Step inside one of America’s great mysteries.
Few landmarks capture the imagination quite like the Winchester Mystery House — a sprawling, 160-room Victorian mansion built with staircases that lead nowhere, doors that open onto walls, and a history as puzzling as its architecture. Part haunted house legend, part architectural marvel, it’s one of the most compelling things to do in San Jose, whether you’re drawn in by the mystery or the craftsmanship.
Designated a National Historic Place, a California Historic State Landmark, and a San Jose City Landmark, the mansion offers guided tours and, for a limited time, access to rooms never before open to the public. The Winchester Mystery House sits at 525 South Winchester Blvd., within easy walking distance of Hotel Valencia Santana Row.
Visit the Winchester Mystery House website to plan your visit and check for seasonal tours and Halloween happenings. The house is closed Thanksgiving Day and December 25. Visit their site for current hours.
