Fresh Angeles: The Science of Gingerbread at Discovery Cube Los Angeles

The Science of Gingerbread at Discovery Cube Los Angeles

The Science of Gingerbread
November 27, 2015 – January 3, 2016

When we're not decking the halls we are usually going on fun family adventures that will warm our hearts during winter. I'm happy to tell you that there's lots of festive things to do at Discovery Cube Los Angeles to keep the kids active and educated during the holiday break, including the very popular, annual Science of Gingerbread exhibit. You'd be surprised to learn that there's a lot more to gingerbread making than just mixing, pouring, and tasting... there's science at work! (But tasting is probably my favorite part!)


Holiday Festival
Participate in hands-on activities designed to bring families together at Discovery Cube LA's Holiday Festival. Decorate and eat delicious holiday cookies, enjoy the 'Science of Snow' stage show, and much more! Plus check out award-winning gingerbread competition entries displayed throughout the Cube. 

Meet Santa
Meet Santa Claus. Get photos of the kids while they sit upon Santa's lap and tell him what they want for Christmas this year. Meet and Greet times are between 11:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. on the following dates:
November 27-29
December 5-6
December 12-13
December 19-24
Annual Gingerbread Competition
Do you make and decorate gingerbread houses with your family each year as a holiday tradition? We do and it's something our kids look forward to every December! You may have an award winner on your hands and I've got just the place for you to enter your gingerbread masterpiece. 

Discovery Cube Los Angeles proudly invites families to participate in its Annual Science of Gingerbread Competition. Local companies, schools, families and organizations are invited to build their own creations and enter into a competition. If you think you've got what it takes (and I'm sure you do) I encourage you to participate in this year's competition.
