San Jose is a city that's particularly well suited for wholesome and healthful nighttime activities. While it's enough of a metropolis to have many establishments that remain open late, its spaciousness and mild climate also make it an ideal place to spend the nighttime hours outdoors. Whether it's sports, socializing or just enjoying the fresh air, there's a variety of activity ideas for San Jose at night.
Working Out
Working out may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of a nighttime activity, but in San Jose, it's a viable option. At 24 Hour Fitness Super Sport, you can hit the gym in the evening and work out until the sun comes up. This is perfect for those who have odd work schedules or simply like to have the gym to themselves, as most people tend do their workouts during the daytime.
Paintball
There aren't many sporting complexes that are open at night. Paintball is one of them, however, and it attracts many people who enjoy the added challenge. Santa Clara Paintball in San Jose is open until 10 p.m., well after the sun goes down, every weekday during the summer, as of 2010. Weaving through obstacles inside a paintball complex can be a great way to fulfill the need for a nighttime thrill in San Jose.
Bowling
One of the classic American forms of evening fun, bowling is easily accessible in San Jose. In particular, 300 Bowling, which has locations around the country, is open until 2 a.m. every day of the week, as of 2010. Not only are there lanes to perfect your bowling form, there are also TVs to enjoy other sporting events and a sophisticated menu with such items as bruschetta and fried artichoke hearts. All members of the family are welcome at 300 Bowling.
Dancing
Dancing is always an appealing nighttime activity option. Of course, many clubs can be crowded and loud, which makes them hard to enjoy, but in San Jose there are a few down-to-earth, relaxing spots where you can cut loose. The Temple Bar and Lounge, and Fahrenheit Ultra Lounge, for example, are both located downtown and attract crowds that enjoy friendly mingling and dancing to music at a reasonable volume. Temple Bar and Lounge caters more to jazz lovers, while Fahrenheit Ultra Lounge attracts young, hip patrons who enjoy low-key dance beats.
Night Golf

In Cupertino, a suburban town on the western border of San Jose, there's a spot called Deep Cliff Golf Course. As of 2010, This course features the "Burger Madness and Mai Tai Night Golf Event," with a 9-hole round of golf that kicks off just before 9 p.m. The club even provides glow-in-the-dark balls for players.
