A giant fruitcake now stands on the lawn of the Science Museum of Virginia, 2500 W. Broad St. Actually, it’s a fruitcake-shaped balloon advertising the museum’s annual “Fruitcake Science” experiments. Through Saturday, Dec. 30, the museum is holding activities and demonstrations involving possibly the most unpopular holiday treat. “We burn it, freeze, smash it and new this year, let people build contraptions to send it down a zip line,” said museum spokeswoman Jennifer Guild. “It’s our fun, quirky little way of teaching some science concepts in a different way.”
