There are tons of fun things to do in our fine city of Santa Clara, CA. And when it’s spring activities you’re looking for, you’re in the right place. Get out there and enjoy yourself in the warm weather and sunshine.

1. Bernal Historic Open House

When you visit the Burnal-Gulnac-Juice Ranch, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped into the 19th century. The house was built in the mid-1800s and has been refurbished to what it would have looked like around 1910. From the furnishings to the farm tools, you’ll be immersed in what life was like back then for the Bernal family, who worked the fields and gardens.

The Bernal House is located at 372 Manila Dr. in San Jose, just a few miles from Santa Clara. The open house will be held on April 1, 8, 15, and 22 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

2. Mountain Bike Ride on John Nicholas Trail

Get your exercise on this 11-mile mountain bike ride guided by a park ranger. You’ll also enjoy learning interesting facts about the trail and seeing the sights, like the 40-foot-tall sandstone formation and other geographic features. The bike ride will be Thursday and Friday, April 27 and 28 from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Make reservations and find out the exact meeting location by calling 408-497-2943.
