The world’s largest Mousetrap board game uses the tools of wonder and excitement to plant the seeds of curiosity with a 25 ton Rube Goldberg-type machine.

Come join Peralta Junction for the Grand Opening of The Life Size Game of Mousetrap, a visually stunning work of science inspired art and performance: A triumph of engineering artistry.

On Sunday enjoy live music from Lower Bottom Blues Band (1PM), Jerk Church (3PM) & Mortar and Pestle (5:30PM)

The Mousetrap, created by underground artist and builder Mark Perez, has combined Newtonian physics and large scale art with performance to create a unique brand of engineering fun packaged into a traveling road show, reaching audiences of all ages via science centers, museums, and festivals across the United States.
