Planning a trip to Woodside can be a fun and accessible adventure for friends and family alike. One of the most bucolic and physically beautiful places in the country, many northern Californians are amazed that is only a 30-45 minute drive from San Francisco, or a 30-minute drive from San Jose. Yet Woodside is a magical place that is timeless in its natural beauty, unspoiled environment and unique, pioneer culture. And then there are those marvelous, romantic estates behind iron gates!
When you visit Huddart or Wunderlich Parks, your day can also include a stop at many of Woodside’s attractions:

This landmark “down-home” restaurant, also located on Woodside Road, is a carefully preserved establishment that has been a working restaurant since the logging days of Woodside.

Alice's Restaurant
Unique, casual and very family friendly, this is a wonderful wayside spot located on Skyline Blvd. in the redwoods above Woodside. Alice's menu has something for everyone, but they are famous for their extensive burger selection named for different motorcycles. A great place to relax and eat while sitting at picnic tables on the sunny deck.

The Woodside Store
This carefully restored general store dates back to the lumber industry in Woodside. As the lumbermen brought the felled redwoods down from the Santa Cruz Mountains, this “Tripp” store was their rest-stop for groceries, blacksmith services, and even dentist care! The County of San Mateo had the foresight to preserve this important piece of Woodside history. Remember to call for details on opening hours.
