    Visiting my son in the area of Stotfold we decided to take a day trip to this museum at Bletchley. My husband and my son have a keen interest in computers of all types and now I very well may be converted . Packed full of history from where computing began to where we are now, this “ place of interest “ proved to be an affordable day out and one for all the family . Certainly worth a visit 👍

    Really enjoyed coming here last weekend. Fairly easy to get to - one million roundabouts and a very odd dodgy one not far from Bletchley Park. They have plenty of parking right outside. The building has a bit for everyone really - many rooms are mechanical computers from the 40's and 50's, very large. The informative talks from the people there were really good and helped me understand what they did and how it all works. I am a programmer myself and build computers also for my day to day job, but being born in the 80's I'd no clue really about these old code breaking machines. It's still very complex and a little outdated even for me, but it was still interesting to know where the origins of todays modern computers started. Other rooms like the mainframe room was the most interesting. I had really good long talks with both employees and volunteers about the kit in those rooms. Again most machines in there are from the 60s and 70s and only just resemble a computer, but it's still fascinating to see something the size of a room and how they work. The rest of the facility is interesting - loads of older computers on show, the majority all up and running so you can play around with them. Some had preloaded software and others as simple as the BASIC prompt. Also lots of cabinets showing tech. The gift shop right at the end is ok - has a few interesting things. I picked up a valve flip-flop kit as always fancied something with a valve, plus very much into soldering projects. Will get on to that soon. Definitely worth coming here. I think for children, it may get very boring in all honesty. I spent a good 4 hours here, but I think a child may get bored within minutes.

    This is a hidden gem and such friendly and knowledgeable people who explain everything so patiently. You just admire the ingenuity and professionalism of people during ww2 and why Britain remained the flag bearer in Europe
