Silicon Valley

Our first stop on this whirlwind trip will be to 1 Hacker Way, home to the tech giant, Facebook. You’ll be sure to get a lot of ‘likes’ from putting your thumbs up and snapping a pic in front of the Facebook sign! While we can’t disrupt the employees, you’ll get to see where all the magic happens from the outside. Who knows, maybe Mark Zuckerberg will pass by!

Google Android Lawn Statues

Next we’ll explore Googleplex, the technological playground which makes up the Google Campus. From a volleyball court, life-sized chess, on-site haircuts and food options galore, you might find yourself getting envious of these ‘Googlers’ (as employees are affectionately known). The expansive Googleplex is also home to the Android Statue Garden. Each colorful candy sculpture looks good enough to eat and represents an Android operating system. Play around on the fun sculptures before checking out the Google Merch Store. Unfortunately closed on Saturdays, for tours running Wednesday, Thursday & Friday you’ll be able to take home some colorful Google swag.
