Habitot's traveling "mini museum" of mobile exhibits plus art, STEM, and maker activities are going on the road! Our exhibits and activities are best for kids 0-5, and siblings and adults are encouraged to play, too!
This event will be held at San Antonio Park in Oakland. This location has easy freeway access and is accessible from Fruitvale BART Station via AC Transit.
Habitot Children’s Museum is a non-profit organization serving a wide range of families! Our sliding scale admission of $1-$35 helps ensures access for families across socioeconomic backgrounds.
Each ticket is a SINGLE FAMILY GROUP ticket and will admit any combination of children and adults in the same household. Please register for just ONE time slot (1 hour an fifteen minute) to allow as many families as possible to attend our event.
Masks must be worn by all individuals over the age of two regardless of vaccination status. For more information on all our COVID-19 protocols, please visit COVID-19 Policy for Pop-ups.
What to Expect!
Fun, interactive activity stations for small hands and bodies!
New! Rocket Launcher
Launch your handmade rocket 15ft into the sky with a hand-cranked air pressure contraption.
Rocket Building & Tinkering
Design, build, and decorate a rocket from recycled materials. Test how it high it launches in the new rocket launcher. Decide if your make-and-keep needs anything added to it or taken away. A fun design activity!
WaterWorks
Playing with water is a learning opportunity! Explore boats, funnels, buckets, and streams to learn about the properties of water, and just have fun!
Boat Making & Tinkering
Design, build, and decorate a boat from recycled materials. Test how it floats and sails in the water table. Decide if your make-and-keep boat needs anything added to it or taken away. A fun design activity!
Art, STEM, and Making Stations
Create art and engage in maker activities with a wide range of materials that encourage "process" and not "product" learning. STEM experiments also help children learn basic science and math concepts.
Paintable Wall
Imagine an entire mural created by children on our giant paintable wall. Nontoxic washable paint.
Ball Run
Design your very own ball run with endless combinations of tubes, gutters, and more on our giant magnetic wall!
Imagination Playground Blocks
Build a fort, ball ramps, or anything you can imagine with Imagination Playground’s big foam blocks. This is a great activity for making new friends as you build together.
Baby Ball Pitt
Just for the littlest ones — a waterless pool filled with multi-colored plastic balls. Lots of giggles.
