Not-Too-Spooky Habitot Halloween
Wear your costume to Habitot's 10th annual Habitot Halloween event, a not-too-spooky event for infants, toddlers and preschoolers. Conduct experiments and make Halloween slime to take home in our "Mad Scientist's Laboratory" and create jack-o-lantern window decorations. Shop for spiders and bugs from our ghoulish Halloween menu or build with giant "candies" in our candyland. Play miniature golf in the graveyard, make ghoulish ghosts to fly in the Ghost Cave, and from 11:00 am - 12:00 pm, listen to Halloween stories.

Lead Toy Collection
More than 21 million toys were recalled in the last month due to concerns about lead paint, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. Prevent lead poisoning and drop off your toxic toys at Habitot Children's Museum, sponsored by the City of Berkeley. Improper discarding in household garbage cans or dumpsters is unsafe for the environment as lead contaminates dumps and groundwater.
