Muir Woods Parking Guide

Yes, there is Muir Woods park. However, the Muir Woods parking lot is not that big, and parking is minimal.

To park you need a Muir Woods parking reservation, which you are required to make online before you get to the monument. There are no parking permits sold onsite, and there is no cell reception or WiFi, which will stop you from making a last minute reservation on your phone. Muir Woods parking will cost you $8.50 per vehicle.

One other thing that is important to know about the Muir Woods parking reservation is that having an online parking reservation doesn’t mean there will be a spot waiting for you once you get to the Muir Woods parking lot. It only means that you are allowed to park, once a parking space becomes available. There is a good chance that you will have to drive around the parking lot for a while. Muir Woods parking isn’t the easiest, which is one of the biggest reasons why we created so many tours that visit Muir Woods, like our Bike the Bridge & Shuttle to Muir Woods. Instead of you worrying about driving the winding road up the mountain or having to deal with booking and finding parking, you can enjoy a stress-free tour. You bike across the Golden Gate Bridge to Sausalito and then hop on our private shuttle and let us take you up the mountain to Muir Woods.

Muir Woods FAQ’s

What days is Muir Woods closed?

Muir Woods is open 365 days a year. It is open for every holiday and weekend, so you can explore the forest whenever you decide to visit San Francisco and the Bay Area.

Muir woods opens at 8 am every day of the year and it closes around sunset. Depending on the season, closing time is between 5 pm – 8 pm. Below is a guide to closing times, click here for exact dates.

November – February 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
February – April 8:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.
April – May 8:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m.
May – August 8:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m.
August – September 8:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m.
September – October 8:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.
November – December 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.

What is the Muir Woods entrance fee?

Muir Woods admission varies in price for different ages. Kids who are 15 and under are free, and the Muir Woods cost for anyone 16 and older is $15. Don’t let grabbing your Muir Woods tickets be another thing you have to worry about. If you book one of Dylan’s Muir Woods tours, the Muir Woods transport and parking fee is taken care of for you, although you still have to pay for your entrance to the park itself.

When is Muir Woods free?

Guess what? There are five days in 2019 when Muir Woods tickets are free! The monument will probably be busy on these days, but if you are in the Bay Area on any of the below dates, why not explore the beautiful forest for free?

2022 Free Days:
January 17 – Birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr.
April 16 – First Day of National Park Week/National Junior Ranger Day
August 4 – One year anniversary of the Great American Outdoors Act
August 25 – National Park Service Birthday
September 24 – National Public Lands Day
November 11 – Veterans Day

Is there food and drinks at Muir Woods?

Yes, you can grab a bite to eat at the Muir Woods Cafe. In fact, the Muir Woods Cafe might have the very best food out of all the National Monuments! Almost everything at the cafe is sourced from local farms and bakeries. If your Muir Woods tour gets here early in the morning, you can enjoy coffee, tea, and some fantastic pastries. Their full lunch menu begins at 11 am, and you can enjoy park favorites like their Marin Melt. Please note that National Monuments don’t offer plastic straws or lids because of the impact it has on the park.

Is there a gift shop at Muir Woods?

One of the only materialistic Muir Woods attractions is its famous gift shop. You can find many products made from redwoods that make perfect souvenirs. It’s worth taking a walk around the Muir Woods gift shop before you leave the area.
Pro tip: the best budget souvenirs are pencils and postcards.

Where are the restrooms at Muir Woods?

There are two sets of restrooms at Muir Woods. The largest set of restrooms are in the parking lot.
If there is a line or they are closed for cleaning, you’ll want to head into the park for the other Muir Woods restrooms. About five minutes into Muir Woods, just off the main wooden boardwalk, you’ll find the cafe, gift shop, and additional restrooms.

Can you bring dogs to Muir Woods?

No, you cannot bring dogs to Muir Woods.
Muir Woods has strict policies when it comes to pets being brought into the park. Only service animals are permitted inside any National Monument. Pets and emotional support animals are not allowed inside of Muir Woods.

Is there a redwood you can drive through in Muir Woods?

This one surprises a lot of travelers, but no there is not a redwood that you can drive through at Muir Woods. The closest drive-thru redwood is a four-hour drive from Muir Woods. However, we guarantee you will still have a fantastic experience admiring the redwoods at Muir Woods.

How do you get to Muir Woods from San Francisco?

Muir Woods is just north of San Francisco on the Pacific Coast Highway. There are few different ways of getting to Muir Woods from SF. Check out this blog post for the Best (and Worst) Ways of Getting to Muir Woods from San Francisco.

How do you get to Muir Woods from Sausalito?

Sausalito sits in the shadow of Mount Tamalpais, where you’ll find Muir Woods nestled into the valley of the mountain. Since the redwood forest is about 30 minutes away, lunch in Sausalito and dessert in Sausalito is the perfect way to end a Muir Woods adventure.

To get to Muir Woods from Sausalito, you can take the Muir Woods public shuttle. Parking at Muir Woods is limited and requires advanced reservations. So you’ll want to make reservations for the public Muir Woods shuttle to be sure you get a ticket.

Can you bike to Muir Woods?

Technically, yes, you can bike to Muir Woods, but it isn’t suggested.

The peak of Mount Tamalpais is over 2,500 feet. In California, cyclists can legally share any road that a car can drive on, but the road to Muir Woods is winding and has no bike lane. If that wasn’t bad enough, it is filled with A LOT of tour buses, shuttles buses, and out-of-town drivers.

While you can bike all the way to Muir Woods, we can’t in good conscience recommend it.

If biking is what you want to do, you can always take our Bike the Bridge and Shuttle to Muir Woods tour. Hop on one of our rental bikes to bike across the Golden Gate Bridge to Sausalito and then catch our private shuttle to Muir Woods on our newest combination bike and minibus San Francisco Muir Woods tour. It’s the best of both worlds!

Pick up some wheels and join us on our Bike the Bridge and Shuttle to Muir Woods Tour Today! Learn More About our Muir Woods Biking Tour

Can you rideshare to Muir Woods?

Again, technically yes you can, but this is only a slightly better way to get to Muir Woods than biking there. Your driver will lose reception once they begin driving up the mountain, and if they aren’t familiar with the mountain roads, they could easily get confused.

Also, without cell reception at Muir Woods, you wouldn’t be able to order a rideshare back to San Francisco.

This is another reason why we always suggest taking a Muir Woods tour. On a tour, you can sit back and enjoy your Muir Woods drive.

Is there cell phone service at Muir Woods?

No, there is no cell service at Muir Woods. If you have a few quarters, you can step back in time and use their payphone.

Is there WiFi at Muir Woods?

No, there is no cell service or WiFi at Muir Woods. You can enjoy a refreshing digital detox.

Is there a Muir Woods shuttle?

Yes, there is a public shuttle to Muir Woods that runs every weekend and holiday of the year. You will need to buy your tickets in advance at GoMuirWoods.com.

The reservation system was rolled out in January 2018 and making reservations as far in advance as possible is strongly suggested. Here’s what to do if the Muir Woods shuttle is sold out.

How much is the Muir Woods shuttle?

Kids under 16 are free to ride the shuttle round trip, anyone older than 16 will need to pay $3.50.

How do you take the Muir Woods shuttle?

Taking the Muir Woods Shuttle is relatively easy. You have to go online and make your reservation for which stop and time you want to get picked up at. Then you show up to that stop before your selected time.

The most popular stop to get to Muir Woods is the Sausalito Ferry stop, which means this is the most crowded stop. Beat the crowds by reserving your tickets at the Pohono stop. A cab or rideshare to there will be worth it.

If you find tickets are all sold out, be sure to check out our blog on What to do if the Muir Woods Shuttle is Full.

Are there private Muir Woods shuttles?

Yes, there are private Muir Woods shuttles, and we run one of them. One of our newest tours includes a bike rental to cruise across the Golden Gate Bridge where you will meet our private Muir Woods Shuttle.

There’s another company that uses unmarked black buses for their Muir Woods shuttle.

Are there San Francisco Muir Woods Tours?

Yes, and we have two of the best ones.

Our most popular is a seven-hour minibus tour through San Francisco, Sausalito, and Muir Woods. It’s called Dylan’s Famous Tour and stops for lunch in Sausalito, and stops at Muir Woods for over an hour. (Sausalito stop available on the 8:00 AM departure only.)

For the more adventurous, we also have a combination bike and minibus tour. On our Bike the Bridge & Shuttle to Muir Woods Tour you enjoy a solo ride along San Francisco’s waterfront and across the Golden Gate Bridge to Sausalito where you’ll meet our private Muir Woods shuttle and spend over an hour exploring the redwoods before returning by bus to San Francisco.

How long does it take to visit Muir Woods?

We get a lot of people asking “how long does it take to see Muir Woods,” or “how much time to spend at Muir Woods?”

How long to spend in Muir Woods really depends on how long you want to be there. Muir Woods is a lot smaller than people realize, and the most popular hiking trail in Muir Woods only takes about an hour to complete.

On all of our tours, we spend a little over an hour exploring Muir Woods, as we feel this is enough time for tourists to experience the wonder of the park.

How long does it take to walk through Muir Woods?

You can hike through Muir Woods in about an hour. Check out our blog post The Three Best Trails for Anyone on a Muir Woods Tour, for a few trail options for your trip to Muir Woods.

Is there lodging near Muir Woods?

While there are no official “Muir Woods hotels,” you can find some nice hotels close by, in Sausalito and San Francisco.

Our Famous and Muir Woods Tour is a fun and stress-free way to see this national monument, and much more!

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour. Trevor was our guide and he was so friendly and knowledgeable about the city of San Francisco. I loved that it was a very small group on an open air van. Trevor pointed out so many things and shared interesting facts about the city and the different points of interest. It was a wonderful way to get a nice overview of the city. We did the Lombard Leap two hour tour and added the tour of Alcatraz. Both were great! I’d highly recommend a tour with this company!

Our tour with Trevor from Dylan’s Tours was easily the highlight of our San Francisco trip! He made navigating Lombard Street effortless and brought incredible energy showing us around the city. And delivered us to our Alcatraz tour. Best of all, we followed his advice and ordered the cioppino at Sotto Mare in North Beach—pure culinary magic. Trevor is knowledgeable, hilarious, and genuinely attentive. Truly five stars!

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We booked Dylan’s Tours because I was traveling with my elderly grandmother and wanted her to experience all of San Francisco’s major sights without exhausting herself. I’ve traveled to 33 countries, and I can honestly say this was the BEST tour I’ve ever been on! Our guide, Weyland, was born and raised in the Bay Area, and he was absolutely fantastic. He was friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, and incredibly personable. He made the tour fun and entertaining while sharing fascinating history and stories about San Francisco along the way. We saw all of the major highlights and learned so much about the city, all while enjoying a more relaxed and intimate experience. Most importantly, my grandmother was able to see and experience so much of San Francisco without feeling overwhelmed or worn out. I enjoyed the tour so much that I’ve already recommended Dylan’s Tours to my sister, who actually lives in San Francisco! I highly recommend Dylan’s Tours to anyone visiting San Francisco who wants to see the city’s highlights while enjoying a personal, engaging, and intimate tour experience. And if you’re lucky enough to have Weyland as your guide, you’re in for an especially great experience!

Verified Exactly what we wanted! An amazing trip! Exactly what we wanted and Patrick our tour guide was amazing. It’s a short city tour about an hour long, photo stop at Golden Gate Bridge and then onto Muir woods. Beautiful place and 90 minutes was just enough time to do just over an hour of walking (we went to bridge three and back) and then spent some time in the gift shop and cafe. There’s an option to get off in Sausalito on the way back if you want to explore more but we stayed on the shuttle and were taken back to our starting point. Patrick provided lots of great facts, jokes and music along the way. Would highly recommend Dylan’s Tours!

We toured the city of San Francisco with Weyland from Dylan Tours and he was very knowledgeable of the city history and culture. I learned so much in 90 minutes. The ride in the van was very comfortable and the van seated about 7 guests. We also stopped along the way for a restroom break. Book this tour if you want an excellent guide that will provide a safe and enjoyable experience.

Verified A bit of an odd structure to this tour, because it was summer we did the Alcatraz tour first, if you are interested in the prison you’ll enjoy the tour. So, you get sent a QR code which is your ticket to the island, and it is all self guided, so the tour was for 9.20, and then the next part of the tour starts at 2pm which is the city and muir woods trip. So you have to entertain yourself until 2pm basically, the trip to muir woods was nice, Jules was an enjoyable driver providing us with lots of interesting facts about the area. We stopped at the museum of fine are for a photo and then on the north side of the golden gate bridge for a photo, then to muir woods park for a walk around for 1.5 hours, and then another drive around the city before being dropped off. So there isn’t really a guided tour besides maybe the drive through the city, really what you are paying for is the transportation to these places and then you need to pay $15 to enter the park. Good trip, bit overpriced.

Verified It was a good tour but a few things to consider. South saulito we thought were were going to be able to get out and tour around the area so that is not what we got. If we knew it was just driving thru for the price we paid it was not worth the money. We should have paid for Muir Woods and Alcatraz only but guide does not stay with u in Alcatraz. So the money you pay really is just to drive to Muir Woods. So that was disappointed . Will I pay again for this I would say no

I could have used another hour in the woods just to longer and savor the environment but didn't feel rushed - just left wanting more. I loved the photo stops along the way - easiet way to get a great bridge photo! lunch in Sausalito was fun too. great recommendations and good food.

Verified Great deal and value, our guide was knowledgeable of the city and always willing to take photos. Also he was very accommodating to drop us off at the location close to where we were going after the tour, as long as he was passing it. The only thing that was annoying was waiting for people who were late. It tells you to arrive 20-15 mins before the tour but we still had to wait for 2 people and then wait for people again on each stop, not the driver’s fault, just need to be more strict with time cus it’s not fair for many of us.

He was full of interesting information delivered in a fun conversational way. It was a good mix of sightseeing and walking and we saw SO much. I highly recommend this tour company!!!

Our tour guide, Sully, was very informative, funny, and helpful. He made the trip very enjoyable! I highly recommended Dylan’s Tours! Would definitely use them again and try one of the other tours available when we come back!!

Was very smooth from pick up to drop off. We landed in the city very early am and debated cancelling the tour but were glad we didn’t. Patrick kept the ride lively as well. Would recommend to anyone traveling to San Francisco.

He had so much to tell us about San Francisco. We went to so many places and I feel like the tour covered just enough. The bus was clean and we were offered water and a snack upon the start of the tour. Muir Woods was my favorite part of the trip. I think anyone visiting should book one of the bus tours! You won’t regret it!
