The museum's great, I would recommend it for techies, engineers and anyone interested in the evolution of computing and electronics. It brought back a lot of memories from school too! An important t… Full review by ttvisitor

Excellent history of computer technology. It was well laid out and had interactive displays. Spending two hours is easy. Full review by Compass22556325173

I arranged to spend only two hours, but could have spent three. First: amazingly comprehensive collection - everything from the earliest calculating devices (eg Napier's bones) and pocket calculator… Full review by Gerbilator
If forced to choose, and entrance fee is not a factor, which is better - this or Intel museum?

I've not been to the intel museum, so can't really say, but I suspect both would be very different as this is the actual computers, from mechanical computers, through valve technology, memory technology and todays highly integrated semiconductor technologies. If you worked in computing during the 60,70,80's in particular, this will bring back lots of memories. For what its worth, you could do this in a couple of hours max if you did not read all the text, so maybe you may be able to do both :-)
Can't find admission charges, and parking info on Web

There are 400 free parking spots in front of the museum. Adult admission is $15. Students with an ID, Active Military with ID and Seniors 65+ are $12. Children 12 and under are free.

We spent many hours, but could have spent more. I think it is up to the visitor how deeply they want to go into the exhibits and the interest level. My husband has worked in the tech field for decades, so he was very interested in everything. We also enjoyed the special demonstrations and took breaks for lunch and coffee. I think the answer is, you can spend an hour or the whole day...but don't miss this great museum.
Hi Pau E! I think you meant to ask how much the museum costs to visit. General admission is $15. If you are a student with an ID, 65 years old or older, or in the active military, it costs …
Hi Pau E! I think you meant to ask how much the museum costs to visit. General admission is $15. If you are a student with an ID, 65 years old or older, or in the active military, it costs $12. Kids 12 and under are free, which is a great deal. Your visit can last as long as you like. I recommend at least three hours. The museum is open Wed. through Sun. 10 to 5. Check out the museum website for all the logical, left-brained facts compiled by technical people. If you need fuzzy logic, you can contact me through tripadvisor. Have fun!
