Its World War One exhibit, extended to January 9, 2027, includes a full walk-through trench, rare WWI vehicles and a biplane. Because the museum is on a federal airfield, every adult (18+) must show photo ID at the gate, and U.S. visitors need a REAL ID-compliant license or ID. The south gate at Ellis Street and US 101 is closed on Saturdays. Some map apps list the museum as 500 or 126 Severyns Ave.; look for the address signs across from the orange-and-white checkered water tower. ## Similar picks in San Jose - [Gatorbotics Robot Demonstration at Children's Discovery Museum](https://grassyknees.com/san-jose/activities/gatorbotics-robot-demonstration-at-children-s-discovery-museum--listing-c93b4881c959087460cb5905) — Sun, Oct 25 · 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM · Children's Discovery Museum of San Jose · Paid · checked Oct 24.
