This was probably one of our favorite gift shops in Napa…read more While the items were slightly on the touristy side, the vibe was welcoming and the gift areas were clean and well maintained. Most of the selection was about mid to high level quality with reasonable pricing, and they had quite a few fun maps and other large-scale decorations as part of the welcome center which were fun to see. All in all, the service was friendly and it was nice to walk around in, so if you're visiting the area I'd definitely drop in.

There was an area under construction so maybe they will have something more interesting in the future. But my whole family (including my Apple obsessed hubby) only spent about 15 min here left completely disappointed. I felt it was a waste of my time driving here to see it unless you are an Apple super fan and need an overpriced Apple t-shirt, or need to buy some kind of Apple product and don't have an Apple Store near you.

We hiked it so fast and the views were spectacular. I can't wait to hike this in the spring with all the flowers in bloom. There are so many surrounding trails and I want to do them all! Lots of bathrooms throughout the trail. There is a visitor center at the top which you can drive to also. Please come and creat your own adventure.

It's been a while since I drove roads similar to this, so it wasn't too bad, up. Hopefully down is OK too. There is a small entry fee (per car), but also a senior discount. So we only had time for the Summit. There are more Yelp! listings for other parts of the park. OK, so I was not prepared for the breathtaking views! It was a slightly hazy, or was it smoggy, day... But the views were still fantastic! If the views were not enough, there is a visitors' center in the light tower at the summit. Inside is lots of information, a Rangers' Station, and several informative and/or interactive displays. And there is camping in Mt Diablo too! To make things even more interesting, we took a different route down. I don't like backtracking, so this was a bonus... And i wasn't too bad.

Large self service touch screen computers to get Napa information - Restaurants, wineries, hotels, suggested things to do, events, maps, travel information, etc. Ambiance - Cool new location, better and more centrally located. Clean restrooms. Cool decor, even a hot air balloon basket selfie station. Service - 5 stars. EVERYone was so friendly and welcoming! As our guests were shopping, I ended up making small talk and hanging out with the team. Price - Depends on what souvenirs you buy. Owner Comment - Thanks for having this consistent amazing service.

Found this park by accident and I'm so glad I stopped to check it out!…read more I did a hike on Castleridge trail and drove by this park on my way out. Small park but it's filled with the history of Pleasanton! This is a historical landmark and you can visit the last remaining adobe house in California. The adobe house was the first to be built in Pleasanton and the tenant family farmers actually lived there back in 1898 to 1917. The house was very unique with a family room, bedrooms, kitchen and dining area. Everything was furnished as it would have been in the 1920s so that was pretty neat to see. The community park also included a replica of Meadowlark Dairy. Worth a visit if you are in town or after a long hike! Plenty of parking available and it's free so definitely stop by.

Wow what a treasure in Pleasanton!…read more The city of Pleasanton invested a ton of time and money to restore this 1859 adobe and make it safe for visitors. They have done one fantastic job! They have several charts that show the progression of the Adobe over time. In 1854, when it was first built, it was actually quite small with only three rooms. Then there was an extra area added, and eventually it sort of merged with the small northern adobe. Besides the Adobe building itself, you can go into the visitor center, where a nice docent will take your kids on little hikes and nature walks. There's tons of other information inside that building. I especially like the information and the photos about the Meadowlark Dairy operation. While you're here, your kids can try roping the calf, or even milking a real cow. Well okay, it's not a real cow, and it's water instead of milk, but you get the idea. A lot of fun for kids of all ages. It's located on Old Foothill Road. Easy to get to. I had no problem whatsoever with parking. Has a drinking fountain and clean restrooms with baby changing tables as well.

She was sure to confirm what kinds of wine we liked, what kind of places we were into (large scale winery grounds vs more intimate tasting rooms), proximity of wineries to each other so that we didn't spend our whole time traveling from one to another, and could maximize our actual tasting time. Her input and suggestions were invaluable and truly made a difference in our trip. If you're new to the area, or just stopping through... just stop in to see what you COULD be missing. My wife and I learned that there are numerous events here throughout the year, and you may unknowingly miss out. SO happy we stopped in. Thanks again, Nicole!!

I am surprised there isn't more reviews for the Google Visitor Experience on here. It is a great…read moreplace to take friends, family and visitors to see a slice of Silicon Valley. Technically, you cannot go into the offices but you can check out the Google store, gift shop, cafe, big art plaza, and workshops. There is free parking at the garage nearby which is a piece of art itself. You can either take the shuttle which arrives every 15 minutes or walk about 7-10 minutes to the Google canopy. Once you arrive, you'll see the different parts that you can explore. My favorite 2 things to do there is the cafe which has so many inexpensive food and drink options and also the big artwork along the plaza. Even on crowded days, the big artwork is easy to check out and take pictures. I love the big white orb which is a massive twisted, metal sculpture that looks futuristic and very cool inside and outside. The bear is cute also because it is made completely out of pennies! You won't be disappointed by the big, fun, whimsical and spectacular big art at Google. It's like a free outdoor museum. My other favorite part of the experience is the cafe. Ordering is simple and the menu changes often. The cafe uses ingredients from a lot of local farms and bakeries. It keeps the menu quite cheap as most items are under $15 and even under $10! That is unheard of nowadays. Try the potato soup and you'll thank me. It is creamy, addictive and do yourself a favor and get the big bowl. The sandwiches are top notch and they use Acme bread which is already an awesome treat. After the art, the store, the cafe; you can easily take a hike to Shoreline and check out the amazing views from the top of the hill as well. So check out the Google Visitor Experience and it has much more to offer than other Silicon Valley experiences.

At Alta Garage there's a shuttle that runs from 10am to 7pm 7 days a week that takes you to the Visitor Center every 15 minutes.The parking and shuttle are also free. There's podium with greeters in green that can give a run a down on the visitor experience and they also have QR codes that gives you all the information you need as well about the Visitor experience. The Google store is cool with branded swag to the right and all the devices to the left of the store. The Cafe has really great food and they are locally sourced from local farms. Then theres the pop up shop that sells products from local businesses inside of the Huddle which is one of coolest places. It's a mixture of a library slash Dave n busters with all the games, board games that's there. The patio area outside is spacious and has tons of umbrellas which you can relax and enjoy a meal. Last but not least all burning man art pieces they have on campus that are exclusive to Google are really cool. If you have family or friends visiting from out of town take them to the Visitor Experience and spend the whole day here.
