We love our European visitors. Whether they are here for business, pleasure, or both, they are eager to explore California. 
And there certainly are a lot of adventures to experience in Northern California. One of the best spots to stay is in a Palo Alto serviced apartment. Why? Because it allows a family plenty of room to stretch out and provides a terrific “home base” for their short-term stay.
If you travel from Europe to do business or take a holiday in Northern California, The Bay Area peninsula is where you want to be! Not only is Silicon Valley itself a hub of business activity, but it’s very close to world-wide California destinations.
For instance, the beachside city of Santa Cruz is only slightly over one hour away. Walk the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk and let the kids thrill over the rides. After that, the plan may be to drive an extra 40 minutes to Monterey Bay Aquarium. Visitors get up close to Sea Otters, Jellyfish, and sharks. If you’re interested in what to expect, take a look at the Kelp Forest Cam.
Just let us know what you’re planning, and we can share some options. Key Housing wants to ensure your stay is a great one!
If you need to Stay Close to Palo Alto, Fun isn’t Far.
What if the entire family is only available for a few days during the stay? In general, they need to remain close to their Palo Alto serviced apartment. One parents needs to put in the work hours, but it shouldn’t stop the family from enjoying fun Bay Area experiences nearby.
How about an American baseball game? The train ride form is only 37 minutes to Oracle Park where the San Francisco Giants baseball team plays (https://www.mlb.com/giants/tickets/single-game-tickets). The stadium is considered one of the most pitcher-friendly parks in the Major Baseball League. If you have a kid who likes baseball trivia, look at San Francisco Giants Facts for Kids (https://kids.kiddle.co/San_Francisco_Giants). The stadium is beautiful and right next to the famous San Francisco Piers, where there is food, shops, and even sea lions. If, for any reason, one parent has to go to work, this is a memorable day trip for the rest of the family.
Even staying in town can be an adventure. If a European family stays at the Southwood Apartments (https://www.keyhousing.com/corporate-rental-properties/southwood-apartments/), a child-and-pet-friendly Palo Alto serviced apartment location, plenty of fun activities are nearby. For instance, the Palo Alto Junior Museum and Zoo allows kids to run freely and experience the fun exhibits. They can get up close and feed animals like peacocks and a giant African tortoise.
Since Palo Alto is home to Stanford University maybe young adults and their parent would like to walk the world-renowned campus. Here is a link to the Stanford University self-guided tour map.
