I read Dave's review and can't put it better myself. I went there with 2 teenagers and we did indeed spend a very interesting 3 hours plus the Imax. The best part about the museum is that, like most of downtown San Jose, it is really not that busy and with minimal waits, you can get to experience everything. If... More

The Tech is a great hands-on museum for kids and adults alike. Hours of fun and a great gift shop full of high-tech cool stuff.

It's mainly for adults only, as there Is... More
