Plan Your Visit

Muir Woods is open 365 days a year, and no reservations are required to visit.

Muir Woods is very popular and parking is extremely limited. Take the Muir Woods Shuttle (seasonal), carpool, arrive early (between 8-9am) or late (one to two hours prior to closing) and read our other suggestions for making your visit to this peaceful forest a peaceful visit.

Please note: If you plan to take a ridesharing or taxi service, schedule your return transportation BEFORE you arrive at the park. There is NO cell service or WiFi at Muir Woods. Arranging a ride by pay phone on-site is very costly and may take several hours.
