- desas 3y agoAnd the National Videogame Museum in Sheffield - https://thenvm.org/ https://thenvm.org/
- stdgy 3y agoI was able to visit this place last year, it was great! I spent all day wandering around and playing. I would have stayed even longer if they weren't closing, hah.
- sincarne 3y agoHighly recommended. They used to have a gaming-focused satellite in the Grand Arcade. It’s gone, now, but I heard a rumour they may bring it back in the summer.
- shrikant 3y agoThere's also the Museum of Computing in Swindon. https://www.museumofcomputing.org.uk/ https://www.museumofcomputing.org.uk/ I wouldn't recommend going out of your way to visit it, but if you find yourself in Swindon for some reason, then it's worth a peep.

- _a_a_a_ 3y ago"When a man is tired of life he goes to Swindon to discover real fear and that life may not be so bad after all" Yes, I've been on the Magic Roundabout, nearly shat myself and I wasn't even driving.
- TNorthover 3y agoI'm imagining you tackling it on foot now.
- hunta2097 3y agoAs someone who lives 200 meters from The Magic Roundabout, this is the kind of optimism I can get behind!
- mumblingdrunk 3y agoI can also highly recommend a visit to The National Museum of Computing. https://www.tnmoc.org/ https://www.tnmoc.org/ While you're there, take a stroll around Bletchley Park as well. Last time I checked, you get a discount when visiting both, and they're right next to each other.
- basementcat 3y agoThis weekend (5/20-21) they’re hosting an Acorn Econet LAN party! https://www.tnmoc.org/events/2023/5/20/econet-lan-party https://www.tnmoc.org/events/2023/5/20/econet-lan-party
- jamiek88 3y agoOh man I wish I was still in uk i would so be there.
- ben_ 3y agoI suppose if someone was en route to visit Stonehenge or Avebury it could be tied in!
- SteveMoody73 3y agoAnother one for the UK as well https://www.rmcretro.com/visit-the-cave https://www.rmcretro.com/visit-the-cave
- nikdoof 3y agoAlso a general computer museum in the north-west (Leigh, Greater Manchester) as well: https://www.nwcomputermuseum.org.uk/ https://www.nwcomputermuseum.org.uk/ - with quite a nice looking but frustrating website...
- bluescrn 3y agoAlso https://www.arcadeclub.co.uk https://www.arcadeclub.co.uk (While they don't brand themselves as a museum and it's very much about playing the games, they have an incredible collection of arcade gaming history)
- acqbu 3y agoAs well as: https://www.derbycomputermuseum.co.uk/ https://www.derbycomputermuseum.co.uk/
- frakt0x90 3y agoThe guy behind This Museum is (Not) Obsolete has a youtube channel Look Mum No Computer where he creates massive, insane musical instruments out of furbies, hand-made syths, etc. Truly impressive and very entertaining and educational.
- lewisflude 3y agoAs a resident of Ramsgate, definitely feel lucky to be a few streets down from both TMINO + Micro Museum and very cool to see a shout out here! Well worth doing both in a day as they're next to each other.
