Best Things To Do in San Jose
Whether you've come for business or not, you'll find a lot to do in your spare time. San Jose hosts a bunch of attractions that don't take too long to enjoy: Burn an hour or two downtown at the San Jose Museum of Art and the Children's Discovery Museum. And if you (and your kids) are itching for a hands-on way to learn about Silicon Valley's computer industry, check out the Tech Museum of Innovation. For a whole day of family fun, head to California's Great America amusement park in nearby Santa Clara. To blow off some steam or eat a good meal, make your way to Santana Row.
