While you're there
» The UK in San Jose
Photonics West exhibitors from the United Kingdom will be featured in their own pavilion in the 1600 aisle. This year, 37 UK companies will show their products at Photonics West, and many of them can be found at the pavilion. Stop by and see some of the best in British innovation and technology.
» Say yes to yachts

Get up close to Alcatraz, Fisherman's Wharf and Bay area marine life. All trips include hors d'oeuvres and beverages, docking for lunch and champagne with chocolate at sunset.
» Golf you've dreamed about
The San Jose area has the full range of top flight golf courses, including the Coyote Creek Golf Club, a Jack Nicklaus signature course, and Cinnabar Hills Golf Club, voted the best golf course in Silicon Valley by readers of Metro, a San Jose newspaper. First-rate 18-hole courses are also at Eagle Ridge Golf Club, Pruneridge Golf Club, Santa Teresa Golf Club and San Jose Municipal Golf Course.
» Winchester Mystery House
It may well be San Jose's most famous tourist attraction. The beautiful and eerie 160-room Victorian mansion at 525 South Winchester Blvd. was continually built and added on to by rifle heiress Sarah Winchester over four decades. Architecturally eccentric, the mansion has windows that are built into the floor, staircases that lead to nowhere, a chimney that rises four floors, and doors that open onto blank walls. With 4 stories, 47 fireplaces, 17 chimneys, and 950 doors, it's worth the visit.
