This library has a decent resident selection and since they are tied to the rest of the Santa Clara city library service AND NOW, the Link+ group, it is much easier to get access to harder to find books.

This is hands down the best escape room company I have ever been to. I have tried over 70 escape rooms before this. Many in Florida and California. I did every room they have except for one in two days. And they are just the best designed and immersive rooms I have had the fortune of trying. But not only are the rooms amazing, the employees are the best i have ever felt such hospitality anywhere i have been. They are the friendliest and generous people and make the games so much more fantastic. Please if you have a chance to go do it!!!

We visied Jamison-Brown House in Santa Clara. It is by the Triton Museum of Art. This i one of the oldest homes in Santa Clara. It is a colonial house from 1866. It has hard wood floors. There is a nice covered outdoor patio area. It is used today as an event center for such things as weddings. There is a redwood grove nearby.

Founded in 1777, this historic mission is located on the campus of Santa Clara University.
Reviewed By pearlwhite - San Jose, United States
This is a beautiful and well-maintained California mission church on the serene Santa Clara University campus. It has a very active parish and the masses are traditional with great music - especially the student mass Sunday night that pulls from the talent of the student body. You can't drive up to the church anymore, so park in the neighborhood and stroll through the campus.

Reviewed By avgjoey - Barrie, Canada
Everything you want to know about the 49ers you can see here. One of the best sports museums I have ever visited. Price of admission was fair. Loved the interactive activities. Great statues of legend players. The Super Bowl trophy room was neat. Great honors to Bill Walsh. All football fans should visit this place. It is part of the stadium so parking could be a challenge.
