Lobitos Creek Ranch
Distance from Palo Alto - 52 minute drive / 23 miles
Lobitos Creek Ranch is a 70 acre ranch that is home to a film production studio and also used as a retreat and event center. This secluded ridge-top getaway is 1 hour from SF, 45 min from Palo Alto, and 1 hour from SFO. This private ranch boarders 100s of acres of natural land and is a short distance from the Pursima Creek Redwood Open Space Preserve. This location is home to a 1,000+ year old redwood tree and sits at 1,000ft elevation which gives it breathtaking panoramic views. You could spend a day exploring this property alone but you are also a 10 minute shuttle ride down to beautiful Martins Beach. The property has two houses on the property, endless hiking trails, fire pits, outdoor cooking areas, and open lawns for activities and dining.

Fort Battle! (Full Team Activity) Beginning with the challenge for each team to build the tallest and most stable fort. For the battle portion, teams have territories, if hit will be put in jail (similar to capture-the-flag), can get teammates out of jail, and chaos will ensue for about 2 minutes per round. The team with the tallest fort at the end wins. The perfect mix of team-building and fun, and ideal to loosen a group up at the beginning of an event! 30 min to 1.5 hours
