Summer 2017 Specials

Bring Science to your Summer!

For our 14th Anniversary, we’re excited to offer super special packages this summer!  We’re excited to have some of our amazing scientists back from national tour, and each brings amazing knowledge and experience that we want to share with your kids in a more interactive setting. Usually, add-on workshops immediately follow the show. All package workshops must begin in the same location within one hour of your show. These special prices are valid for shows June 20-Sep 2, 2017.

LaserScience

LaserScience is not just a laser show; it is an interactive exploration of vision and light, using audience volunteers and questions.  Like all of our shows, nothing is scripted.

  • Please silence any smoke detectors (heat detectors are fine).  We can’t see beams in the air without adding mist, which can set off smoke detectors that can’t tell the difference.

Workshop: Paint with Light!381080_10150615273868146_478346373_n
Dance and draw with light! Our cameras will capture your kinetic art, and send you the photos! Get hands-on with persistence of vision, the science that drives laser shows. The first hour is included in this package, which can accommodate a participant each minute.  Additional hours are $100/hour. All images will be posted to a public facebook or password-protected gallery for sharing with your parents.  Campers’ faces do not need to be part of the images.

Optional – Custom Shows:
Want a customized show for your Olympics / Color War breakout or special event?  We can design custom-animated laser projections as part of the show or to project in or on the outside of your event spaces.  Call us for more information.  Check out an example from last summer:

We go anywhere!

Wondergy travels all over the country, and sometimes around the world.  We visit over 1000 schools and summer programs each year, in over 35 US states. We’d love to visit you!

Travel prices by county

For shows in June 2016 onward, our travel costs are computed by county. Just move your mouse pointer over to your county, and you should see the rates for that particular county. Scroll to zoom in, drag to move around, and click your county to zoom up close.

Multiple Shows

If we don’t have to pack up, load up, unload, and set up, that saves us a lot.  We’re happy to share that savings with you.  Book multiple consecutive shows in the same location for very substantial discounts.

Bring Wondergy with Less Travel (without a transporter)

Reducing the cost of travel is easy – combine forces! If we can present programs at 2 or more locations without having to return to Philadelphia, the travel cost can be divided between all of the locations that book together. Synchronize with your fellow librarians, camp directors, principals, or presidents. Then call us and let us know the dates that work for everyone in your group.  Please be sure to reference the other members of your group to be included in travel discounts.
