Brian TamayoAugust 15, 2013Always have plenty of time to visit all of the exhibit & view the video presentations at each display 👍😃
David LimJuly 3, 2013If ya want to meet some very hot and very single PhDs past their 40s, this is the place to be.
Vasilis KandylasJanuary 3, 2015Plan to spend twice as much time as you would expect, it's that amazing. !1!
Eric FriedmanMarch 2, 2014Checkout the old ad campaign remnants where they used old computer chips to make insects - in a glass case on the second floor.
Robert ViceAugust 25, 2011As one already said, you cannot see this all in one day (we were given a special viewing for IEEE Sections Congress from 7-10pm and only got to see half of it while running through the rest)
Nagarjun PalavalliDecember 21, 2012Walk around slowly and watch all the videos for the exhibits, you will appreciate the technology more.
Ratoo LiAugust 23, 2013You need two days for this seriously. And DON'T come here on Monday and Tuesday!
1st & 3rd Saturdays - catch the brilliant PDP-1 demo and play the first computer with explosions - Spacewar! from 1962. I meet it's author Steve 'Slug' Russell!
Eric AndersenMarch 3, 2015Hours are Wed-Sun, 10-5. Closed Monday/Tuesday (though they still answer the phone)
Ana Cecilia Cantu FelixJuly 26, 2014If you come with a computer geek, you'll have an even better time!
This place is awesome, be there earlier and enjoy four hours there.
Lynn HuSeptember 28, 2013After 3:30pm late ticket is only $6, but I didn't finish the exhibition... (Regular ticket is $15)

Mike BloombergMarch 27, 2012After demo day, come to NYC to visit or start your business. You won’t regret it.
gonzalo seoaneFebruary 5, 2012Best museum in the world for Computer Engineers and Maths Professionals!
Brian IbarraApril 19, 2015If you're a computer nerd this is going to make your nerdiness explode lol
Jonathan LeavittMarch 1, 2014Nothing much on mobile. But after all, it's a *computer* museum, not a phone Museum. Much to learn anyhow.
Charlotte WeddellFebruary 14, 2014From what I saw it isn't worth the price of admission. Not enough exibits to hold interest for more than half an hour. Better off at the Tech Museum in San Jose.
