SD Patch Parents: Bubblefest Celebrates 30 Years Of Bubble Magic For SoCal Families

SANTA ANA, CA — This is the final weekend Southern California families can experience 30 years of bubble magic at Discovery Cube Orange County's Bubblefest — and it's worth the drive from San Diego.

This Patch editor stopped by for the first time this year, and it's easy to see why this 30-year-old tradition has remained a SoCal favorite.

Bubblefest features interactive exhibits exploring the science and art of bubbles, including demonstrations on why bubbles float, shine and display color.

From the moment we stepped into the Bubble Zone, we were surrounded by thousands of shimmering bubbles and laughter. Kids and adults alike got hands-on with the bubble-filled exhibits.

The show-stopper? The Mega Bubblefest Laser Show. The show combines bubble artistry with lasers and music in a 40-minute performance. Designed to engaged audiences of all ages, the high-energy show highlights the science behind bubbles while delivering a visually dynamic experience.

Bubblefest runs through Sunday. Tickets are sold separately and include festival access and show admission.

Discovery Cube Orange County is located at 2500 N Main St. in Santa Ana.
