Embark on the Palo Alto Audio Tour: Stanford Stories and Landmarks Unveiled

Golden sunlight spills over medieval-style mosaics at Stanford Memorial Church, but beneath these walls lie stories that have shocked, inspired, and even haunted the heart of Silicon Valley.

This self-guided audio tour leads through paths lined by palm trees and timeworn secrets, guiding you to art treasures, scientific marvels, and the surreal bloom of the Arizona Cactus Garden. Find the whispers and scandals missed by passing crowds.

What sacred promise shattered in a single moment here? Which strange artifact inside the Cantor Arts Center hints at a feud between geniuses? And why did high society gather under moonlight among prickly cacti for a party no one ever spoke of again?

Wind through world-changing ideas and hidden drama. Trace intrigue beneath arches and sunlit gardens. See Santa Clara County anew as you unlock mysteries at every turn.

Press play and let the hidden Stanford emerge before your eyes.
