Fun and nostalgic. You feel its charm the moment you step inside, and it offers enjoyable moments that will keep you entertained for a long time. It’s effective for both those with a particular interest and those just looking to have fun, and it’s lovely that such a space has been created. Old computers, games consoles, phones and televisions. There are plenty of items on display, and the joy of being able to touch them. The fact that there’s even an S3 mini made me feel a bit old—though I suppose I shouldn’t be too nostalgic about it, ha. Alternatively, there’s a 70s-style office and a student lounge. There’s a friendly welcome and magazines available at the entrance. It offered a fun and unique experience. Admission fee applies.
Cannot recommend highly enough, geat collection and very friendly staff. A must for anyone either looking for a nostalgia hit or wanting to see the evolution of computing and video games. A huge number of hands-on exhibits making this a great destination for a few hours. Very good value at only £12 per adult and no need to book tickets in advance.
Great computer parts sale today - "Bring 'n' Byte" - to buy, sell, and exchange your retro tech! We purchased some items at great prices. The museum itself exhibits an extensive range of computers and consoles, with interesting reconstruction of retro interiors and education room for kids. It us fully accessible, with free parking and accessible toilets. There is a little coffee shop there with hot drinks, sweets and snacks.
Best outing ever! A good combination of educational and fun. My boys and I got hooked on some retro 2 player arcade games, wonderful. Only suggestion: maybe expand the café somewhat. Highly recommended!
A fantastic trip down memory lane! A "must-visit" for tech lovers, this museum is essential for anyone interested in the evolution of computing. It’s a nostalgic journey that left me feeling both sentimental for the past and genuinely inspired for the future. While the footprint is relatively compact, the museum is incredibly dense, so it is a treasure trove packed with original hardware and faithful replicas. Many of the exhibits are operational, so you can try your hands at some coding on original machines. It is well worth the entry fee and a brilliant way to spend some time in Cambridge.
