San Jose Vacations, Tourism & Travel Information

Our Take on San Jose, California

Visiting the third largest city in California might prove to be a very busy trip indeed. Known as the capitol of the Silicon Valley, San Jose has a constantly updated things to do list available at all times.

For families that love history, the Winchester Mystery House is a very popular attraction. A Victorian Mansion with 160 rooms, it dons many unique features that are a sight to see.  Few places in America will showcase staircases that lead to nowhere, or trap doors that open into 10 more doors.

A dose of educational fun is always welcomed in San Jose.  Maybe a play or the symphony, or The Children’s Discovery Museum will be what you choose. If you are up for a theme park adventure, Great America is close by. It’s certainly a family friendly vacation spot, and your kids will love screaming through the award-winning rides. 

When you get hungry, you’ll have many choices.  Known for fantastically authentic Chinese food, San Jose can satisfy the pickiest eater, ranging from specialized Taiwanese food to fusion treats.
