This Free Admission Day lasts from 9:30am – 1:00pm and is generously sponsored by Wells Fargo.

February 2, 2008 - Groundhog Day
Celebrate the possible end of winter at Habitot Children's Museum. Make groundhog masks and puppets out of paper in the Art Studio, then put on a puppet show in our shadowbox theater. Visit our Dramatic Arts Studio and use face paint to transform your little ones into groundhogs and let them experience burrowing like a groundhog in our Wiggle Wall. Beginning crawlers can also get in on the fun in our InfantToddler Garden. Listen to storytelling from 12-1pm. Events take place all day 9:30am-4:30pm.
