Bletchley Park in Bletchley

It was the best day out. Luckily we have a year long pass so can go back. There is so much there you need a good full day. The staff are all very welcoming and informative and the whole experience was first class, from the lovely man on the gate as we arrived to the ladies in the cafe.

Fantastic experience, however, very targeted to an educated adult audience rather than being family friendly. Good food facilities with nice range of hot and cold options. Easily a two day visit to get through all the exhibits in detail. Note the entry fee includes an annual pass to help with this.

I came to find out more about Alan Turing and there was surprisingly little about him. It is an extensive site and we didnt cover all huts, but if theres anywhere in the UK that should have a memorial for Turing it should be here, and there didnt seem much in his honour.Tickets last 12 months so will be back to check out more. You need more than 3hrs on the site

A very informative place of the WWII role of coding and the ticket is purchased once for a whole year admission. You need around 3 hours to look at everything. It’s really worth it for solo or family

If you do not leave Bletchley Park in awe and humbled by the achievements of those people who served there, then you didnt soak it all in properly. An amazing experience, brilliantly presented.My one bug bear would have been the lack of authentic audio in places, where it is used youre transported back in time and you go some way to appreciating that moment in time.

Plan on spending a full day for your visit as there is a lot to see. The ticket is expensive but allows multiple visits over the course of a year so you can visit again to get the most from the exhibitions such as the current Art of Data which take time to do justice to. The guided tour of the site is good, lasts about 1 hour (doesn’t go into the huts though as the rooms in the huts are generally small). Café isn’t cheap. Everyone on site was helpful and friendly. Fair gift shop with a range of books and Bletchley items. Look out for the heron on the lake.

Great time at 1940s weekendSite is accessible for manual and powered wheelchairsWheelchair lift wasnt working the day I went but there was an alternative access to the part albeit a longer way aroundGot around everywhere with no issuesThere are no disabled spaces that can accommodate a vehicle with a side wheelchair lift so parking is a bit awkward and you have to take up an angled parking positionBut other than that its a good accessible site and easy to get around and in all the buildings

Visited on their 1940s weekend, it was really nice to see and hear all the different period clothing and gear. Bletchley Park as a museum was informative and interesting but not my cup of tea. Felt it was like reading an uninspiring textbook, very knowledgeable but rather tedious which, is why I suspect the ques for the few interactive exhibits were long.

You definitely need a full day to explore the place fully. They had a great data visualisation exhibition and tons of smaller focused workshops.The coffee place also had a decent vegan aubergine dish and a nice vegan chocolate.

It was really interesting to see what work was done here during the war and how it helped our military out. Its amazing that so many people kept this secret and although I was more interested in the code breaking aspect, there are constant reminders of the backdrop of war and true stories from some of the people who worked here. I would highly recommend a visit.

Absolutely beautiful place and the church nearby too. Coming back again as you need at least 2 days to look at everything. Staff are very helpful.

Great immersive experience! Wonderfully documented, lots of videos and recorded sounds to make us feel how it was like working there. Great tour run by skilled volunteers. Highly recommended

A great learning curve for me and the wife. I have never taken much notice of the past or WWII. What an eye opener this visit has been. Enjoyed the informal chat by the Morse Code guy, (sorry, forgot your name). Well worth a visit to here.

Incredible to see how cryptography played a part in world war and how many geniuses like Turing helped reduce the war duration. Very interactive exhibits and many short clips. Plan to spend 4 to 5 hours if you like history and computers.

Fantastic day out for the family. So much to see in the different buildings. The huts have been arranged to show how they looked during their wartime operations. A superb exhibition of the Codebreakers amazing achievements. Theres a restaurant on-site for you to grab some lunch. Parking available. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit.

Amazing. There was a whole different side of the wars I know little of. You can easily spend a whole day here. There is so much to see and learn. We missed 1/2 spots as we were so tired. But definitely worth it. Too much information to digest. People can easily go a few times and spend a nice day there. They give free annual pass which is good.

Great experience visiting the many places within bletchley park. The gentlemen in the National Radio Center were welcoming and very pleasant to chat to.Thanks

I admire whoever put this museum together. The topic is extremely heavy on math (which most people seem to hateand yet they put a lot of personal interest into it to make it a good story. We took 5 hours and still had to skip a lot of audio stories. I didnt get much out of the audio guides that they hand out at the start. It seemed to be too much of a repeat of what is on display. I preferred reading the displays, but I can easily understand why someone would want the guides. Also, we recommend starting in block B. It is heavy material to get through and takes a while, but when you are done, you have the entire story.

Fantastic tour and exceptional staff. My biggest surprise was that the cafes entrees werent available until close to noon. I went with the chicken and leek pie based off of reviews here, and it was amazing. My daughter loved the salmon pastry and son enjoyed the fish and chips. Theres a delightful cafe called Bletchleys Bakery and Cafe a short walk away. We arrived at 9:30 a.m. and the campus wasnt busy until 11. Never too busy that Friday. The playground area has a large chess set, and theres loads of space for little ones to run around. Also plenty of shade. The gift shop has hoodies, gin, and propaganda posters for sale. Quite a memorable trip for our family!

Really interesting place. A lot to see so definitely leave yourself enough time to do it all. I did think the admission was pretty expensive compared to a few other places we’ve visited but it was a good day out

This place was everything I thought it would be, and more. Such an important part of history. Very well presented. Great value for money. Will definitely return to take in even more information.

Firstly Im a mathematician, so Bletchley Park has always been somewhere Ive wanted to visit. I spent a whole day there, from 11:00-17:00 and just about saw everything, and Im likely to be much slower than the average person taking it in, given how deeply I wanted to read everything. Was there with much less mathematical family members who commented that the interactive elements of the displays were fantastic and explained things well.

Amazing place! So much to see. Grand mansion house. Converted huts for a kids puzzle area. If you love history and local history if you live close by. The new museum is wonderful, so much to see and take in. Plenty of outside space, seating. Kids loved the park and activities to burn off energy.

Been several times, each time with someone else. the tranquility of just sitting outside in the sun and trying to imagine what it was like in the war ... Hectic, noisy, secret.... And the importance of all the work done, it makes you think about whats going on in the world. Oooh and they have lovely coffee and cakes (and good lunches)

I had been wanting to visit for a long time and I wasnt disappointed. The tour was fantastic. The house was very interesting. All the huts were great too. If you are at all interested in the work of the code breakers of the Second World War then you will love visiting Bletchley Park. Good value for money as your ticket lets you visit anytime for the next 12 months. Beautiful lake to sit by. Good Café. Would thoroughly recommend Bletchley Park. Thank you to all concerned.

Staff were very helpful and all informative. A well set out location with plenty of ramps for the less able of us.We had a lovely day and would recommend it anyone thay wants omitting different. I think adults would find find more interesting than young children.

The story of station X and the people who worked at BP was fascinating and historic. Simply a must see place for all. Yearly pass is good value as we couldnt see it all in one (hotday.

I knew very briefly what happened here but the way they have created a place to appreciate and learn everything about this magnificent setting was astounding. I spent 6 hours here and have nowhere near finished the vast amount there is to do here. I fully intend to go back and will be bringing my Dad with me. If you havent been before please, please go!

Bletchley Park was the UK biggest secret during WWII. It still remains one of the best secrets as a place to visit.If you thought the movies were good you really need to visit Bletchley and see how really amazing the truth actually is. It is totally staggering what they did in those small huts.But what is great about Bletchley in 2022 is that they have restored the site, and kept the 1940’s feel of the whole site. Everything from the huts to the cafes and toilets are in theme. There are lots of video, interactive and information to make it a great visit.As other people have said keep the tickets, they are valid for a year. It may take 2 or 3 visits if you want to read everything.One of the best sites in the UK to visit, even my partner who hates “war stuff” loved it.

A great day out with some amazing history, the exhibits are detailed and give you a wonderful overview of what happened here and the important role in history that this place played. Staff were wonderful and had a vast array of knowledge. Would highly recommend for a day trip

The museum and exhibits are so good and so interesting. We were lucky as the weather was amazing so all the grounds inside around the lake are superb to enjoy. Once in , the guided tours and audio/video tour is included. Ticket includes unlimited reentry for one year so will take a picnic next time. Thoroughly enjoyed and will return as ran out of time to see everything.. Do it... Go..

A really good day out, but you will need a day, maybe more. Tickets are good for 12 months so you can return. Some great displays and a lot of interactive content for adults and kids.

Great experience- being a local resident we got an entry discount. We did a walking tour which was brought to life by our brilliant guide Peter Marcham. Its fairly flat terrain and plenty of opportunities for picnics. Will go again.

Fantastic day out for all ages, plenty to see so go early and stay late, lunches good though vegetarian cooked food looked much better than the fish and chips and meat (but I am a vegetarian!), huge ice-creams. Make sure you get a headset guide, free with your ticket as lots of info, I loved the pigeon room!

Really well designed, organised and run museum. The experience is interactive and everyone is working so hard to maintain the atmosphere. Its interesting, exciting, mind boggling and inspiring. Food was awesome too, highly recommended!

Super interesting place to visit. So many links to important moments in our history. Option of audio tour or in person one to choose from although I wouldn’t recommend the in person one if you have children. Film and interactive displays in some of the huts bring it all to life. The Victorian mansion is beautiful with a most unexpected interior and I imagine a warm and happy home once before it came to the fore during the war. Super friendly staff and everything incredibly well laid out with an easy to navigate map of the site. Recommend a visit.

We had a fabulous time at Bletchley Park. Our visit was over two days. There is so much to do and see. We started of by taking a guided tour. Our guide Martin Jones was like a walking encyclopedia.We then had the audio tours, these held so much information as well.There were so many sections to visit. Lots of information and a lot of interactive activities to do. For some unfathomable reason, after the guided tour, We started in hut 11a. Dont do it first. It blew our mind, start at the museum.....itll make much more sense. Theres a fabulous statue of Alan Turing made by Stephen Kettle. The shop is great, has a great selection of Bletchley Park related items for all ages. There are plenty of toilets and two great eateries (though a little pricey). The entry cost is great value for money. Please take the time to take in all that Bletchley has to offer. Dont learn your history from the movies. The place demands respect as do the thousands of people who worked there during WWII.

A great exhibition of life behind the scenes of the propaganda machines of the world.Regardless of your thoughts on a war, this is a great story of humans solving problems, interactive, informative and worth a days ramble around the site.Wed just like to thank everyone for an outstanding day, my daughter bought a Virgin Experience ticket for myself (I have been trying to get here for the last many years), we popped in at 12:00, bought a guide book (which turned out to be back to front, I liked that more, followed the form of Bletchley), we then left at 17:10 (apologies), our guide was amazing, informative, humorous and got the group working, 14:00 tour, 24/03/21.We were so pleased that Bletchley Park staff/volunteers all seem to enjoy their work and it is noticeable.Thanks again for a great visit.

I walked in the footsteps of giants. Not just the top codebreakers like Turing but clerks typists couriers and ordinary people who kept this place so secret. All 9000 of them some even took their work to the grave not telling husbands or wives not even children or grand children. The best kept secret of the twentieth century. You can feel the energy and the ghosts of the people who worked here. Heroes every single one of them.The people who work now at bletchley are so proud of their workplace and its history and rightly so.

Wow what a historic place! 😲 Far bigger than I thought it would be. Spent six & a half hours walking around the grounds and exhibits. Still didnt get to all of it! Staff were great a very knowledgeable. Great place to visit if you like WW2 history 😀

Incredibly interesting place to visit, you really do get a sense of how it must have felt to be involved in such intense secrecy. We spent 4 hours here, including 30 minutes for lunch. Theres a huge amount to watch see and read.The cafe by the house could perhaps include a bit more choice but extremely friendly staff.

Really interesting tour included in the price. Quite emotional at times to hear about the many unsung heroes and heroines at Bletchley. A powerful testament to what can be achieved when people pull together for the greater good

A interesting place to visit but was a bit under whelmed. Avoid the Cafe as prices are eye watering ,small sausage roll £5.00Typical of badly run places like this.Kids will be bored

Most people will not be aware how this place and the incredible people who worked there during the war, actually helped save thousands of lives.The hard work of the volunteers who maintain and provide help to visitors is invaluable.Good easy access to all areas, a tidy and good value cafe available.

Finally got round to visiting Bletchley Park. It is a fascinating museum with a range of different exhibits. We took a tour with an engaging volunteer guide who gave us a real insight into what went on during wartime. An important piece of history that should be preserved for future generations. Google would not even exist without it!!!

This is not a museum, it is a place where historical events took place and you can literally walk through them.For anybody that is interested in the origins of computer science, here you can discover some “dots” to connect that brought the modern computer era.

Overall, it isnt as good as it used to be, because Colossus is no longer included as an exhibit and they didnt make this clear at all. Also, the Winston Churchill room no longer exists.They have improved what they do have, including a very good video when you walk in and a cinema area with another good video.£7.99 for the bath ducks in the gift shop is a rip off, but other items in the shop were valued okay.The childrens playground needs some more items. It would also be good to have learning material in the museum for young children.

Nobody would suspect that this nondescript collection of buildings in the beautiful ground of a large country estate would be home to some of the most important scientific, technological and military work the world had ever seen.The site is chock full of finely gathered and detailed information that tells the story of how, in the late 1930s the British government needed a site located close to London, Birmingham, Oxford and Cambridge to gather and monitor information on the increasing situation with Germany.The volunteers are great, answering questions with knowledge and patients. Bletchley Park is one of the finest museums in the world.

Absolutely recommended, we have a superb afternoon wandering around the estate taking in as much information as possible. It was brilliant to see actual items from the war era and how they put together the decoding process across the huts.Loved the way they have restored the site as if the staff have just left - gives a feeling of how the environment would have been (without the danger!).We drove to Bletchley and there was plenty of room to park.Theres an amazing amount of information so you can make the day as long as you want.

We had free tickets for this visit courtesy of the Heritage Week, which was very fortunate as it is a place we have both wanted to visit for some time now. Like so many others we knew a brief outline of what went on here, but to have it explained of the depth of research involved and the degree of secrecy maintained for all those years is truly outstanding. So much so that in all honesty I doubt if the country could enlist as many like minded and qualified people, both men and women, in this modern age. I wholeheartedly recommend taking the time to tour this wonderful testament to true British grit and resolve, you wont regret it.
