Downtown San Jose is home to the San Jose McEnery Convention Center, where many of the region's conferences and trade shows are held, along with SAP Center, the arena for the San Jose Sharks and major concerts. The Tech Interactive, a hands-on science and technology museum, is a few blocks away and is a hit with families.
