- LokiLaaLaaMilton Keynes, United Kingdom355 contributionsFascinatingNot been for around 15 years and it has had a massive upgrade since then. Started with a tour by one of the wonderful volunteers and it was a great insight into life there. Loved wandering around the house, huts and museum. Informative displays and great films. Good for all ages and the kids were clearly enjoying the interactive displays. Allow around 4 hours and prebook afternoon tea if you fancy a treat.Visited September 2023Traveled with friendsWritten September 10, 2023
- Sean OSudbury, United Kingdom58 contributionsInterestingThe whole place was excellent and really interesting. Spent three hours here with ease. Food in the restaurant was good and prices on a par with NT. The visit was free as we booked under the heritage scheme. HOWEVER, I think the usual charge of ÂŁ25-50 is just not worth it and if we had to pay we would not have bothered. Good day though.Visited September 2023Traveled with friendsWritten September 12, 2023
- dave811312 contributionsAmazing!Spent nearly 5 hours here without realising that time had passed. Thought I knew a fair bit about what happened at Bletchley from reading books but still learned a huge amount on top. What is particularly good is that it explains things at multiple levels so if you just want the outline of how something was done there is a 2-3 minute video, but if you want to get into the detail there are exhibits that do that too. Fascinating to walk in the actual blocks and huts that everything took place. We had a 1 hour guided tour by Mike that was absolutely brilliant - could have listened to him all day. Overall, worth every penny and will definitely be back.Visited September 2023Traveled with familyWritten September 18, 2023
- andrewbarnard53Chester, United Kingdom27 contributionsA really good attraction, but mind boggling!There is a lot more here than just the house and the huts. The muti-media that they have created is first class. Some of the stories are repetitive, but you might need it to understand the magnitude of what they did there. The brain power (and luck) that went into what they did, in absolute secrecy, is just mind-blowing.Visited October 2023Traveled soloWritten October 1, 2023
- 12345Chris12345Ashford, United Kingdom2 contributionsA great day out.Brilliant two days spent at a really interesting site. So much to see we spent a day there then returned the following day (the tickets last for a year). Really great displays and very helpful staff. Recommend the free one hour tour which sets everything in context with a really helpful and knowledgeable guide.Visited October 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten October 1, 2023
- Andrew SDorchester, United Kingdom33 contributionsVery informativeThe visit was excellent, well organised in a nice environment. We recommend that you book onto a free guided tour early on in your visit (about an hour). So much information to take in you realy need to come back on second occasion. If you want to eat in Hut 4 make sure you get there early as options can be limited later. Would recommend a visit to all at least once.Visited September 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten October 3, 2023
- Ann HYork, United Kingdom2,524 contributionsMust do for history buffs!This place is a must do for anyone with an interest in WW2 history. There is so much to take in that one day is really not long enough. We spent over 5hours and could have stayed a lot longer. It's incredible to think how the brains that worked there changed the war in many ways with the code breaking and much more. The actual house itself is beautiful and there are many other huts with exhibitions to look at. Two cafes and a gift shop are also nice to go to.Visited September 2023Traveled with familyWritten October 4, 2023
- Clay WSan Diego, California85 contributionsWonderful time at Bletchley ParkWe visited Bletchley Park during the recent re-enactment weekend. My wife & I had a most enjoyable time. Everything that you can see and experience at Bletchley Park was complemented so wonderfully by the visitors who came dressed for the WW II period. We especially enjoyed running into "Sir Winstan Churchill" at the Park, as my wife's father had met him briefly during WW II as a US Navy photographer traveling with Pres. Roosevelt. Allow yourself ample time (at least 4 hours) to wander through the estate and figure you will still want to return to see what you cannot see in one visit.Visited September 2023Traveled with familyWritten October 5, 2023
- Tina WPortland, Oregon9 contributionsA must-see destinationAfter watching Imitation Game and the Bletchley Circle series, this was a must see on my first trip to the UK. I was impressed and blown away at the presentation of life in Bletchley Park during WWII. I bought books in the gift shop. I wish I had more money to buy more books. I took a picture and bought on line when I got home. While everything was amazing I have to say the AHA moment was the small room where I learned about the homing pigeons. The presentation video and the display items kept me there the longest. I wish I knew kids who needed to write a book or report because this is one that would fascinate anyone. I would go again on my next visit if the mansion was open.Visited September 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten October 7, 2023
- Colin E Photography357 contributionsGood value for money, really nice house and buildings, really helpful and interesting staffGood price to get in, people forget they need to pay for the up keep of the building and pay staff. Very nice house to see and the other buildings have a lot of interesting things in them. The buildings and grounds are very well kept. All the staff and volunteers were really interesting to talk to and know what they are talking about, you can tell they enjoy being there.Visited October 2023Traveled with familyWritten October 17, 2023

Visited Bletchley Park as we have wanted to visit for a very long time. Finally got round to it! It was worth the wait. Brilliant attraction to visit. Social distancing measures work really well and felt safe - very well organised.
The attraction itself was engaging and very interesting. Really gave you an appreciation of what it was like and the fantastic contribution was made to the war effort. The outstanding point made was how they got the information they did from virtually nothing! What incredible, amazing people were at Bletchley. I can't express the level of my respect for them.
Well worth a visit. The entry fee also gives you free access for further visits for 12 months!!!

Been meaning to come here for ages and my mum bought us tickets for my birthday - thanks, Mum!! It is so big - your tickets are changed for a yearly pass so we plan on returning again soon. The work done here was breathtakingly hard and intense and clearly helped us win the war. All the hits are fascinating and the history of the mansion really interesting. The interactive exhibits were fun to do and they start as soon as you enter the main entrance. It was so good to see the stories of those that worked so hard (and so secretly) being given prominence amongst the more well-known codebreakers like Turing, Knox and Flowers. They give very detailed explanations of how codes were broken and the process from start to finish which encompassed outstations, dispatch riders, etc. Nice to see the Poles were given several mentions for their pioneering work that started off the cracking of the mysteries of the Enigma. I’ve read lots about Bletchley and this place made me realise how much we owe to those who worked here. A fabulous place to visit and lovingly restored and maintained. The cafe was lovely too with some lovely food on offer. We spent at least 5 hours here but plan to return and to visit the computing museum which has a separate entry fee. Brilliant place!!

I visited Bletchley with my elderly parents and I was really disappointed with the whole experience.
On arrival there was a long wait at the ticket desk despite pre booking tickets. Having made it through we watched the introductory video and then joined a long queue to move on, caused by a bottleneck of people all wanting to read the display boards and participate in the limited interactive displays. Next we queued for headsets for the audio tour. I am normally a big fan of these but I found the ones at Bletchley to be confusing and badly under used. Normally you start at a set point, start the guide and then it tells you when to move on and where to start it again. This one had no clear start point for any of the guides. They also didn’t work inside the buildings. The map we were given was also really unclear and half the buildings weren’t included in the description so we had no idea what was inside them. When we did get inside the buildings then they were full of display boards with masses of text on and a few cabinets with machines in them. Apart from Alan Turings office there was no recreation of what it was like there during the war. All the buildings we went in all seemed to have the same sort of content.
The buildings were very spread out which is understandable but that made it hard for my dad to walk around, especially as there was so much standing around needed inside to read the boards. There was also a lot of queuing required, although we were told visitor numbers were restricted due to covid, so I would hate to think what the queues are like on a normal day. There were wheelchairs for hire but as I was already pushing mum in her wheelchair then I couldn’t manage a second one. It would have been so much better if you could pre-book mobility scooters as we had done the day before at Duxford.
It would also have been better if the audio guide was set up to use inside the rooms to save a lot of standing around, and if the map clearly listed what was in each building so we could have prioritised what we wanted to see. We could also have preferred more interactive exhibits. There were some available for use but they seemed very slow and cumbersome to use so we just gave up.
We were really disappointed as Bletchley had been on our bucket list for a while but despite the high entrance fee, we found it all rather dull. It has so much more potential if more thought was put into the displays, the audio guide, the interactive exhibits and disabled facilities

Everyone knows what happened here so just a few practical tips. Use the post code MK3 6DZ which is the train station and then follow the easy signs.
Do pick up one of the audio guides as they also show videos/ interviews/archive footage etc and give an introduction to each attraction. They are free.
Arrive early as it gets busier later in the morning and parking could be difficult.
Take a picnic as the cafe is expensive sandwiches ÂŁ6.95 with a side salad. All day breakfast ÂŁ11.50
Wear comfortable shoes and warm water proofs this time of year. There is a lot of walking.
The computer museum is just up the road for an extra fee.
Pace yourself as there is so much to see and take in. If you live within a reasonable distance it is worth coming back at another time as your ticket will give you free entry for a year.
If you only go once look for deals; we got Travelzoo vouchers for ÂŁ11.50.

Having visited a few years back, I was looking forward to re-visiting to meet up with my friend. We booked for 10am and only had a short wait before going in to get tickets. I was very impressed with how it was all set up and the were limiting numbers in the huts to allow social distancing. We were advised to visit huts 11 and 11a early as they were expecting queues later. Your ticket is classed as an Annual Pass, although you will still need to pre-book a slot. I like that I noticed things I hadn’t seen before but more importantly, it gave my friend and I, a great environment to sit, eat our picnic and catch up without being overcrowded. The weather was kind and Bletchley have put lots of picnic benches and deckchairs out so I highly recommend taking a picnic. There is a large marque in case the weather isn’t so great. Well done on making us feel safe and for keeping this wonderful part of history going.

I booked up online to attend Bletchley Park and this was a straightforward process. The nearest train station is Bletchley which is a very short walk to Bletchley Park. Before exploring I had a toastie and coffee in the cafe at the entrance. There’s also a second cafe on the other side of the site. Using a smart phone you can download the menu and order and purchase your choice. I then spent around 4 hours exploring. There is a lot to see and I believe I may have missed areas so I recommend putting aside a few hours to visit. The one downside was the cost of refreshments which was eye watering. There are plenty of deck chairs and picnic tables to relax at and a lovely lake. I also recommend seeing the classic cars behind the house. Special mention must be made about the staff. The staff I spoke to were all friendly and knowledgeable and made me feel very welcome. Also, if you keep your ticket you have admission for a year. Interesting place to visit and friendly staff. Thank you Bletchley Park.

I’ve been wanting to visit Bletchley for years and it was worth the wait! We spent about two hours in the museum and then about 3 hours going around the other exhibits. The Covid measures slowed things down a bit as we occasionally had to wait to get into certain huts, or to view certain bits of information, but the spaces never felt crowded and everyone maintained social distance. We saw people sanitising areas on several occasions.
The information was well presented, with some interactive options. The staff were friendly and knowledgable. It was fascinating to see the equipment used and the different aspects of the work done, although I’ll never be able to think that way myself. This truly was a remarkable operation.
The only negative was an appalling cup of tea from hut 4. After holding the queue up with all the faffing around with the fancy coffees, the tea consisted of filling a cup with hot water and then adding the teabag at the same time as the milk. Result - a wishy washy cup of slightly tea flavoured milk and water. If you’re charging nearly £3 for a cuppa, at least allow it to brew properly before adding the milk. The cryptanalysis would not have been able to do their work on this!

You will need your sat nav to find this place, housing estates have been erected all around the grounds and it can become very confusing.
Interesting insight into the wartime codebreakers and Alan Turing, allow 3 -4 hours to wander at ease. The exhibitions are situated in existing buildings so you have to go outside to reach each one, but the distance is not very far. Disabled access is good and the land reasonably flat.
A lot of the exhibits require reading which after a while can be a bit laborious, but there are some short films showing, reconstructions of rooms and an audio guide which is included in the price. For small children this may not be an ideal day out.
There is a lovely lake and gardens in the middle so if the weather is good you can take a picnic and eat outside. You pay for an annual ticket so this can be left in the car and it isn’t far to collect when ready to eat.
To be honest the “annual ticket” wheeze is rather a con, it’s unlikely the majority of visitors would either live that close they could return and there isn’t enough to take you back several times a year.
There are also two decent cafes on site and adequate clean toilet facilities plus a good sized car park.
Staff were very helpful and efficient.

Having watch & read about what BP did in the defence of us, I wasn’t expecting just how much they actually achieved on our behalf, the tour cannot be missed is a must.
The Tour guide for 11:00hrs (Saturday) his knowledge & humour was well balanced & info on BP and foreign office from WW1 and beyond was amazing to hear and was open to questions during & end of tour.
We also purchased the 14:30hrs high tea, great atmosphere, well presented table service, tasty food and welcoming staff, we had a great conversation with Lorraine, regarding BP and future plans.
Highly recommend high tea to complete a very interesting & educational day.
We would recommend 2 days to really appreciate BP, the Huts interactive displays + what each huts involvement entail.
The end of the day taking in the history and the importance of BP.
Cannot speak highly enough of the visit and will visit again.
Thank you BP

Enjoyed a great day here yesterday having wanted to go for years.
Firstly, this is a must visit for anyone wanting to sample a piece of proud British history - a truly fascinating and informative place to visit.
Secondly, during this pandemic, it was so reassuring to see the lengths taken to keep visitors and staff safe: all staff with visors; masks compulsory inside buildings; staggered entry; distance markers; sanitiser readily available etc, etc. Well done to those involved in the risk mitigation.
My only small criticisms (which prevented the 5 stars) are: the small kiosks do not accept cash and are wholly overpriced (ÂŁ1.85 for a small bottle of water which would have cost them around 20p), so even for the smallest of purchases you have to use your card. Now, I fully understand the reasons for this and do not need them pointing out, but allow customers to use cash at their own discretion for tiny purchases such as a drink or an ice cream. I have seen many innovative ways of doing this at other establishments which limits the risk of the virus spreading such as gloves and trays, etc, etc...it isn't difficult.
Additionally, it was clear that some exhibits had either been closed completely or had limited access. Again, I understand the reasoning, but I believe that this should be reflected in the price of entry.
All in all, a highly recommended day out.

Thank you for visiting Bletchley Park and taking the time to write about your experience.
Our shop and café are cashless for safety reasons to help limit the spread of Covid-19. Cashless payments are in line with current guidance. We feel this is the best way to keep both our visitors and staff safe.
In regards to the cost of entry, Bletchley Park is an independent charity that receives no regular government funding. 95% of our income is from visitors, so our closure has had a huge impact on our plans for the future. Our tickets are an Annual Season Pass which means you can return as many times as you like within 12 months, so hopefully, you can return when we are able to open more of the site. All of our exhibitions are currently open, however some of our historic spaces make social distancing tricky, so we have to ensure they are safe for all visitors which has meant some limitations.
We are pleased that you enjoyed your visit overall and hope you find those explanations satisfactory. We hope to welcome you back again soon.

Pack a little picnic as it could be a long day as there is so much to see and read. It really is worth a visit though as we found it absolutely fascinating. Enjoy your trip to the Uk.

It is free and lasts an hour - go at the start of your trip and it is good for orientation and you pick up bits you wold not know about

3 minute stroll. Come out of the station and Bletchley Park will be on your right.

Do you have to show and scan your ticket before parking? I ask because I have a joint ticket but my friend and I are travelling from different directions and in separate cars.

No you can park up first then go to the visitor centre together where you show your tickets.
