The Tech Interactive - San Jose, California

We had great time here. The whole experience was very enjoyable and fun for both kids and adults. There are many cool exhibitions. My personal favorite was the new exhibit, Dream Garden, where we got to play with the animation with our whole body.

The IMAX dome theater is also a must-visit even though you already get a free one-time admission when purchasing the tickets to the museum. We love the Blue Whale documentary. Very educational and entertaining!

Best tech museum in Silicon Valley for kids.

Probably the most well respected tech museum for kids with a sublime imax done theater which is one of a kind.

Best to go during the week or early on weekends. It can get quite crowded. Parking is easy with plenty of massive parking lots nearby and the museum validates it so parking is almost free.

A nice healthy cafe at the entrance. Plenty of clean toilets. A clean museum for kids with anti bacterial lotions spread throughout and wide clean spaces.

The exhibits are very kid friendly and encourages them to play with it and experiment and engage their curiosity.

The imax theater is to die for. A dome theater that’s massive and gets you deeply into the movie despite lots of excited noisy chatter from kids.

The museum is spread across three floors and the body worlds exhibit is one of the special exhibits that my kids loved. A bit scary for the young ones but very informative and life like.

Pretty awesome spot designed for kids but still kind of interesting for adults. There is a lot of interactive exhibits as the museum name suggests which teach a lot of real world physics and understanding of the world. The giant IMAX Dome theater is awesome for watching any of the educational films. Free street parking was easy to come by on a Sunday.

There was so much to see and experience. Our tour was cut short. We hope to be back to see it all includong the IMAX! Please continue to let our children learn and explore. The space station area was amazing!!

Tech Interactive is an excellent science museum for kids and adults. My 9-year-old son loved it. We only had three hours at the museum and wish we could have spent the whole day. We’ve been to a lot of science museums and this one was the best - so many engaging, hands on activities with staff assigned to each to help and answer questions. Highly recommend.

Great for kiddos 5 and older! Exhibits feel a little dated but there are a few cool hands-on experiments and science demos. The majority of the museum uses digital displays that are more appropriate for older kiddos (exhibits that my 5-yo loved: roller coaster simulator, giant wall-to-wall projection on the effects of human decisions on the environment). There are some large blue blocks to keep younger siblings entertained. Tickets come with a free IMAX screening And there is parking validation available.

Great time here, really good for all ages. Many things for young ones to touch and play with, we particularly enjoyed the ball maze where we could create a maze with plastic tubes and schutes. The bodies exhibit was interesting, no clue of those are real people or not but they were really well put together.

Of note, parking in the area is poorly explained and difficult to get to, staff did not do a good job helping.

The IMAX was good and the shows were interesting, kept my kids engaged, were it not for the IMAX tickets included in the admission I would balk at the price.

There is a lot of interactive experiments as the name suggests. Not as magnificent as SF tech museum
