If ya want to meet some very hot and very single PhDs past their 40s, this is the place to be.
Robert ViceAugust 25, 2011
As 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)
Daron YondemMarch 24, 2016
One of the largest collection I have seen so far. Awesome!

Checkout the old ad campaign remnants where they used old computer chips to make insects - in a glass case on the second floor.

Mustvisit!
Jonathan LeavittMarch 1, 2014
Nothing much on mobile. But after all, it's a *computer* museum, not a phone Museum. Much to learn anyhow.
Bert ForsytheNovember 19, 2015
Any demo is incredibly gratifying
Maxim SemenkinNovember 13, 2013
Cool! Must see for all IT-people
Andrea S.August 13, 2015
Half price if you come two hours before closing.
Kevin DuffieldJune 2, 2014
You only need about 2 hours for a pretty thorough walk through
Charlotte WeddellFebruary 14, 2014
From 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.
Avijeet SachdevJanuary 20, 2013
Pay extra for the binary t-shirt! I love mine.
Ben HowdleJune 29, 2015
Fascinating
