Book Your Day Entry Ticket for Events in Central Milton Keynes on Varoom

Summary: A really interesting museum highlighting the wonderful job Bletchley Park did to shorten and win World War II. The staff were able to explain in 'layman's terms' how the code was cracked and the early computers developed. The room with equipment from the 50s and 60s was also interesting

Summary: Interesting dive into the past of Computing. Excellent talks and demonstrations of the rebuilt Bombe and Colossus machines. Well worth a trip if in the Bletchley Park area.

Summary: Visited after Bletchley Park. Fantastic, friendly staff, who are so obviously enthusiastic and keen to share knowledge, and talk about the exhibits. Lots to look at and interact with. Wish we had skipped Bletchley altogether and spent more time here. Also, the code breaker machines are actually here.

Summary: One of the most amazing places I've been. Seeing so many machines still operating will be something I will never forget. A must go to for any computer nerd.

Summary: A good day out, with excellent guides to explain the work carried out during the war and after. The Museum takes you through the history of computing and soft wear .

Summary: What a fascinating place to visit. The exhibits are really unique and in most cases fully operational. What makes the visit special is the volunteers who do a fantastic job of sharing their knowledge and explain the significance of each machine in the code breaking activities during WWII and subsequent development of the first digital computers. Really recommend for anyone who has an interest in the design and evolution of computers and the whole code breaking story. For younger members of the family there are some early computer games and interactive exhibits that will be very popular. Note this museum is quite separate from the Bletchley Park visitor attraction that shares the same site. My advice is to allow 2-4 hours for the computer museum and a similar amount of time for Bletchley Park tour.

Summary: Some great exhibits. The most striking feature was how helpful the staff were in not only giving the detailed brief on each major area but also in answering questions that they must have heard a hundred times. 10/10 for guide and room staff. Detail for Enigma, Colossus and Bombe was excellent. Just enough to understand but not enough to give you nightmares. I would like to have had a more structured 'evolutionary path' for the exhibits that explained a little more about how technology evolved. Perhaps a bit more of a sense of who the players were throughout the 80's onwards may have been interesting too. Having said that, what is there at the moment is excellent and well worth a visit. You could ditch the games area for me:)

Summary: Technology and history colliding in a really fascinating way. Many thanks to Frank for the Bombe stories and everyone else for making it worth coming from Australia for. Toilets are great too!

Summary: A massive thank you to all the wonderful friendly volunteers who give up their precious time to talk about the items in the museum. We learned so much. And to have so much hands on equipment makes the visit perfect for any age. We all had the best day.

Summary: The National Museum of Computing is an absolute must see and well worth the visits. The team of volunteers and museum staff are incredible, and really take the time to talk through the exhibits -> a huge majority of the devices at the museum still work! The volunteers were so passionate and clearly really care about the museum. Very fun place, for kids and adults as well. Highly recommend the gaming section where you can get holds on with some old school games (but feel prepared to feel old when you see that a PS2 is now considered old enough for a museum!). Overall fantastic day out and not to be missed.
