Santa Clara Travel Guide

 1 Review  Yes, Santa Clara actually does have a downtown. And that place is centered by the Franklin Mall. When I was a young boy I used to collect stamps. And the best stamp store was located in the Franklin Mall. I hated to go there as it was a really mangy neighborhood. But a lot has changed over the... 

 1 Review  Founded in 1985 to preserve the heritage of American railroading, the Historical Railroad Society is located at the old Santa Clara Depot, near across the street from Santa Clara University. From the Web Site: The South Bay Historical Railroad Society (SBHRS) was incorporated in 1985 to preserve... 

 1 Review  I'm not much of a museum guy, but most locals don't even know about this little treasure. Located in downtown (yes, there is a downtown) Santa Clara, the Triton boasts rotating exhibits highlighting the museums collection of 19th and 20th century American art. Also permanent is the Native American... 

 1 Review  The De Saisset Museum at Santa Clara University is the South Bay's free Museum of history and art. The 19,210 square-foot facility was founded adjacent to the Mission Santa Clara de Asis on the Santa Clara University campus in 1955, and is currently one of only two museums in the South Bay... 

 mingomatic Says:  It's active, it will kill half your day, and it's a lot of fun if you have a big group. It's about $60 per person until you run out of ammo. The people and here are pretty good with making sure you're having a good time. Try to get as much armor as you can including gloves...

 Mark_12 Says:  I'm really glad I discovered this restaurant AFTER I spent two weeks in Greece; otherwise, all the food in Greece would have been a letdown. This is really one of my favorite restaurants.The proprietor takes a hands-on approach to management and the food reflects it. She's a... 

 Mark_12 Says:  This restaurant is located in a strip mall and is usually croweded a lunch times; I've had to wait for a table a couple of times but the line moves quickly. Ambiance is, "crowded lunch place".Not being a pho expert, I like this place because the broth seems to taste better... 

 Mark_12 Says:  I ate a business lunch and a business dinner at Birk's; the food and service were mediocre (less than mediocre if you factor in the price). Someone in my party asked that his Cobb salad be tossed; in not only wasn't tossed but the kitchen had fogotten to add the... 

 Mark_12 Says:  I ate lunch here with a friend from Italy and he said that the pizza reminded him of the kind they served in the south of Italy. The service was good and the resaurant was packed (there was a wait for tables).Note that the price range below is for lunch. The Pizza... 

 Mark_12 Says:  I ate a business lunch at Parcel 104. The wait would have been 45 min. (we arrived at 12:15) but, fortunately, a large group cancelled and we were seated quickly. The nearby convention center and the fact that the hotel to which it is attached also hosts conferences probably... 

 Sonador3 Says:  Every once in a while a restaurant comes along that really shocks you with its sophistication and quality. And living in the Bay Area, most of the time you have to head on up to San Francisco to find such a place. Not any more. There is such a place and it's right here in... 

 cwest03 Says:  SpeedRing - This place has been open since December of 2001 and I just heard about it this week. SpeedRing is a go kart track unlike any other I have been to. The first major difference is that it's indoors. I have also never had to put on a jumpsuit and sit through a... 

 Shaft28 Says:  I always loved Santa Clara University as a fun place to walk around. We had friends who went to school here or still live near by, so found ourselves on campus as much as our own.We'd spend spring days lounging around the great campus and spend the evening at Cluck U chicken...
