Visitors are invited to join in the fun by enjoying lively song and dance performances, expressing creativity by making time-honored Mexican arts and crafts such as papel picado, king’s crowns, and corn husk dolls, becoming a quick study in tortilla-making and trying a bite of this culinary staple, sampling the traditional Three Kings pastry, Rosca de Reyes Photo opportunity for families: Adding to the joyful atmosphere, actors in Three Kings costumes will mingle with visitors in the museum offering delightful photo opportunities with children and families.
