The Science Behind Santa

Dr. Kaboom takes on Christmas and the Jolly Old Elf on Dec. 20 in the Science of Santa at the NYU Skirball Center.

Everyone knows that Christmastime is magical for kids of all ages. But did you ever care to know the actual science behind the magic that Santa brings each year?

The science is finally explained and families find out from Dr. Kaboom as he takes the audience on an interactive and thrilling scientific exploration into Santa’s secrets.

This hilarious show explains to the audience how Santa climbs down tight chimneys, makes reindeer fly and, most importantly, knows who has been bad or good.
