What better way to celebrate our 25th birthday?
Activities you can try at home!
We’ve celebrated with balloons for over 100 years! They come in all shapes, sizes, and colours, making them perfect for decorating. But balloons aren’t just pretty objects. Hot air balloons carry people into the sky, medical balloons widen blood vessels, and weather balloons reach all the way to the stratosphere! Thanks to brave inventors, these incredible balloons are possible.
At Life Science Centre, we’ve been having tonnes of fun inspiring people to explore and enjoy science. This year, we’re celebrating our 25th birthday. What better way to do that than by making our own balloons?
