LIVE ENTERTAINMENT UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA PHYSICS FORCE: A larger-than-life science demonstration troupe!
Get ready for BIG science and even BIGGER fun! The University of Minnesota Physics Force goes above and beyond to educate and electrify audiences with their larger-than-life demonstrations. They’re bringing FIVE FREE, jaw-dropping family-friendly shows packed with explosive experiments, dramatic stunts, and unforgettable moments that will spark excitement and wonder about science!
This isn’t your typical classroom physics. Imagine a physicist dropping 20 feet through thin air while a colleague fires a cannonball at him. Picture grown adults launching streams of toilet paper over the crowd with a roaring leaf blower. Yes — it’s real. Yes — it’s science. And yes — it’s absolutely hilarious.
With a thrilling blend of mind-blowing physics demonstrations and perfectly timed slapstick humor, the Physics Force proves that science can be loud, bold, surprising, and wildly entertaining. Perfect for kids, adults, and the young at heart, this high-energy performance will show you that physics isn’t just understandable — it’s unforgettable.
Come see how fun science can really be!
