Children’s Discovery Museum of San Jose

Explore, test, tinker, and create with over 150 interactive exhibits and programs in the sciences, humanities, arts, nature, and health.

The award-winning museum sparks learning through play and provides endless hours of family fun, whether it’s creating a ginormous bubble, manipulating objects with air pressure in Amazing AirMaze, igniting scientific inquiry in Mammoth Discovery!, or splashing together while sending a ball soaring atop a jet of water in WaterWays.

Bill’s Backyard is full of outdoor adventures including scaling the tree climber, scooping gravel in the Dig Pit, building a fort, and climbing the lookout tower. In Exploration Portal, have fun linking patterns, scale, and proportion to nature. There’s so much to discover!
