At dusk you can find lots of Asian seniors here. It's quiet and a great place for kids.
Delicious! It's make your own Mongolian BBQ. Make sure to add pineapple, and grab some of the complimentary egg rolls.
This farm is a huge hit with kids, because there are pigs, cows, chickens, cats, lambs in the spring, bunnies, and summer camps. There's even an eco-garden where they recycle waste into compost.
Best place to walk around and pretend you can afford everything when actually all you actually came to do is people-watch and eat food.
Downtown Mountain View has great Asian and ethnic food, and has a Farmer's Market every Sunday! Parking is nonexistent during peak hours, so park in one of the parking buildings in the side streets.
Fort Nunez Gaona marks the site of the first European settlement, a Spanish trading fort, in 1792. It also stands as a memorial for the nearly 300 Neah Bay veterans who served in the US military.
I took piano lessons for years with Nina Shektman. They offer student music recitals and art camps for kids. What's interesting is that they go by the ABRSM music exam rather than the American exam.
This place is what inspired the color "Filoli Green." The gardens and architecture of the estate are absolutely beautiful year-round, and the gift shop is very interesting to look at.
Buy the permit to go to the Cape Flattery Trail here. It has very interesting rustic decor in the store, and has a small deli. They also have a very clean public restroom and shower facility.
Been going here since I was a kid and still love it! The only outdoor skating rink in the area. Admission is $10 and skates rental is $4. The Zamboni machine + snow blow are always highlights!
It's so peaceful here and it's a great place to relax with nature. It's located right next to Shibuya station and neighborhood. Write a wish to the temple with an optional donation.
My favorite farmers market! Come here on a Sunday morning to enjoy fresh produce and support local farmers. Parking is a struggle, so just park in one of the residential neighborhoods nearby and walk.
My favorite sushi restaurant in the Bay Area. Great rolls, bento boxes, sashimi, and service. Be prepared to wait for at least 20 minutes during peak hours around 6-7 PM.
Cool off at the pool next to the park or bring your family to have a great time. There's a skate park, and check out the Rengstorff Community Center for fun events around Mountain View!
Like everything else in Japan, this station is clean and efficient. You can store luggage in lockers.
Books galore. After you check out a book, go to the park behind the library and enjoy the day. Support them by buying from the Friends of the Mountain View Library Book Sale every month!
Nice for a short break from driving up to Oregon. You'll pass by Moodonna and The Rusty Dragon if you're driving north.
Also known as "Moodonna" or "mutant cow" on Foursquare. Drive north 2 miles and reach The Rusty Dragon sculpture.
You can pay $19 to go to the top, or you can buy $25 min worth of food at the restaurant for entrance into the sky deck. Don't forget to check out the EMP Museum and Chihuly Gardens & Glass nearby!
