Computer History Museum

Check out the Babbage Machine , it was designed in the 1830s but could not be built because of its great cost. The machine was built using Babbage 's design in the 1990s and worked perfectly!

The best place to get known about history of semiconductors, computers and technology at all. After 1:00 PM you could sit inside of Google self drive car.

Excellent museum to see the history of computing . Goes all the way from the start of recorded history through to the modern computers of today.

Revolution exhibition is very good made, it's worth to visit everyone even those who considers oneself not much interested in computers. I bet you like it, it's not boring.

An amazing museum where the entire history of computing is on display. Sort of a mandatory pilgrimage for any self-respecting geek . Highly recommended.

Give yourself about 4hrs to see everything and go at a leisurely pace. Tours are at 12 and 2!

Everyone should see how today's world revolves in computer industry. I really impressed how woman's are involved in their jobs in late century. Growing countries should learn. Don't feel it's useless

Amazing collection of historic computers, all really well displayed. Apparently the Babbage Difference Engine will return to its owner mid-2016 so come to see it in action while you still can!

Spend a good part of your day here. NERD IT UP! Make sure you you attend the live demos for sure.

A fantastic collection of computational paraphernalia that puts into context the rapid rise of Silicon Valley . Highlights for me included the PDP-1, the Xerox Alto, and Google's first server rack.

Museum is very interesting and huge, so don't try to see and explore everything at once, better come here a few times.

Fun, stimulating way to get a thorough overview of the history of computing all the way back to the abacus! Make it a day trip — there's quite a lot to see.

Awesome venue, check out the gift shop lots of great geeky things.

this is the perfect place for a romantic date . if ya wanna let the special person in your life what's up, double down on the "geek package" nothing says love like rows of silicon and foreign tourists

The whole place has been TOTALLY revamped if you haven't been here in years. If you love tech, you're definitely going to love this place!

Really interesting!! There's tons of information about the history of computing and other modern technologies. The guided tour is very much worth it.

If you come late you can save bucks on the admission fee BUT you won't have enough time for this awesome exhibition !! I'll have to come a 2nd time. Too much great stuff!!

The museum is really nice, there are plenty of things to see and several videos that explain the history of modern computers. A little shop for geek toys also available.

Catch the info on Babbage differentiator if you can. Tour may move too slowly for most & miss some items of interest - I'd suggest a self-meandered pace. ;-)

It’s a fine collection of memorabilia tracing the history of computing . There are multiple exhibits which count as landmarks in the evolution of computers.

Small from outside but Huge inside and very cool for all old Geek ????

I could spend all day in this museum . Check out the gallery of games and consoles and see if you can spot a Dreamcast, Master System, Saturn and Genesis. - Kate, Assistant Community Manager

Google street view car section gives wonderful experience. Try to ride the standing street view bicycle which displays the street view when we ride bicycle.

This museum is amazing. Make sure to go for at least two hours.

Come early, there are lots of exhibitions , videos and demos to see! Definitely loved my time here. A must place to go if you love computers. Awesome and passionate staff as well .

Excellent exhibits . I could have spent many hours here, but I unfortunately only had about 2 hours.

Computer History Museum 6 minutes to the north of Dental Arts of Mountain View

A lot of stuff to enjoy if you like technology. The galleries are explained for all audiences, not only tech experts

Discount on admission closer to closing (2hours?), but need at least 3 hours to fully see everything without rushing. Also Free wifi available!

There's a lot of tech history inside this place. If you want to know how many of the gadgets you use today was conceived, this is the right place.

Great museum with lots of cool artifacts and blasts from the past!

One of the best museums I've been to. Arrive early! There's a lot to see.

"Small but important, this museum is the real deal with almost every artifact of the computing and pre-computing age (make sure you check out their events calendar)"

In January, this museum opened R:Evolution, a $19 million exhibit about the first 2,000 years of computing. It includes the first commercially available microprocessor, 1971's Intel 4004.

Amazing history. You never get bored here. Very good organized .

Plan for a lot of time here. Also the 1 hour cheat sheet is super helpful in not missing the most important things in this jam packed museum .

Great museum with a great store and exhibition ! First place in Silicon Valley to go.

A tour was very cool. But I made a second a lap around the exhibition to overview all the stuff.

Great museum if you are into computers. It contains the history of computers from beginning until today.

So much great stuff, it would take several hours to see it all!

It's simply amazing. And huge. Plan for all day, if you are gonna stay and read/watch video exhibits information. For me, one day was not enough.

It's a must for every person involved with science, not just for nerds or computer engineers . And the staff is very nice ü

The Babbage engine exhibition is nice and fun! The guy is really funny.

When going through the exhibits , count up the machines and devices you've personally owned - it might be more than you think!

Of note: Microsoft is virtually absent in this telling of the story (and software is pretty light in general). I'm biased but still surprised by it.

The world's largest history museum for the preservation and presentation of artifacts and stories of the Information Age.

Definitely a must if your in San Francisco. 45 minute drive, you won't regret it!

Awesome place. Have some stuff I haven't seen in years. Really fun to walk through.

Good to see the history of computer . Especially US computer history, not whole world.
