Derby Computer Museum

Very nice computer and console museum with working exhibits, great for rekindling memories of 80s and 90s computing! Many display cases of older tech as well.

This Museum is such a place for nostalgic fun. Thank you to all the staff and volunteers for keeping history and all the devices alive. It's one of the best time machine I've ever been in. All the computers and consoles are working and you can play games on them. Please be kind and careful with them though, it's not easy to maintain and repair them and the staff must have spent so much money and effort to keep them going. Would really recommend everyone to go visit. And donate if you can! This is the absolute highlight of Derby for me. Thank you!!

We had a wonderful time playing classic games, especially Lemmings! A great collection of hardware and software, mostly games, on display and for play. The volunteers are friendly, knowledgeable and keep it all running smoothly.

Brilliant place to spend a few hours in Derby, and a great rainy day activity. We went with my two children under 9 and could all find something to enjoy

Thoroughly enjoyed our day at the museum today. Lots to see and do with plenty of retro gaming for those of enough to have used things like BBC Basics, Commodore 64s, NES or Windows 3.1.

Brilliant little place in the heart of the city of Derby. Well sign posted and as long as you’re good with stairs you’re in for a treat! This very unique place is perfect for kids 5+ and big kids too! Fun to experience older games from our youth and to play them alongside our kids. The place is fun, bright, well loved and thought out. You can tell the volunteers love what they do. Make sure to book in advance as it can get busy! Thanks again to the museum for a really fun time as a family for us all.

It's a niche museum with old and retro games. However, some of the screens are flickering badly and not all of the tech worked perfectly.

In response to the comment below, I did recall turning off any equipments.

In addition, the museum only opens once a week and not really disable friendly with steep stairs and no lift.
