I remember going to the Valley in 2002 and expecting tours of all the famous companies etc... I made the "pilgrimage" to Apple headquarters, expecting some sort of museum or something. Security basically escorted me out of the lobby. Intel does have a little thing you can view at least.
For the most part Silicon Valley is very uninteresting to just visit unless you like seeing corporate office parks from the outside.
- juiceandjuice 16y agoStanford and SLAC are a bit more accommodating, and there's the Computer museum. Other than that, you're right.
- frisco 16y agoThat's kind of part of it though. It's a living, working institution. The best work is going on now. It's not a museum that people come and visit for historical purposes. Normally when something becomes a tourist attraction it's well past being a living entity. Intel and Apple are historic, but they're also well still alive. That's part of the energy of Silicon Valley.
