Since Santa Clara is the host city, this is where you'll find the highest energy and the most official "Big Game" vibes.

The 49ers Museum: Located at Levi’s® Stadium, this is a world-class, 20,000-square-foot facility dedicated to the past, present, and future of the San Francisco 49ers. It’s an immersive experience that any football fan will love during Super Bowl week.
Intel Museum: Take a break from football to see the history of the silicon chips that built this valley. It’s a fascinating, high-tech look at the innovation that defines Santa Clara.
