History

Established in 1997.

Founded in May 1988, the Mad Science Group was created to meet the need for innovative and entertaining science programs for elementary school children. By developing programs that amaze children with spectacular science, listening to its customers, and adapting to new environments, the company expanded rapidly. New services were added, including birthday parties, camp activities, and after school programs.

Mad Science of the Bay Area began as Mad Science of the South Bay back in 1997. The franchise came under new ownership in 1999 and moved its headquarters from Milpitas to Newark. After incorporating more territory into its service area, the business name changed to Mad Science of the Bay Area.

Mad Science of the Bay Area serves Santa Clara County and San Mateo County as well as most of the cities in southern Alameda County, including San Leandro, Castro Valley, and Fremont.
