Shop arts & crafts at the Old Bakery & Emporium, an Austin institution that originated in 1971. Handicrafts made by senior citizens will take you back to another time.

One “spark” of inspiration is all you need for your next BIG idea at the Thinkery, Austin’s home for “why?” and “how?” Each exhibit is hands-on, play-based learning, with activities and content appropriate for visitors of all ages. It’s never too early or too late to connect with people, share ideas, create experiences, and have a great time. Create colorful works of art, take apart toys or build and launch gliders at the Spark Shop. See, feel and hear the connections between water and sound at the Currents exhibit. Find out how color, light and shadows impact the environment at the Light Lab. Participate in sensory exploration, chemical reactions and edible minerals in the Kitchen Lab. Imagine buying and selling delicious fruits and vegetables, or collecting eggs from a pretend chicken coop in Fresh! Farmers’ Market. Step outside to the Backyard and scale the heights of a universally-accessible, custom-designed climber, or rest under the branches of a native elm tree.

Create a masterpiece at Ceramics Bayou, a paint-your-own pottery studio where you can choose from more than 400 art pieces to decorate and take home. Voted one of the top five family outings in Austin.
