Absolutely great element of computers. Most of them can be tried. My 3.5years old loved it ;
Fantastic experience. So many machines you could not only play with but program too. The mega processor though is a really awe inspiring piece, well worth the trip if just on its own.
Awesome place for all computers and consoles adepts! Great place for parents to show their kids how was technology back in their days! Almost all the computers and consoles are in working order so it's amazing to actually try and play on them and there's tons of them.
Loads of retro consoles to try - everything you can think of! Great to get hands on. Some of the games are definitely not as good as I can remember! The 70s office was also really interesting. It's a bit out the way so if not driving I'd recommend using a bike to get there! Great stuff, good value too doing student and oap discount.
Lovely place, well set out, plenty to do. It gets a bit chilly in the main warehouse so if you plan to go for several hours on a cold day wear thick socks! Kids loved it, hubby was amused and I loved reading all the history. We will definitely visit again!
I took my 9 yr old during half term. I loved showing him the old gaming consoles and giving him a chance to play on consoles that I grew up with. Plenty of interactive fun including old school coding ...well worth a visit...great value for money as well :
