The Midpeninsula may be better known to the broader world for its startups, tech campuses and Stanford University, but over the years, its diverse geography, eclectic architecture, panoramic views and colorful gardens also have served as the backdrop for many movies. From thrillers and dramas to comedies and Sci-fi fantasies, more than 30 Hollywood films – including “The Wedding Planner,” “Bicentennial Man,” “Mrs. Doubtfire” – have been filmed along the Peninsula in San Mateo, Woodside, Redwood City, Menlo Park and East Palo Alto alone. Palo Alto, Mountain View, Los Altos and Los Altos Hills all have had screen time, too. While some film locations are private and closed to the public, there are several museums, hotels, gardens, churches, storefronts and shopping centers that are open to the public. We’ve put together a list of filming locations from San Mateo to Mountain View to explore.
