The San Antonio location opened with fourteen installations in October 2020.

Portland, Oregon

The Portland location, sometimes called Hopscotch Portland, opened in June 2023. It has been described as an "immersive art experience", an "immersive gallery space", and an "unconventional art venue". Hopscotch operates in a 23,000-square-food space in the Goat Blocks. There are fourteen installations, including:

  • Augmented Normalcy, described as "a VR exhibit that allows visitors to view themselves from unrealistic angles while wandering through a cartoony, artificial turf-covered landscape"
  • Diodic Daydream by Matchless Builds, described as "a glowing ball pit that manages to be both playful and oddly soothing"
  • Quantum Trampoline by Kuflex, described as "a bounce-activated laser light extravaganza" and "a responsive light display that transforms based on the movements of guests bouncing along a trampoline"
  • Unknown Atmospheres, described as "a contemporary hall of mirrors where audiences watch curtains of pingpong ball-sized spots of light chase each other, flashing and pulsing in precise synchrony to an electronic symphony"

The bar has cocktails and non-alcoholic drinks, as well as a food menu created by chef Sara Hauman. Food options include ice cream, macaroni and cheese, popcorn, and waffles. The Capri Sun is a passion fruit margarita with chamoy and the Celestial Unicorn has butterfly pea lemonade, lavender, and edible glitter on the rim. Hopscotch served Kate's Ice Cream in 2024.
