Family Visit to Bletchley Park
Overview
Take a trip with the family to the fascinating Bletchley Park for an insight into the once top-secret home of the World War Two Codebreakers. See where some of the smartest minds around like Alan Turing, Gordon Welchman and Bill Tutte helped turn the tide of war and discover the extraordinary achievements of the men and women who worked at Bletchley Park.
A place of exceptional historical importance, Bletchley Park is also a birthplace of modern information technology and has helped shape life as we know it today. Highlights of a visit include the restored codebreaking huts, with their WW2 interiors faithfully recreated and hands-on displays in the blocks where the masterminds from the Government Code & Cypher School (GC&CS) cracked enemy codes. Explore the beautiful grounds and historic buildings with an interactive multimedia guide and enjoy the atmospheric soundscapes, galleries and exhibitions.

Incredibly engaging from beginning to end
Really enjoyed the day, as the did all the family. I would thoroughly recommend a day here, but you need 4-5 hours at a minimum.

excellent family day out
we went to Bletchley with my 80+ year old mother in law and our 11 year old son and this visit was fascinating for us all. lots to do, very well managed, social distancing and safety measures in place but this didn't impact on our visit. staff were helpful and friendly. a thoroughly enjoyable day out.

A great visit for us and the children.
We got tickets to Bletchley Park as a gift and went with our 3 children (13, 10 and 4), and surprisingly spent 4 full hours there! The visit is scattered by themes around the site and buildings, indoor and outdoor, which made it very real and interesting and kept the children happy. We learnt so much about code breaking and discovered this fascinating side of the war, that is, dedicated people and great inventions. Thank you to the friendly staff too.

Great day out for the whole family
We recently visited as a family of 5, children aged 16, 14 & 8. I didn't expect the youngest to find the trip interested but I was quite wrong, the tablet guides were great for all ages, we all enjoyed the family games in the dining room, the staff were very kind and helpful. The question now is when can we return. The youngest would like thank the gentleman in dining room that helped her write her name in code. X

Extremely interesting
There was so much to see and do, we learnt a lot about what went on in secret, there was films, interactive activities, the staff were really informative. I loved the tin cups in the cafe plus the food was good too. The best bit is your ticket is valid for a year

A great day out!
We went as a family to Bletchley Park and it did not disappoint! There is so much to see and learn...my six year old absolutely loved it! We went during the school holidays and they had activities on for younger children, which was fantastic. Theres so much to see and do that we spent the entire day getting round it all. The staff are so knowledgable and friendly!

Excellent day out for family interested in history
I took the family out for a day trip to Bletchley park, it was an enjoyable experience for the whole family. When we arrived we booked on to a free tour and got our free audio guides. The tour was worth going on but a little too much to absorb especially for the younger children .We found the audio guides excellent and would highly recommend them. The huts were good and the interactive activities for children excellent. Icecreams lovely but priceyiWe would use the tickets to come again soon.

An interesting but mind blowing experience
We recently visited Bletchley Park and were amazed at the machinery and technology that was used to help defeat the Germans and their allies in both World wars. I'm not computer minded so I was fascinated by the achievements. Unfortunately due to the Coronavirus alot of the interactive displays were out of use. Hopefully we can return in the near future when restrictions are lifted as, unknown to us at the time, the passes last for a year with unlimited visits for the family.

A grand day out
Plenty to see at Bletchley Park, very interesting to see and hear about the people that helped to win the war (if a little wordy for younger kids). Lovely food, plenty of seating in the restaurant. Great value overall.
