Mythbusters: The Explosive Exhibition at the Ontario Science Centre
Exciting news! You know all those things you’re not supposed to try at home, like hang off a ledge or drive blindly? Well, you can try all those things at Mythbusters: The Explosive Exhibition, which opens at the Ontario Science Centre today. It’s an interactive exhibit based on real experiments from the Discovery Channel’s TV show. I had the chance to visit the exhibit and it was truly amazing. Check out my photo diary below.
Entrance to the Mythbusters: The Explosive Exhibition
The entrance to the Mythbusters exhibition looks just like a TV set!
Mechanical Shark
Mythbusters props. Can you spot “Buster”?
Visitors can see props from the show in real life! The mechanical shark was pretty cool.
Tablecloth Chaos
“Tablecloth Chaos” lets you try to pull a tablecloth off a fully set table. Do you want to see if I could do it? Check out the video here!
Cliffhanger Exhibit.
At the Cliffhanger exhibit, you can tests your limits by holding onto a small ledge. How do people in movies do it?
Butter Side Up
This exhibit tests whether a dropped piece of toast always lands butter side down. With various contraptions, I tested this theory!
All butter-sides up!
First, I dropped it from a lever three times and they all landed with the butter side up. I thought I had my answer until I tested it again…
All non-butter-sides down!
The second time, all three pieces landed butter side down.
Mythbusters Live Demonstration Stage
I even got to see a 10-minute live mythbusting demonstration. Today they were testing to see if a person could dodge a paintball!
I had so much fun at Mythbusters: The Explosive Exhibition. It will be at the Ontario Science Centre from June 5th to September 13th, 2015. You can also check out the Mythbusters website for more cool stuff.
