If you can go for a live demo of Bletchley Park's fully recreated Bombe, that's pretty special.

Edit: Oh wow, apparently the Bombe was moved to the National Museum of Computing some years ago. TNMOC wins!




Ah that explains a lot. I was confused reading some of the comments here, because to my memory all the war computing/enigma & post-war work was in BP museum, and TNMOC had a brief mentioned to link but was mostly later personal computing / early displays for ATC, etc.

TNMOC wasn't better to me, because I was more interested in Turing et al. than 80s vintage computing. (And some people would be the opposite, I was just surprised to see so many comments saying it's almost objectively better for this crowd.) But if all the computing side is there now makes sense that people are saying that.
