💬 What Visitors Say
- Start with the STEAM Timeline exhibit to understand the chronological evolution of computing, then explore the supercomputers section (70+ on display) and space exploration exhibit - this logical flow helps visitors grasp how technology developed over time
- Plan for 2-3 hours minimum to adequately explore the 2,000+ artifacts. The collection is extensive and carefully curated with detailed explanations, so rushing through diminishes the educational value
- Join the membership program if planning multiple visits - the museum offers summer camps and regular special events (calligraphy classes, book clubs about tech history), making membership a worthwhile investment for repeat visitors
- Don't miss the genuine Enigma machine and the Apollo 11 moon lander recreation - these signature artifacts appear frequently in positive reviews and represent unique pieces not found in most technology museums
- Bring older children and teens (10+) who have interest in computing, space, or technology history - the detailed timelines, iconic computers, and educational narrative about innovators behind the machines is particularly engaging for this age group
