We had a fabulous time at the Tech. Great hands on learning for the entire family. My children are almost 5 and almost 7 and both loved the museum. We will go again. more

My 15 yo DD and I visited this museum. We were staying at the Fairmont across the street and had received a 2 for 1 coupon for the museum. I thought the price was very reasonable - $10/pp which also included an imax show. They were out of maps and told me that they had been for a couple weeks.... more

What a great place to visit. Hands on experiments, a lot of info, and fun! Very much like the Exploratorium in SF, but better. Bring your Purel hand sanitizer though. Lot's of kids = lots of germs. more

My wife and I went to the tech on a Thursday. It was CROWDED with kids. I mean, everywhere. We did not enjoy ourselves much. Most of the exhibits were too crowded with out-of-control kids. When it finally was our turn at an exhibit, it was nearly impossible to concentrate and enjoy it with the screaming, loud, highly kenetic, and... more

The museum was interesting and would be fit for younger children. There are a lot of interactive stations that young children can participate in. I would not recommend this for older people looking for an informational exhibit museum. more

The Tech Museum in downtown San Jose is a good spot to go if you enjoy science, bioscience, and/or computers. The Tech Museum of Innovation is a hands-on technology and science museum for people of all ages and backgrounds. It has lots of fun things to try your hand at....and is quite interactive. It also has a good exhibit on... more

Purtroppo non ha mantenuto le attese: pieno di bambini che scorazzano allegramente in giro, è più una carrellata sulle invenzioni... more
