About the area

Palo Alto

El PRADO is located in University South, a neighborhood in Palo Alto, and is in the entertainment district and near the airport. Palo Alto Junior Museum and Zoo and San Andreas Fault Trail are worth checking out if an activity is on the agenda, while those wishing to experience the area's natural beauty can explore San Francisco Bay and Baylands Nature Preserve. Check out an event or a game at Levi's Stadium, and consider making time for California's Great America, a top attraction not to be missed. Practice your golf swing with lessons and a golf course nearby, or enjoy other activities in the great outdoors, such as hiking/biking trails.
