Comprehensive and informative exhibitions
Very well organised exhibitions, takes 2-3 hours to see it ! The free guided tour is recommended for more context, info and anecdotes. The afternoon tea was scrumptious in an ideal setting (mansion house lounge).

A great day out
A fascinating place to visit whether you are a computer nerd or not. Full of interesting historical facts plus much more. We also had an afternoon tea as part of the package that was tasty and themed to war time without the rationing. To visit the complete exhibition took us about 6 hours. A day out that I would certainly recommend.

A Perfect Day Out
A wonderful day out with plenty to see, helpful staff and a delicious afternoon tea. Bletchley is a very interesting and moving experience, the skills, dedication and ingenuity of the people who worked there are almost beyond belief. This was bought for us as Christmas present and it was a great one. Would highly recommend.

Fabulous day at Bletchley
I took my sister for a day out & combined with a cream tea lunch. I'm so pleased we arrived early as the estate got very busy in the afternoon. The staff & volunteers were so helpful so much to see & learn, with well kept grounds to explore. Lunch was amazing. Everything well spaced out, so the dining area was not too busy. The table was pre-set. Lovely vibe with the 40s music in the background. The sandwiches were wonderful & cakes just devine. We were so full. Highly recommended day out.

Fantastic place to visit
We had this as a gift from our daughter and son-in-law. After waiting nearly a year to visit, it did not disappoint. Very interesting to see all of the exhibits, set in beautiful grounds to wander around. Afternoon Tea in the mansion house was lovely.

A wonderful day out in beautiful surroundings
We very much enjoyed our day in Bletchley Park, if you’re interested in cryptography and problem solving quizzes, you’ll love the many interactive exhibits throughout. The history of the location is presented in an engaging way and there is so much to take in so you should take your time. We had afternoon tea in the opulent wood bedecked mansion and found the whole experience wonderful. A true British gem we are very grateful for.

Excellent need more than one visit
We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and afternoon tea. We booked it for noon and thought it might be too early but were pleased as it gave us the rest of the day to explore and enjoy. It is very atmospheric and the time just whizzes by as you try to read and understand all that went on. We have a pass for a year and will definitely be returning, perhaps with friends as we would love them to enjoy it as much as we did. Covid precautions were excellent and we felt very safe.

An excellent day out the afternoon tea was very good and service staff were also excellent . The park and exabits' were very good, will need to go back and devote more time to the huts and shows. (Note I walk very slowly hence the need for more time)

Definitely worth a visit
With timed arrival slots, plenty of sanitizer and fresh air between huts, we felt comfortable all day and could do things in our own time. Amazing place, staff were friendly and knowledgeable and the buildings were easy to navigate and so informative. The free audio sets were a bonus. Afternoon tea was included in our Gift Package. We were quickly seated, our pre-advised dietary requirements were met and the food was delicious. In all, a wonderful day out.

Brilliant Day
On arrival we were met by a very informative lady at the booking in,and she said she had another surprise for us and out tickets were a pass for 12 months which was a wonderful surprise. The grounds were tidy and the huts were very informative. We had a guided tour round with Micheal K.. who was brilliant, his stories were very clear and well said. We had afternoon tea in the Mansion which( was great and tasty. We will be visiting again to see the rest of the huts that we didn’t get round.

Inspirational day out
This is an amazing place. I didn’t know that thousands of people worked at Bletchley Park during the Second World War. Those people were sworn to secrecy about the work that went on there, I find it mind boggling that they didn’t speak to their family or friends about it, (I can’t imagine that being the case today). There is so much to see in the “huts”. The grounds are lovely with a lake and lots of benches around. The delicious Afternoon Tea was served in a beautiful room in The Mansion.

Fascinating day
Thoroughly enjoyable visit to Bletchley park. Displays were interesting and informative. Beautiful grounds. Like that you could go into the work huts and the fact that the exhibits were not roped off like they are in most museums. Afternoon tea in the mansion house was fabulous.

Visit to Bletchley Park
It is some time since I visited the Park and a considerable amount of money has been spent on doing the place up and increasing the number of exhibits. We had a very enjoyable day with a 'tea' in the early afternoon. This was a formal sit down affair with a tower of cakes and sandwiches. My only small was the undrinkable coffee served in cardboard mugs at the entrance café. Otherwise , a really good day out and highly recommended.

More than you can fit into a day :-)
A really interesting and informitive museum, spread over a large site withmany exhibits trying to recreate their original setting. Too much to take in during one visit, but thankfully the tickets remain valid for a full year, so a second visit is on-the-cards ;-) Walking tour was really interesting, with a well-informed and witty guise. Good weather helped as there is a lot of walking between buildings.

A Birthday gift.
A really good historical record of the dedication and effort needed to smash Hitlers plans to rule. Without these brilliant mathematical geniuses and engineers breaking enemy codes, our people would have suffered more harm. An excellent display.

What a great experience. The afternoon tea was delicious, service was great and made even better by the period music playing. Then we walked it off looking around Bletchley. This was really well presented and brought alive well. I can’t wait to go back.

Superb War Time Venue
It gives you a feel of what it was like for the heroic people who worked at this wonderful place during World War Two. Their expertise and courage helped to bring about the downfall of Hitler. To visit the place where it all happened was truly wonderful. Then to have a lovely tea rounded off a great day. Thank you very much.
