Palo Alto Audio Tour: Stanford Stories & Gardens of Santa Clara

Audio guide13 stops

A golden mosaic glows inside Stanford Memorial Church while centuries-old cacti twist silently outside, hinting at legends beneath Santa Clara County’s storied surface. Unlock a self-guided audio adventure across campus secrets, hidden art, and botanical marvels. Step off the beaten track and uncover stories even seasoned locals often overlook. Why did campus protests nearly shut down sacred spaces in the 1970s? What buried mystery lingers in Rodin’s haunting sculptures at the Cantor Arts Center? Who smuggled a forbidden rare cactus here and why does its shadow matter today? Trace rebellious footsteps through sculpted halls and sunlit gardens. Move from echoes of whispered scandal to moments of quiet wonder. Each step reveals a chapter of drama and resilience etched into the city’s vibrant heart. If you’re ready to seek the hidden spark beneath Stanford’s polished surface, start the journey now. The stories are waiting.
