Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- Wendy T27 contributionsWe were unsure about this, knowing it's such a tourist thing, but we were really happy we went! Our teenagers found it interesting and the tour guide, Jesse, was a perfect blend of funny and informative. He knew the answer to every question we had.
My only downside was the tour size was a bit too big for the spaces we were in. If you do this tour, stay close to the guide so you don't miss anything---we had a few points where we were stuck in a hallway while he spoke.Written 3 January 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Bathroom tho is not well maintained, well it’s free what do you expect! It’s a great place for photoshoot and family time.

- William BSan Jose, CA165 contributionsAn amazing and surprising museum in a residential neighborhood of San Jse with elaborate Egyptian exhibits and beautiful gardens. Definitely worth a trip.Written 11 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Dr. Will ToSan Jose, CA5 contributionsSantana Row is a great place to hang out with a coffee or boba on a nice day with friends and family. The boutiques and outdoor restaurants give it a very Barcelona-style feel while you are enjoying your time there. You can recognize many of the places as Bay-Are local owned businesses like Optical Illusions and Boba Guys, but they also have big brands like Arc'teryx and Vuori.Written 1 June 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Thomas4 contributionsHappy Hollow was my childhood favorite. Growing up in the Bay Area and spending time here with family was such a nice benefit. Our school would also sign up for trips to this park. now I can share the same experience with my kids. allowing them the adventure and exactment flourish. the zoo is so cool and the dragon train is an iconic part of the attraction. I will also be coming here to enjoy the adventures and share them.Written 16 January 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Rick C.Santa Fe, NM38 contributionsI've always preferred hands-on museums over museums where you just observe things under glass and read about what you are looking at. This museum is definitely hands-on. A highlight for me was creating an animation of a camel wearing "bling" riding a skateboard upside down with one hand. :-DWritten 1 March 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Tippegirl2Tippecanoe, IN289 contributionsWe stopped in to see the Gymnasts compete. We are from Indiana and stayed in San Francisco. We rode the train to San Jose and were thrilled it stopped right at your doorstep. The only problem was we didn't know it. No signs anywhere we could see telling us the SAP Center was right in front of us. It could have been any stadium or venue. Please help others and put a SAP sign on your backside. The center itself is a nice venue. Sad only a few food places opened for us.Written 20 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Lori J21 contributionsLovely place for a respite will checking out my surroundings in San Jose. Walked in during one of the Spanish masses and got to witness a newborn being baptized. Sweet moment in a special place of worship.Written 18 September 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- One Sky For AllSan Jose, CA285 contributionsThe park itself is very beautiful, but the roads are still very washed out and, in some places, one cannot pass without rubber boots. A lot of people walk along the trails, someone alone, not afraid ..., someone walks their dogs. We met fresh tracks of wild boars. A huge number of turkeys on the hills. The hare we got on the way was not frightened; it was still quite small. Had a great time with the kids. We will definitely return to this park again. The younger ones were not ready for ups and downs, they had to be halfway through the impact, but still the trip was a success. There are many options for choosing a distance, there is a shorter or longer route. There are maps at the entrance to the park, but it is advisable to go with a GPS. Lost signal several times. The markings of interest are very accurate at the intersections of the roads, you won't get lost.Written 19 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
