Program Description

Event Details

Truly innovative and spell-binding, The Mousetrap Machine shows how cool machines can be! Five simple machines, the lever, the wheel, pulley, inclined plane and the screw are built entirely with balloons by Smarty Pants! Throughout the show, volunteers will help demonstrate how each thing works. In the show's thrilling finale, the machines are linked together to create a massive contraption in order to catch a runaway mouse!

The Mousetrap Machine Show has been featured multiple times on the WGN Morning News program.

Show lasts 45 minutes.
