Volunteers from the Austin Origami Circle help kids fold origami butterflies while supplies last, there is face painting, and Mariachi Paredes de Tejastitlán performs during the afternoon. It is a lively, hands-on way to connect the holiday's imagery with real science, and it works for preschoolers through middle schoolers. All activities are included with regular museum admission, and timed tickets can be bought online ahead of time. ## Similar picks in Austin - [Amazing Pterosaurs with Girlstart at the Texas Science & Natural History Museum](https://grassyknees.com/austin/activities/amazing-pterosaurs-with-girlstart-at-the-texas-science-and-natural-his--listing-ea4ad2559f13e6f627f5748b) — Sat, Nov 7 · 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM · Texas Science & Natural History Museum · All ages · With admission · checked Oct 24.
