The Google Android Statues Square is a whimsical and colorful attraction located in the heart of Silicon Valley, Mountain View, California. This unique square features a collection of large statues representing the various versions of Google's Android operating system, each named after a sweet treat. From Cupcake to KitKat (though the physical statue tradition ended with Android 10), these statues offer a playful and engaging look into the history of the world's most popular mobile operating system. Originally located in front of Building 44, where the Android development team had its offices, the statues were later moved to their current location near the Google Visitor Center. Each statue is a vibrant, larger-than-life representation of the dessert it's named after, providing a perfect photo opportunity for tech enthusiasts, families, and anyone looking for a fun and quirky experience. While the statues were temporarily removed in early 2022 for relocation and repair, the tradition lives on with virtual 3D models for newer Android versions. Despite some visitor feedback regarding maintenance, the square remains a popular spot to explore the intersection of technology and art within Google's innovative environment.
