Celebrate Cinco de Mayo at Habitot from 10:00 am - 5:00pm at Habitot Children's Museum! Make musical maracas decorated with traditional Mexican colors and Talavera tiles (brightly colored mosaic tiles) like those that can be found in cities across Mexico or stop by the Habitot Flower Stand and make a flower to wear. The Habitot Grocery exhibit will be transformed into a Habitot Mercado, or traditional Mexican market, where Mexican fabrics, tropical flowers and frutas y verduras can be "purchased".
This Free Admission Day is generously sponsored by Bank of America.

About Habitot:
Habitot Children’s Museum is the East Bay's award-winning hands-on discovery museum for young children. Its mission is to nurture and enrich the lives of young children, their families, and the adults who care for them by providing an environment for early childhood learning and exploration, parenting education and community outreach. Habitot ensures its accessibility for all Bay Area families through its Family Outreach Program that brings more than 8,000 low-income and at-risk children into the museum every year through scholarships, subsidized memberships and free admissions days.

More than 600,000 people have enjoyed the museum's interactive exhibits, art programs and classes since its opening in 1998. Not just a place to entertain young children, Habitot provides resources and support for early childhood learning, parenting success, and community connection.
