Ace Monster Toys is a hackerspace in the SF Bay Area in Oakland. Our space is generally open to members and their guests, and not the general public. If you would just like to see the space or exchange greetings from another hacker space, people on our Weekly Schedule can show you around with some advance notice.
Ace Monster Toys is located at 6050 Lowell Street in Oakland, California, near the borders of Berkeley and Emeryville. Here is a map.
We are only open to the public when there is actually someone here, so please check out the scheduled events, or check the live webcam to see if anyone's home.

Getting Here
via Public Transit
The closest bus stop is the AC Transit stop at Market Street and 59th. It is served by line 88 and the F transbay to SF. The next closest stop is at Stanford and San Pablo and is served by the 72 series and the 802 night owl bus. We're between MacArthur and Ashby BART, and it's about a mile to get to either. The Emeryville Amtrak station is 4/5 of a mile away.
Driving
From I-80, take the Powell street/Emeryville exit, take Powell east until it turns into Stanford, then turn left on Lowell and we'll be on your right in a few blocks.
From CA-24, take the Martin Luther King Jr/51st St. exit and take MLK north for a while until it veers left away from the BART tracks. Turn left on 62nd at the next intersection, then right on Lowell.
Note that the 62nd/Adeline/Stanford area is notoriously hard to navigate and it's normal to get lost the first few times.
Flying
Fly into OAK and take the BART shuttle to the Oakland Airport/Coliseum station, then take a Richmond train to Ashby station.
Fly into SFO and take any train to the East Bay, then transfer to a Richmond train when you can and get off at Ashby.
