Giant Bubbles

Giant bubbles are possible with simple homemade equipment. Giant bubbles can be the size of a large whale. Alan McKay of Wellington, New Zealand is on record as having created a bubble tunnel over 100 feet long. A list of official world records can be found at recordholders.org.

Fun Fact! A foot diameter bubble requires only 3 to 4 ml of bubble juice.
