Best of all, admission and parking are completely free of charge. The museum breaks down complex engineering concepts into playful, tangible experiences that ignite kids' curiosity about how computer chips power everyday devices from gaming consoles to cars. Children can put their hands into glove boxes, view magnified silicon wafers etched with millions of tiny transistors under powerful digital microscopes, and see authentic sparkling silicon ingots. Kids love trying on oversized lint-free 'bunny suits' worn by technicians inside ultra-clean fabrication labs, testing how binary code works by writing their names in zeroes and ones, and watching robotic arms sort miniature circuit packages. The museum store also features fun science kits, tech gadgets, and educational souvenirs. Family Experience & Accessibility: • Stroller Accessibility: Wide, carpeted, single-story ground-floor layout with wide doorways, level entry from the parking structure, and zero stairs; perfectly stroller accessible throughout. • Nursing & Rest Spots: Seating benches located within the museum galleries and the spacious corporate lobby; modern, clean restrooms with baby changing amenities located right next to the entrance. • Age Suitability: Highly recommended for kids ages 5 to 14, curious teens, and parents interested in Silicon Valley innovation; toddlers will enjoy the hands-on buttons, lights, and dress-up bunny suits. • Sensory Tips: Well-lit, calm, indoor museum space with moderate sound levels and engaging interactive touch screens; rarely crowded, making it a peaceful, stress-free educational outing. ## Similar picks in San Jose - [Computer History Museum Family Tech Discovery Days & Coding Labs](https://grassyknees.com/san-jose/activities/computer-history-museum-family-tech-discovery-days-and-coding-labs--listing-0336f6c99300953dda557952) — Open on its own schedule · Computer History Museum, Mountain View · All ages · From $19 · checked Nov 5.
