Mobile Museum Prescott Market (Oakland) 3/29

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 the Prescott Market Food Hall in West Oakland during their soft opening with lots of new food establishments. Please visit their website for more information: West Oakland Market Hall. This location is AC Transit accessible with easy freeway access.

Habitot Children’s Museum is a non-profit organization serving a wide range of families! Our sliding scale admission of $5-$45 with a suggested donation of $20 per family helps ensure 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.

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.

Launch your handmade rocket 15ft into the sky with a hand-cranked air pressure contraption.

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!

Playing with water is a learning opportunity! Explore boats, funnels, buckets, and streams to learn about the properties of water, and just have fun!

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!

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. An art making table for 2's and younger is new for 2023.

Imagine an entire mural created by children on our giant paintable wall. Nontoxic washable paint.

Design your very own ball run with endless combinations of tubes, gutters, and more on our giant magnetic wall!

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.

Just for the littlest ones — a waterless pool filled with multi-colored plastic balls. Lots of giggles.
