Ministry of Science — How Was It?
We’ve just attended a family-friendly show, Ministry of Science, and it was a.m.a.z.i.n.g.! A couple of months ago, a Facebook ad appeared on my profile. It was a very good ad because it made me curious and it looked like something I’ve never seen before. After I showed the video to my son, he was so thrilled that I decided to buy tickets for the entire family. The Ministry of Science show was engaging.

They were fun, the presenters were very good and…

The first thing that caught our attention as we walked through the trees was the cascade. Its sparkling beauty left us in awe and I couldn’t help but think how stunning it looked. The history behind the cascade is fascinating. Construction began in 1752 under the guidance of William Augustus, Duke of Cumberland, with architect Henry Flitcroft leading the design.
