Hi guys, I’m with my family (2 kids-7,13) on our once-in-lifetime trip to SF and Silicon Valley just now till next Friday. Is there any good-soul Apple/Google/Pixar employee to take us as visitors for short trip inside? We are well-behaved and quiet thank you David

Sorry to break it to you, but first of all, there’s no apple employees on MR, they’re not allowed to be on here. Second, I highly doubt that you will be able to gain access to corporate campuses besides vistor centers, I at least know that Apple Park has one.

I know I’m naive. Just trying… It would be great to take kids inside Pixar. We are going to enjoy our stay anyway-today Muir woods, tomorrow GoldenGate bridge, in next days: apple hq and infinity loop, hp and steve’s garages, googleplex and photo in front of Meta sign, Tesla showroom (we are from Europe Stay hungry, stay foolish

Have fun! Even without being able to go in, I’m sure this will be an enjoyable vacation!

Good morning @thera/David,

I was just there over a month ago. I had a blast. Visited all the places you mentioned. I was so inspired by everything. It was one heck of a trip. Busy life over there. I did post pictures of my trip on here. It's worth checking out Enjoy and have a safe trip.

Looks like a great vacation! Y’know, except for getting stalked by security guards and others

Thanks! Yeah, they were not playing games at all. I felt like I was being monitored and watched the whole time and I wasn’t doing anything. Just looking, that’s all.

Picture of my face and the rental vehicle was taken multiple times, I was also being followed before taking off to the freeway and disappearing. I wanted to take the shots at night, came back 3 hours later and they looked at me funny and said, “You are still here” I told them I’m lost. They said we will open this gate for you again and just exit away… right when I was exiting another security guard saw my face and car again and blocked the gate on me manually ...saw him through a side-view mirror, his fingers were signaling roll back and put your car in reverse. It scared the crap out of me. Especially being alone and being a tourist… rolled my windows down and he told me… “Are you ok”? “Why are you here”? I told him, Sir, I’m lost… he didn’t believe me… he replied: “You don’t belong here”, “must leave”… thankfully he finally opened the main gate with his iPhone and I ended up leaving.

You are definitely being monitored and watched at all times. Some will say you can take close-up pictures and some of them will say NO, that's not allowed. The energy is insane over there. It definitely feels secretive, mysterious, and iffy. Especially at night, it looks fascinating.

I was definitely embarrassed. Thank god, I was alone and didn't have anyone with me.
