Create the Ultimate Gingerbread House

Let your children's’ imaginations run wild as they create the ultimate gingerbread house, complete with candy canes, gumdrops, frosting, and other treats at the Bay Area Discovery Museum this holiday season. The museum's 14th Annual Gingerbread Architecture Extravaganza runs through December 23, 2011.

The cost is $30 per gingerbread kit for Bay Area Discovery Museum members and $40 per kit for non-members, which includes museum admission for one adult and one child per kit purchased. Pre-registration is required, so register online at the Bay Area Discovery Museum's website.

Make sure to reserve your spot as soon as possible, because this extremely popular event often does sell out.

Gingerbread house sessions are on the following dates:

• Weekdays: 9:30, 10:30 & 11:30 am
  December 19, 20, 21, 22 & 23

We've participated in this event, and it's a a lot of fun. They supply you with gingerbread pieces, frosting and lots of candy decorations—all you need to do is bring your imagination and build your own unique house!
