San Jose Airport Guide
As you’d imagine of a city in Silicon Valley, one of the main attractions is the Tech Museum which has many of the technological advances of the last fifty years on display in an array of machinery, interactive exhibits and demonstrations. It’s definitely one for geeks! On a macabre note, the Winchester Mystery House is a fascinating experience. Built by the heiress to the Winchester rifles fortune, the woman was so concerned about the ghosts of those killed with the rifles; she embarked on a never ending building program on her house. The result is a maze of rooms with a somewhat edgy feel to them – some have even reported seeing ghosts now that construction has finished.

You can park and recharge electric cars at the airport and also wait free of charge in the cell phone lot. Mobility impaired drivers have their own section but it’s charged at the same rate as other users.
