Museums, Aquariums, and Nerdy Day Trips

The world famous Winchester Mystery House™ in San Jose, California, is an extravagant maze of Victorian craftsmanship - marvelous, baffling, eerily eccentric, and undeniably, haunted. Wander through 110 of the 160 rooms of this Victorian mansion, designed and built by the Winchester Rifle heiress Sarah Winchester. For nearly thirty-eight years the round-the-clock sawing, sanding, and hammering at the Winchester Mystery House™ never ceased. Was Sarah cursed by the ghosts of those killed by the Winchester rifle or did she use the endless building and rebuilding as a distraction from grief over the deaths of her loved ones? The mystery shrouding the Winchester Mystery House™ may never allows us to separate fact from the legend.

This is also an amazing place to watch the sunset across the water over the city!!
