Worthwhile visit for family with teenagers. - Had a really great time.Very enthusiastic and helpful staff. Thoroughly enjoyed the enigma and Bombe machines and colossus computer being explained and working. Clearly run by dedicated enthusiasts who do their best to demystify the complexities of the machines they are caring for. Also we enjoyed the exhibits of home computers in decades gone by but familiar to those of us who grew up in the 70s and 80s. We were able to try our hands at such classics as pac man. Everyone was so kind, even the lovely man in the shop who didn’t mind us changing our minds over badges. Thanks you to all.

Fab day out - From the moment we walked through the door and showed our tickets, I knew my 10 year old grandson was going to have fun

Working ENIGMA and Turing machines!! - Incredibly important historical place, a must to visit if you want to learn one fundamental element that contributed to the victory of WWII. All big machines (BOMBE, Colossus, Mark II, etc) and many home computers are working. Also, amazing staff there, presentations and demos are great, thank you guys!

This certainly does compute Mr Spock - What a great place to take our two grandsons. Fascinating to see the WW2 Colossos computer rebuilt and many f the more recent computers from the 1980s onwards - working! Worth spending 2 - 3 hours enjoying. and a good compliment to the ( bigger) Bletchley Park Museum which virtually shares the same car park (You should probably allow a complete day for the Bletchley wartime site and visit the computing museum on. 2nd day as we did. So much to see in both sites.
