🌿 The Garden Museum is one of those local gems I can’t wait to share with you! It’s a mobile, outdoor children’s museum that pops up in parks, schools, and community spaces—turning them into nature-based play environments. Check out the pop-up calendar above or click here for their Instagram page.

Based right here in Livermore, they bring hands-on, exploratory fun to the Tri-Valley and Bay Area through school field trips and family pop-up play sessions. Kids get to tinker, imagine, and connect with the world around them through natural exploration and sensory play, all inspired by Reggio Emilia and Montessori approaches.

It’s all about making play joyful, intentional, and accessible for every child. 💚 Keep an eye out for their next local pop-up—you’ll definitely want to bring the kids!
