Overview

Like the nearby Tech Interactive, the Children's Discovery Museum of San Jose offers hands-on experiences for kids along with some interesting displays for adults. Recent visitors have highlighted several favorite exhibits, with the WaterWays – a large network of water-filled tubes through which colorful balls travel – standing out the most. Parents appreciate the sections designed for specific age groups, such as the Wonder Cabinet, which caters to children aged 4 and younger and encourages exploration in a secure environment, like an art studio. The museum is equipped with water bottle stations and vending machines, and visitors are also welcome to bring their own snacks.
