our mobile play spaces serve schools & communities across the Bay Area… & growing!
come play with us!
We create thoughtfully curated, nature-inspired outdoor playscapes rooted in child-led exploration. From school campuses to community pop-ups and private gatherings, we bring sensory-rich, open-ended play experiences that encourage children to slow down, explore, create, and connect.
Our playspaces are designed to welcome children of varying ages, abilities, and developmental needs, with activities especially suited for ages 1–7. Bigger hands are always welcome to join the fun!

loved by local families
“Imagine all the activities you wished you had time & energy (and the supplies on hand) to set up for your kids- all in one place.”
“The whole set up was so dreamy and as a parent I loved how easy and wholesome the activities were. My kids would’ve stayed all day if they could!”
“A fun, relaxing morning with my 2.5yo son. He had a great time. We stayed for 90 minutes, but he happily would have shut the place down if I didn’t drag him away for other plans.”
“It was the perfect balance of play and learning. We’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend The Garden Museum to other families!”
“My 3 kiddos age 3, 6, and 8 had a great time at this event. There was enough to keep them exploring for the whole 2 hour time period. They were creative and self directed with the stations and I thought it was very well done.”
