Habitot and Public Market, Emeryville are thrilled to partner to present our Mobile Museum for young children and grownups at the Public Market in Emeryville.
Grownups can enjoy morning coffee at Peet’s Coffee and the whole family can stay for lunch at one of the 20+ food kiosks in the Public Market food hall.
The events are free to attend but we appreciate Eventbrite registration to plan for supplies.
We will be located in the Public Market breezeway. Walk ups allowed with space available.
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!
Habitot Children’s Museum is a non-profit organization serving a wide range of families!
Each ticket admits a SINGLE FAMILY GROUP with any combination of children and adults in the same household including caregiver. Please sign up for just ONE TICKET for a 1 hour and fifteen minute timeslot.
We recommend that masks be worn by all individuals over the age of two, although they are not required at this time. For more information on our current COVID-19 protocols, please visit COVID-19 Policy for Pop-ups.
What to Expect!
Fun, interactive activity stations for small hands and bodies!
Rocket & Vehicle Launcher
Launch your handmade rocket 15ft into the sky with a hand-cranked air pressure contraption. New for 2023, use the same hand-cranked air pressure contraption to launch a vehicle down a 10 ft track!
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 it 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 it 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
