Allied Arts Guild is home to 16 unique shops and artists studios, located among beautiful gardens. Built in the 1920s and recently renovated, it occupies 16 acres on the creek separating Menlo Park from Palo Alto. It's a veritable Enchanted April to walk through the lovely gardens. And there's a restaurant staffed by volunteers from the Lucille Packard Children's Medical Center, which it benefits.
