The Centre for Computing History cambridge

This is a fantastic place to visit to learn and reminisce about all things computers, retro video games, old arcade machines, history of the computer (more specifically the history of Cambridge and the computer) and much more. The museum is well laid out but absolutely packed full of computers/consoles all of which you are able to use. It's great to take a trip down memory lane or to discover something new. Reasonable price, lots of events which take place throughout the year and aimed at all ages, perfect for families. The cafe is your normal snack bar so no full meals unfortunatey but the gift shop has plenty on offer with retro related items and other items to remember your visit. Overall it's a highly recommend place to visit if you are in Cambridge and certainly worth it for Computer and Video game enthusiasts.

Great museum highlighting the development of computing and video games with plenty of things to try out and had great fun playing some of the retro games. Also saw my first ever home computer - the Acorn Atom - which was designed and built in Cambridge. Well worth a visit.

Enjoyed my trip especially the sight of a bbc micro signed by members of the original acorn team. Just wanted to mention that, if travelling by foot (as we did having left the car at the hotel), the signposting leaves a bit to be desired. Yes there are some street signs directing you through the retail park, over the bridge and left into the industrial estate but then...nothing! I suppose with sat nav on a smartphone, signs aren't necessary- but it might help to raise the profile of the place: even workers outside nearby units had not heard of the place!

Went on a school trip here with the retro video games club- excellent place

Fantastic museum so much effort has been made to make as many of the computers useable

Awesome! An amazing collection of early computers, mostly desktop and laptop sized rather than room sized. Some of the displays are work in progress, but that adds to the charm. An impressive number are still working and you can use them.

Brilliant museum which provides children and adults the opportunity to play computer games in their original form on original machines. Full of history it celebrates the achievements of women including black women and should be fun and informative for all children. Friendly, helpful staff. Highly recommended

Enjoyed my visit here. Educational and a trip down memory lane. It would be good if there was a better/more consistent timeline of the computers on display so one could easily follow it from the earliest computers through to modern day. Loved the games arcade.

This place is a must visit museum in Cambridge. Anyone with any interest in the history of computers will get to see something of interest here. There are even some fun arcades and old consoles to use. I could spend hours here and sure others would as well.

Took my grandson to a workshop building and programming a clock, which was brilliant and he absolutely loved it. He wanted to go back so we went another day round the museum, which he also loved. Highly recommended
