A piece of history - how we won the war! - 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

The Bombe - 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.

Fantastic - 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.

Computer Nerd's Dream - 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.

The secret war work - 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 .

Fascinating incite into the development of digital computers as part of WWII codebreaking effort. - 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.

A must see museum with exceptional guides - 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:)

Bletchley still delivering - I caught a train from London and walked the short distance to Bletchley. Signage at the street entry was poor with no signage to the entry. Once in, the experience was well worth the visit. Such a vital part of our history.

Total disappointment on arrival in Park - Never got there as trip adv published” daily entry tkt” , who as a foreigner was to know that the Museum is a totally separate entity to BLETCHLY Park with all the huts used for staff decoding and computer science etc???very frustrating to fork out another near GBP 100 again. Very irritating plus disappointing. Trip Adv not interested in addressing the anomaly.

Dull and disappointing - I bought tickets for the museum by mistake, thinking it was for Bletchley Park (and that was the headline on all the email correspondence so I didn't realise my error until we turned up at the Bletchley Park entrance desk). No matter - we visited Bletchley Park itself first (very interesting) and then we walked up to visit the museum (which is on the same campus). Since my husband and I had both worked in computing since the 1970s, and had been early adopters of new technology ourselves from then on, we thought it would be interesting but I'm afraid we both found it very dull. Most of the staff were keen and friendly but one of the guides actually shouted at some of the visitors whilst we were there as they were using equipment which was making a noise. So it was a very disappointing visit,, we didn't stay long and wouldn't recommend it.
