Spring Break at The Lawrence


  • Lawrence Hall of Science 1 Centennial Drive Berkeley, CA, 94720 United States (map)

Explore the intersection of science and art during Spring Break at The Lawrence! From March 28–April 5, we’ll be open every day with hands-on discovery and fun for kids on break from school. The Flaming Lotus Girls return to The Lawrence for a third-straight year of flame-fueled art. Join us to meet the makers, explore the engineering behind the fire, and see what happens when industrial steel meets creative spark.

Haven by Flaming Lotus Girls
Daily, 11:00  a.m.–4:00 p.m.

Haven is a large interactive sculpture made from steel and reclaimed industrial materials. The giant metal nest houses a mechanical cockatoo that produces a small, controlled puff of fire when visitors press a button. Haven invites visitors to explore how metals, fuels, sensors, and human imagination can work together to shape a shared public artwork. Haven operates rain or shine!
