Kid-friendly places in Woodside

Quirky Silicon Valley institution: buckwheat pancakes and diner classics amid VC memorabilia. Zero pretension, very forgiving of kids.

Woodside's only town park: a playground next to the Little League and soccer fields, across Farm Hill Boulevard from Cañada College.

A 654-acre estate with formal gardens, a historic mansion, and a mile-long California Trail, with seasonal family days and nature programming. Entry is by timed ticket.

The Woodside branch of San Mateo County Libraries, with family storytime and a Baby Bounce storytime for babies.
