Early Warning: Save Some Cash and Reserve for Bubble Bash

The event sells out every year. The bubbles flow and the partygoers cheer in the New Year. And, though Halloween was over only a few days ago, it’s time to start planning for New Year’s Eve.

Families who plan to attend the Bubble Bash! are encouraged to make reservations now because the annual event is always a sell out, according to officials. Attendees who book early will get a $5 discount per person. To get the discount reservations must be made by Nov. 30.

“Bubble Bash is an event our members and visitors look forward to every year,” Sue Broad, DuPage Children's Museum Executive Director said in a news release. “In the rush of the holiday season, it is important to take time out to enjoy family, celebrate the year behind you and look forward to the year ahead.”

This year’s event is themed “Bubble Bash 2011 All Aboard! Next Stop 2012” and will tie in with the museum’s latest exhibit, Trains – Get on Board! The exhibit opened in September. Families will be able to explore exhibit stations that incorporate art, science and math; role-playing activities and model trains.

The event will include music from the award-winning band The Boogers, according to a news release from the DuPage County Children’s Museum.

Children will have the opportunity to make a train-themed hat and a train noisemaker to use to ring in the New Year, according to the museum. There will be refreshments and photo opportunities. 

Reservations are required. Register by Nov. 30 to save $5 per person. By Nov. 30, members $15; non-members $20. After Nov. 30, members $20; non-members $25. Registration is available now at www.dupagechildrensmuseum.org, by calling the Museum office at 630-637-8000 ext. 0 or by stopping at Visitor Services on your next trip to the Museum.
