The Muir Woods shuttle opens on April 5, 2026, and it’s the perfect weekend getaway for Bay Area families. Taking the shuttle is easy, affordable, and it makes for an unforgettable adventure. My daughters and I visited Muir Woods on a warm October day last year. We woke up early and headed down to the Ferry Building, where we snagged a block of delicious cheese from the Farmer’s Market before boarding the ferry to Larkspur.
