Ulistac National Park, the only dedicated natural open space in the city, contains over 40 acres of natural land along the Guadalupe River. The park is the perfect place to get away from the hustle and bustle of Super Bowl hysteria. Bring a book, go for a walk, and enjoy the scenery in one of the state’s most beautiful areas.

Located off Highway 101, the Intel Museum is a phenomenal way to learn more about technology and the direction it is headed.

3. California’s Big Adventure

For the bold and daring, this Six Flags amusement park is the perfect way to spend a day with the whole family. The park includes rides, a water park, Planet Snoopy, and live entertainment. Just make sure to not eat too much cotton candy!

4. Santa Clara On Ice

From November 21-February 7, everyone has the chance to put on some skates and enjoy the “snow” at Santa Clara Central Park. Ironic enough, February 7 is also the date of Super Bowl 50. So take the family and see who can stay on their feet the longest!
