Sunol Visitor Center

Great for kids learning experience. You can also ask rangers there about the flowers and superbloom

Very well maintained visitor's center, friendly rangers, and most importantly relatively clean bathrooms! The trails are well maintained and the views are beautiful.

Fantastic experience. Don't let the youthfulness of the staff fool you: they are knowledgeable. Along with that they are also friendly and helpful. Worth a quick trip indoors to coordinate your visit with staff plus enjoy the wildlife displays around the place. A wonderful and welcome and encouraged first stop.

Helpful staff knowledgeable about trails and animals, informative exhibits of reptiles. Animal sightings board especially interesting. They highlighted the trail we wanted on our map for us, helped us look up what animals we might have heard, and told us enlightening knowledge about the animals' habits.

This is one of those hidden gems that are almost too good to be true. First of all, the road from the Bay Area is fantastic, twisty narrow in a canyon, it looks hundreds of miles away from that bedlam that is the Bay Area. Once you get there, some old style architecture for the visitor buildings, exhibits, samples of wildlife, and so on. They have a rich calendar of events with activities for children but interesting also for adults. Very competent personnel.
