Über First Funding of Google

Tips for your visit

Plan on a short stop of about 10 to 15 minutes, and pair it with a longer stroll through the surrounding Palo Alto streets.
Expect an ordinary street rather than a big attraction, so go for the story and the neighbourhood atmosphere.
Treat the area with respect, as the streets nearby are likely to be lived in. Keep noise low and stay on public ground.
Daylight is best for walking and photos. Downtown Palo Alto and the Stanford campus are close enough to add to the same outing.

Explore it on a quest

The best way to get a feel for this part of Palo Alto is on foot, following a route that links several places instead of a single stop. Questo's self-guided quests tell you about each place as you reach it and set a puzzle in what is in front of you, with no guide and no group to join. Browse the quests in Palo Alto and start whenever suits you.
