Family Fun Things to do in San Jose, April 22-29, 2017

 

I love Monster Jam!  Tickets are as low as $20 (with code CHAVEZ on Ticketmaster).

These trucks are huge!!! Yet the drivers flip em, roll em, do donuts.  You just have to see to believe.  Come early for the Pit Party to take pictures and meet some drivers.  Pit Party tickets are $10.
