A quick museum you can see in about 20 minutes, but had some interesting items showing the beginnings of Intel. A gift shop attached

Ever wondered what makes your computer tick ? well here you can find out. It's not a big place but then again you're talking about some really tiny things. If you're into computers it's quite educational.

Not bad for a free attraction (and a corporate museum) but I think that they could have done a better job of explaining some of the technical details in laymans' terms - they either went too complicated or too basic in a few places. I also think that there weren't enough interactive or imaginative exhibits - there were a lot... More

This is a fun little museum. It's free. It has exhibits relating to the founders of Intel and how Intel manufactures silicon chips. They had some old fossils -- 486 chips and a calculator that went back some years--- that brought back a little nostalgia. The kids who were visiting appeared to enjoy the exhibits --- particularly the clean room... More

Calling this a museum may be overstating it a bit. It is a 2000 sq ft space of computer and semiconductor exhibits. The exhibits are nice, and do offer younger kids some insight into the inner workings of microprocessors and cleanrooms. There is a teaching space, but we haven't used it. The best part is it is free and an... More

This was a free museum about Intel Corp from the beginning till now. It was very educational for everyone old enough to read. I loved all the educational games and novelties in the gift shop. The prices were reasonable too.

Give it a visit if you're looking for something to do. Intel has a short and very interesting history.
