Top Geeky Cities to Visit

Go for an all-out Star Wars theme by visiting the Presidio in San Francisco, home of Lucasfilm and the Letterman Digital Arts Center. Find the Yoda statue and check out the lobby filled with memorabilia. Even better? You can spend a few days in San Francisco or Napa, too, for a fun trip that suits all kinds of personalities.

Have an out-of-this-world affair at the John F. Kennedy Space Center in Florida. If you have some extra time, rent a car, hit the beaches, and spend a day or two in the sun.

There's much more to DC than the White House — the museums alone are worth the trek. Check out The Art of Video Games, currently on exhibit at the American Art Museum, which is part of the Smithsonian.

Harvard, MIT — Cambridge is a city full of high IQs, so geek out with the nation's biggest brains with a weekend full of education. Check out the exhibits at MIT between stops at the plentiful collegiate bars.

As if The Wizarding World of Harry Potter isn't enough, there's also the ultrageeky Epcot, Universal Studios, and Disney World itself. Sip some cool butterbeer, channel your inner 10-year-old, and add a veil to the bride's Minnie Mouse ears.

Silicon Valley — the land of Apple, Google, and Facebook — is a no-brainer for techie geeks. Check out the downtown area, visit The Tech Museum of Innovation, and fit in time for all the restaurants and coffee shops brimming with local tech employees.
