Um...it's near downtown San Jose, which is quite a distance from I-5. You're looking at a solid hour to get from I-5 to San Jose (via Hwys 152 and 101), and that's if the traffic gods favor you, and it could easily be two hours if they hate you. I live in the area and took the tour once, years ago, and haven't felt the need to go back. I think it's OK as a tourist attraction if you're already in SJ, but definitely not worth the hassle of getting there from I-5. I would pass.
