Have you ever visited Mingei International Museum in Balboa Park? Mingei is a unique museum because it not only displays art but also local crafts and from around the world. Recently Maribel took her daughter to Balboa Park for a mommy and med outing. She shares all about it.
Last month we visited Mingei for their Family Sunday –which is held on the third Sunday of the month (This weekend!) and it was so much fun! It’s the perfect way to spend a day with the family and at only $5.00 per family or $3.00 for individuals also easy on the wallet.
You are greeted at the front entrance with a “map” with photos of the exhibits to begin a treasure hunt. The treasure hunt has trivia and takes you throughout the museum and makes learning FUN! Once you have toured the museum and have found all your clues you can return to the entrance, turn in your completed hunt and receive a prize!

Family Sunday at the Mingei is truly a ton of fun! The museum also hosts a local artist demonstrating a make and take craft project. The day we visited the artist was Natasha Papousek (you can find her on ETSY). Natasha demonstrated beading and we had a great time putting our crafting skills tot the test.
The Mingei International Museum is open 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. Tuesday – Sunday. For more information head here.

*introduce new things to my children, that is 🙂
I LOVE Etsy!!! I strongly believe in supporting local craftsmen and am starting to do at-home crafts with my 2 year old daughter. Gives me a chance to find the artistic side of me that I never explored enough. Thank you for the referral!
Thanks for the chance to win this museum giveaway. We have never been and my kids would enjoy a visit.
We would love the opportunity to take our three girls. They love treasure hunts!!
