What to do in San Jose?

[Flat Spot]

Hey guys and girls, I have 4 days out there 26th thru 29th. Any suggestions on things to do or see?

Just returned from there...could not get into the Hilton so stayed at a very nice older hotel called the St Clair at a 60.00 crew rate from San Jose Jet, it was a real bargain. The hotel has a good Italian resturant in it but we ate at a cool Pan Asian restuarant called the E & O Trading company, very good. If you golf there is a nice course named the Ranch a short drive south of town. Also, if you want to drive go over to Half Moon Bay, nice town with fun lodging and a neat resturant named Moss Beach Distillery, right on the ocean...hope this helps and have fun.

A little known SJC trivia item is the 9/11 memorial that is visible from the air when on final for rwy 30L. About GS intercept, look close in on the left side, there is a big cemetary - look in the corner closest to you. There is an outline of an airplane you can see.

If you visit on the ground there are nice plaques and other memorials.

the place is a ghost town after 10pm. you might as well hop a train and a bus and go up to san fran. half moon bay is great. san fran is a great experience and lots to see there. san jose is nothing much. drive over to santa cruz as well as half moon bay

Is Great America still open?

You can enjoy all of the free ABC gum you can handle while waiting in line to puke on a roler coaster.

 

[Flat Spot]

Do tell of this great America!!! Gum, puke, rollercoasters sounds good. How would one navigate to this great establishment?

 

[G100driver]

Ask them at your hotel. It is (was) about 4 miles from town.

I was there last about 3 years ago. Be sure to go on Top Gun ...

Isn't that where the remington mansion is?

 

[torchred]

It's the Winchester Mansion...crazy lady had doors put in going to no where or opened to a brick wall

 

[psysicx]

Thank you. I knew it was one of the crazy gun people. Definitly check that out.

Thanks for all of the suggestions. Is the Winchester house one you can tour?

 

[Rokit88]

yes, you can tour the Winchester House. If your in the downtown San Jose area, then you've got to go to 'Original Joe's '.. Its this great old style restaurant right there in downtown. The place is always packed, and you'll feel like you've walked right in the late 40/early 50s (think Frank Sinatra in his hayday with the ratpack and all)

Very cool place..
