About this adventure

The Intel Museum, located at Intel's global headquarters in Santa Clara, offers a free venue for children to learn about how computer chips operate. Families can explore 10,000 square feet of interactive tech exhibits. Children can wear mini cleanroom suits, observe real silicon wafers under a microscope, learn about binary coding and transistor switching principles through large touchscreens, and operate mechanical devices in the hands-on robotics area. The museum has marble floors without thresholds, allowing strollers to move freely, and many interactive displays are at accessible and child-friendly heights. High-standard accessible restrooms and a separate nursing room are available. This experience is suitable for school-aged children aged 5 to 15 and families interested in technology. Admission and ground parking are free. A "Junior Chip Engineer Exploration Handbook" is available at the entrance.
