Monopoly in the Park — Attraction in San Jose

Date of Visit: Saturday, Dec 14th, 2019 Because we came to San Jose - we knew we had to look for the Monopoly in the Park attraction. We had seen it many times on other people's Instagrams and thought it might be a good roadside attraction worth visiting.
