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. ## Similar picks in San Jose - [Intel Museum Interactive Tech Labs & Family Microprocessor Exhibits](https://grassyknees.com/san-jose/activities/intel-museum-interactive-tech-labs-and-family-microprocessor-exhibits--listing-5d5b6594ee5e828f086145d6) — Open on its own schedule · Intel Museum, Santa Clara · Ages 4–99 · Free · checked Nov 5.
