Children’s Discovery Museum of San Jose and Mineta San José International Airport are hosting a press event to open a new educational play space called Zoom Zone on Wednesday, October 27 at 1p.m. in Terminal B.

Children’s Discovery Museum of San Jose designed and created Zoom Zone with sponsorship funding from Zoom Video Communications, Inc. (Zoom) around the belief that many children have never flown on an airplane and are fascinated by what they see in the sky.
