Join the circus… A splishy-splashy SCIENCE circus!

Roll up! Roll up! It’s the splishiest, splashiest show on Earth!

From the multi-award-winning creators of The Alphabet of Awesome Science and You Are a Doughnut comes a wet and wild science circus where the star of the show is (drum roll please…) — WATER!

Join ringmaster Rip Tide as he expertly explores and experiments with the exciting properties of this exceptional chemical. You’ll be confounded and astounded while experiencing thrills and (actual!) spills in equal measure — as water squirts, spurts and sprays in every conceivable direction!

Plus, Rip is going to need to recruit a few more stars to join him on stage! Will you be brave enough to step into the “SPLASH ZONE”?

Filled to overflowing with circusy-science, this show will have you singing, dancing, laughing, gasping… and ducking for cover!

Oh, and there is a possibility (in fact a probability) that you might learn a thing or three… (not sorry about it!).
