  • The Tech Museum of Innovation in San Jose is really a must-see if you're coming to the Bay Area (although I'm putting this tip as an Off the Beaten Path of San Francisco). This museum is great for your kids and yourself. You can experience and learn the newest technologies that have recently been developed, including cool games, robots, communication, etc. There is also an IMAX theater too. Tickets are $9 each (for exhibits, or IMAX individually) or $16 for combo (exhibits and IMAX). See the web site for more information.

    Art / Music / Other Museums: The Intel Museum
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • The Intel Museum, at the Intel headquarters in Santa Clara, offers you an experience of the power of computer chips, how they developed, and an inside look at how processors work. The museum also shows you the several types of processors Intel makes (Pentium, Celeron, Xeon, etc.). The museum is kind of interesting, so if you are into computers, this museum is definitely a must-see -- although the museum is kind of small and requires no more than an hour. The admission to the museum is free.

  • Computer fans, this museum is for you! This museum will show you the evolutionary history of one of our most important tools of today, the computer. This museum stores all the computers in history; they are actual computers that were once running and now are on display. There are guided tours to help you to explore the world of computers. I STRONGLY recommend this museum to anyone who uses a computer, because it is important and interesting to learn about the evolution of the computer. Besides, the admission is free (donations are welcome). See the web site for directions and hours.

    Beaches / Pacific Coast: Drive south to Monterey Bay
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • Consider driving south along California Highway 1 to Monterey. It has beautiful beaches and breathtaking scenery of the ocean. The beauty of nature is definitely the most enjoyable part of this trip. See my Monterey travel page for more information.

     Yan, your description of Chinatown in SF is very accurate! As a working person in SF, I love going to Chinatown at lunch time. The Chinese restaurants there are the best.
