Google Celebrates Take Your Child to Work Day

It’s no secret that working for Google can sometimes make you feel like a kid. Between the ping pong and foosball tables, video games, and even nap rooms, Googlers get the chance to let their inner child loose at the office pretty often. That’s probably why Google HQ in Mountain View, California, is so often rated as a Best Ever:

But today, on National Take Your Child to Work Day, Google offices across the country opened their doors to our employees’ kids with a slew of exciting activities.

At Google Austin, the future Googlers got to participate in face painting, taking pictures in our office photobooth, and even building their own lava lamps!

Lunch was also a hit, as both adults and kids loved the healthy menu of childhood favorites like baked chicken strips, roasted carrots, and organic mac and cheese. Of course, it’s no fun to be healthy all the time, so lots of folks also visited the do-it-yourself caramel apple bar.
