<\/p>\n

\nIn the heart of the Silicon Valley, just south of San Francisco, where many of the world's most famous electronic must-haves got their start, The Tech Museum of Innovation offers inspiration, education, and fun for tech-savvy families. Their 132,000 square-foot dome is now a San Jose landmark.  With a mission on inspiring the innovator in everyone, this family-friendly museum is a San Francisco area must-visit.<\/p>\n

Throughout the museum, hundreds of exhibits, many custom made, allow you and your children to get hands-on with technology.  Permanent exhibits include “Genetics: Technology with a Twist” (in partnership with the Genetics Department at Stanford University), an Earthquake platform, and a Jet Pack Simulator  (Awesome!)!  Get to the small, little details as you explore at “Microchips: The Heart of the Revolution” or take in a show at The Hackworth IMAX DomeTheater.<\/p>\n

Yearly traveling exhibits make stops at The Tech including past exhibitions like "BODY WORLDS 2," "Star Trek: The Exhibition," "Genghis Kahn," and the energetic "MythBusters: The Explosive Exhibition."<\/p>\n

In addition to great galleries, exhibits, and hands-on fun, your kids have a chance to get into the action at The Tech.  <\/p>\n

Six science and technology labs on site offer daily programs for kids to explore and observe science and technology in action.  Have a budding techy?  The Tech Challenge is an annual competition for children grades 5-12 that allows kids to exercise their creative muscles in a team-building, fast-paced race as they solve real-world, tech related problems.  Summer camps are another great way for kids to spend a large amount of time pondering and exploring technology.<\/p>\n

Before you leave The Tech, be sure to stop in at The Tech Store to find a full lineup of impressive and unique gadgets as well as books to help nurture a technology passion while away from the museum. \n<\/p>\n
