The Computer History Museum is definitely more of a “Must See” compared to the Intel Museum. It is much larger and comprehensive, as the Intel Museum is more focused on one aspect of computing, the integrated circuit. The Intel Museum is basically one big room, whereas the Computer History Museum has many rooms, floors and wings. The Intel Museum does have a couple of interactive activities, though. The Intel Museum is always free, and I got free admission to the Computer History Museum through Bank of America’s Museums on Us program.

We spent many hours, but could have spent more. I think it is up to the visitor how deeply they want to go into the exhibits and the interest level. My husband has worked in the tech field for decades, so he was very interested in everything. We also enjoyed the special demonstrations and took breaks for lunch and coffee. I think the answer is, you can spend an hour or the whole day...but don't miss this great museum.
