There are many great exhibitions to see in the Bay Area so if
you feel like going to the museum for Mother’s day. Know that May
10th is also Koret Museum Day and 17 Bay
Area museums are free that day. It is a good opportunity to check
out a museum.
Here is the list of the museums with their locations and the
special exhibitions. Before going, read my tips on how to handle the visit with your little
ones . Because the museums are free, they most likely be
crowded so be patient, do not try to see everything, you can always
come back another day.
