A good morning activity for littles under 4. Recently visited new location and its a really lovely place for kids to create freely with unlimited art materials- how awesome! The staff is so wonderful helping guide the children through different projects and it wasnt too overcrowded on a Saturday morning. Parking is challenging. Take BART if you can. Theres ample space for strollers and a changing table in the bathroom. $7 pp, free for under 1.

New location at 12th Street BART commercial center.mocha has lots of great art options, very creative and you can easily come away with presents for the family courtesy of your kids efforts.It can be a little confusing finding them now since the area is filled with one-way streets. at least theres ample parking as the garage structure is right behind where mocha is located.Unfortunately a little bit pricey as one would expect with parking in the middle of downtown.

The creativity of children is so inspiring. Their art speaks for itself.

Fun and safe place to bring your kids, new theme every time. Adults pay for entry as well regardless if you will be making something too. Also there are areas you can sit and have lunch or eat snacks. Bring some paper bags with you if you want to take your art home. If not, kindly ask for some and they will be happy to provide some. Friendly and knowledgeable staff as well. I always have a good time, kids do too :)

Open studio was a godsend! Two little ones 4 and 6. Getting out of the hotel and spending a few hours watching their little brains got to town on multiple mediums, including Legos was great. I suggest coming here when kiddos need some room to play without a screen.

This is a great place for kids to explore, learn and create. There should be more places & programs like Mocha available to kids from all demographics, and zip codes. With everything going on from the lack of funding in schools, gentrification of urban neighborhoods, and a basic understanding of needs among the kids, we as adults need to continue to focus on the positive aspects of how art programs facilitate growth and education. The staff at Mocha are above exceptional, and they truly care about each individual that walk through its doors.

My daughter and I love this place! They change the art theme once a month and there are different stations with many activities. This is not only for kids, as I have seen many adults getting much into the art making along with the kiddos. Staff is very friendly and helpful. New location is in a shopping center with a bunch of restaurants around!Only part that sucks is parking, super hard to find!

Lively, colorful, hands-on opportunities for diverse children to make art, touch on Nature and to discover many ways to reach their goals!

These are great folks and a fantastic place for your creative side to shine. Lovely folks who really make everyone feel welcome

Despite calling and checking the website. I found no update on the fact that they were closed for the week. With parking being a challenge it would have great to have that information.

Great spot for a four year old birthday party!

Place seemed ok but its hard to find. There is no signs from the street to tell you about it and GPS fails to tell you its in the Oakland City Center. Drove around for a hour in the rain before I decided to look for the closest parking lot instead of the museum and THEN I found the place. Staff was meh. The kids loved the arts and crafts tho.

I work here! Such a fun place for field trips, open studio exploration, and summer camps!

Went for a field trip with my sons class. It just wasnt anything special. There was nothing the kids couldnt do in their own preschool class at school or even at home. The staff was great though and worked well with the children.

As a nanny of many years, and having experienced a variety of art spaces for kids, what sets MOCHA apart is the opportunity for structured OR unstructured creativity, which makes it accessible to all ages from toddlers on up. From the beautiful and light-filled space, to the kind and happy folks who work there, to the upbeat music playing, to the awesome artwork we get to bring home, MOCHA is just so great!

Great projects to do with your kids. Wed-Fri and the 3rd Saturday of every month.Also great place to be when its raining outside or having your kids birthday party.

Great place for young children to create freely. Also, therapeutic for parents.

Not really a museum but an open art studio that is fun for younger kids. Kids fun activities like seed mosaic, nature collage (hole punch with shapes on leaves), building your own nature journal, painting,...

What a great place. Excellent rotating exhibits and great parties on some Friday nights. I suggest an annual membership.

Great staff!

Fantastic place for kids to have fun and learn through art.

Great summer arts camp for kids.

Cool

Good!

Excellent summer camps!
