Santa Clara Vacations, Tourism & Travel Information

Our Take on Santa Clara, California


Santa Clara, which combines history and modernity, is a great place for a family friendly vacation.  Adventure seekers can enjoy a theme park experience at Great America, while mystery lovers can check out the Winchester Mystery House, a Victorian style mansion with 160 rooms, 3 working elevators, and 47 fireplaces – which all contain many unexplained mysteries.

Travelers looking for family friendly activities will enjoy the nearby Children’s Discovery Museum or Raging Waters, a water park full of rides and slides. Shoppers will find joy at the Westfield Shoppingtown Valley Fair, which has specialty shops and a huge food court featuring treats from around the world.   

If you are looking for convenience, we recommend staying near Santana Row, home of the Valencia Hotel, 20 fabulous restaurants, multiple spas, and for those who just can’t make a decision, there is even a concierge service to help you choose the best activities.
