A Berkeley legend can be a lot to take in.
Your first visit to the Ecopark can be overwhelming — in the best way. A few insider tips:
- Bring something warm — the bay breeze blows through our big warehouse
- Wear gloves and clothes you don’t mind getting dusty
- Dogs are welcome on leash; kids should be supervised
- Need a hand moving something? Ask any employee — that’s why we’re here
- Buy it now and we’ll hold it for up to a week
