Making Science Fun Across the Wasatch Front with Mad Science of Greater Salt Lake

If you’ve ever watched a child’s eyes light up during a science experiment, you already understand the magic behind Mad Science of Greater Salt Lake. For the past 18 years, this family-owned business has been helping kids throughout the Wasatch Front discover that science isn’t just educational — it’s exciting, interactive, and downright fun.

Owned by Laurie Larsen, Mad Science of Greater Salt Lake brings hands-on science experiences directly to schools, camps, birthday parties, workshops, assemblies, and community programs. From bubbling experiments and smoky science tricks to secret agent missions and underground explorations, their programs are designed to spark curiosity and make learning unforgettable for elementary-aged children.

Science has always been a natural fit for Laurie, who purchased the existing business from another Davis County resident years ago. Since then, it’s truly become a family affair — with all five of her children having worked in the business over the years.

What makes Mad Science stand out is their ability to turn learning into an adventure. Their team travels throughout the community bringing engaging science experiences directly to local schools, organizations, and events. Whether it’s an after-school program, a summer camp, or a birthday celebration, their goal is simple: make science something kids can’t wait to explore.

Beyond the fun experiments and exciting demonstrations, Mad Science is also committed to giving back. They offer limited scholarships for low-income families participating in camps and after-school programs and proudly partner with organizations like Neighborhood House and Montessori Discovery Academy.

This summer, local families can look forward to two exciting science camps happening at Montessori Discovery Academy in Bountiful:

🕵️‍♂️ Secret Agent Lab | June 8–11 | 9:00–10:30 AM

🌎 Underground Explorers | July 6–9 | 9:00–10:30 AM

Both camps are designed for Pre-K through 3rd grade students and cost $120.

If your child loves experimenting, discovering, and getting hands-on with science, Mad Science of Greater Salt Lake may just be the perfect summer adventure.

🇺🇸 Help Honor Local Veterans

Volunteers are needed this week to help place American flags on more than 2,000 veterans’ graves at the Bountiful Cemetery ahead of Memorial Day. The community effort runs May 20–22 and organizers say it’s simple, meaningful, and family-friendly — even kids can help. It’s a hands-on way for local families to honor veterans and keep Memorial Day traditions alive in the community.

🛠️ Centerville Cheers Public Works Crew

Centerville City is giving a shoutout to the Public Works crews who keep the community running year-round — from early morning maintenance to emergency response calls. City leaders thanked the teams for the behind-the-scenes work that helps keep roads, utilities, and public spaces safe and clean. These crews play a major role in keeping daily life moving smoothly for Centerville residents, especially during storms, repairs, and city emergencies.

Hummingbird Surprise

A Beaver couple woke up to an unexpected sight after Monday’s snowstorm — more than 50 hummingbirds crowding around their backyard feeders. David and Charlotte Rubinger said the birds gathered in huge numbers as snow blanketed their yard and the nearby mountains.

Utah’s spring weather swings can create tough conditions for migrating wildlife, and backyard feeders can become a lifeline during late snowstorms. 👉 Read More

⚽ Bountiful Boys Soccer Storms Into State Championship

In one of the biggest wins of the season, No. 5 Bountiful erased a 2-0 halftime deficit to stun top-seeded Alta 3-2 in Monday’s 5A semifinal. Ezra Christiansen started the comeback, Pim DeJonge tied it minutes later, and Sammy Serio delivered the game-winning penalty kick to send the Redhawks to the state title game. Bountiful will now play for its first boys soccer championship since 2013. 👏 Let’s Go!

Your Dog Notices the Little Things 🐶

Dogs may not tell us when something feels “off,” but they often show it in small ways — extra scratching, licking paws, avoiding brushing, trouble settling down, or even just seeming less comfortable than usual.

Sometimes those little signs can be connected to buildup in the coat, overgrown nails, dirty ears, or seasonal irritation that slowly sneaks up over time.

That’s why routine hygiene care matters. Keeping dogs clean and comfortable isn’t just about appearance — it can help them feel more relaxed, active, and happy day to day.

At Scenthound Bountiful, the focus is on helping dogs feel their best through routine wellness-focused care designed to support comfort year-round.

🐾 Call 801-623-6561 to schedule your dog’s next visit and help keep those tails wagging strong.
