Wish, we might, for a springtime that is full of ethereal beauty and lighter-than-air allure and the sorts of float-on-by fun that the breezy season so easily encapsulates.
But finding those quirky qualities in a spring celebration, a festivity that actually begins a few days before winter officially concludes, can be as challenging as keeping a delicate bubble on the end of a wand without allowing it to pop.
Discovery Cube OC understands those lighter-than-air longings we possess in the early days of spring. And over the last three decades, the Santa Ana science museum has delightfully delivered a host of engaging experiences built around, oh yes, the bubble.
Make that lots and lots and tons and oodles of bubbles: Bubblefest has become a soapy staple on the calendar of many Southern California families, all to give kids on spring break or anyone looking for a literally uplifting experience something a bit magical and definitely iridescent to enjoy.

Bubblefest begins bubbling March 14 at Discovery Cube OC.
Of course, bubbles aren’t magical in the strictly scientific sense, but poetry-wise, the bubble is as close to pure everyday enchantment as everyday things get.
You can experience the magic, poetry, and science of the bubble by entering the activity-packed Bubble Zone, a sizable exploratory area that will give visitors the chance to know more about these globular and gorgeous wonders through a number of hands-on exhibits.
There’s also the Mega Bubblefest Laser Show with bubble-knowing pro Melody Yang at the happy-making helm. The stage spectacular features all sorts of foamy fabulousness, with, yes, the excellent opportunity for a few audience members to step inside a big bubble.
A special Family Night on April 10 will give guests some after-hours fun, and there’s a Sensory Friendly Morning and Show March 15.
Weekend spots can fill up for the show, so securing your tickets — which become available to the public starting Feb. 27 — is important.
