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.
This is what you are looking for 🙂 Be careful and stay safe. Keep us posted.

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.
