at our facilities and the Wednesday Matinee Series is a prime example of that effort.”
The July 28 matinee features “Crazy S. Cooper” from Mad Science of West New Jersey, who will melt the Wicked Witch of the West right before your very eyes and conduct a dry ice experiment and a “hair raising” static electricity demonstration.
The August 4 Wednesday Matinee will feature “Rizzo’s Reptile Discovery” – a blend of nature and environmental awareness that helps the audience learn about earth’s fascinating creatures.
The final Wednesday Matinee for the summer will be on August 11, when famed naturalist Steve “Wildman” Brill will demonstrate how people have been using wild plants for centuries.
All the Wednesday Matinee shows are recommended for children ages 4 and older. Admission is $4.00 per person and tickets go on sale at 1:00 p.m. on the day of the show.
