The appropriately named Tech Museum of San Jose is all about illustrating how technology affects and improves our lives. Permanent galleries include Exploration, Life Tech, Innovation, Imagination Playground, Net Pl@net, and the National Medal of Technology. The museum also features traveling exhibits. Most exhibits provide hands on experiences for visitors both young and old but are particularly fun and educational for children and teens.
