Can't think of a better place to spend the afternoon than inside a museum on a cold, wet and rainy Saturday, right. I will enjoy seeing the old PCs of our time and all of the amazing relics of video games and history of the Roman letters as well as the alphabet in binary, that reminds me of college courses. My favorite was the poster of the 30 things the smartphones replaced, amazing if you really think about it. That's great progress for our civilization. A small non-descript green shingled side building with sale concrete stone exterior. It's not big, but each room is packed wall to wall. $17 for entry for the two of us. We got a 5-7 minute intro in the first couple of rooms. The binary computing, enigma machine, DNA 101 and the 30 items the smartphone replaced are my favorite. Amazing that we started out with tablets around 3500 BC and here were are using tablets (iPads) yet again. Full circle. Fun little off beaten museum stop here in Bozeman.

Working in the tech and computer field I was intrigued by this museum so I decided to stop by after lunch. The admission prices are as followed: - $7.50 (adults) - $4.00 (youth ages 10-17, students, seniors) - free (kids 9 and under) After paying the admission fee I was given a quick verbal tour of the first couple exhibits by one of the employees and then I set off to walk around the rest of the museum on my own. One of my favorite parts was the history and advancement of microprocessor technology and the first models of computers created in the 1980s and 1990s. Even though a lot of what I saw was familiar to me I learned a lot about just exactly how computers and robotics were used in American history from message decrypters in WW2 to the moon landing to others. Some of the artifacts in the museums are originals and donated by those who created/invented them which is cool. It's not a huge museum and it took about an hour to walk through it all. There's also a small gift shop if you want to buy a souvenir.

This was an awesome museum to check out for my family. They were geeking hard during the visit. There was so much to see in this small place. Definitely a great place to view computer and robotics history.

Not only is it free - it is a wealth of knowledge on the path we have taken in communication and the computer age. Not only does it cover written communication and the science age but it also explores coding and Military history. The robot display was most interesting - and the 4 minute video was very informative. You can't fault anything that is free, really - but this gem is full of wonderful information, clean and well organized also. Go for a visit and be amazed how far we have come in so short a period of time.

What a great find! We were in Bozeman visiting friends, skiing, eating and generally enjoying ourselves but decided to take the last day to ourselves to simply explore some new things in Bozeman with our 7 year old son. What great luck that we turned up the American Computer Museum. It doesn't look like much when you drive up, but inside there are quite a number of fantastic displays showcasing the evolution of computing and the role computing power has played in our economic and social development. My son simply couldn't believe that the very first computer took up an entire room (or that his mom used to sleep in one of those rooms on hot city nights when she was a young girl). He marveled at how cumbersome and primitive my very first video game was (magnavox odyssey) and of course, was in thrilled to be in the robotics room. I think we spent about an hour and a half there and really enjoyed ourselves. Definitely worth visiting!

I was in the area and noticed while searching for things to see and do that the ACM got ridiculously good reviews. Intrigued, I headed to check it out. Totally worth the trip. An amazing collection of interesting and odd items. I wish I'd had more time to spend here, because although the place is fairly small, there is an insane amount of material to look at and read. Don't miss if you're in Bozeman. The museum covers the history of computing and data collection from stone tablets all the way up through artificial intelligence and neural networks. You owe it to yourself to visit this place if you have any interest in technology. Mind boggling how far humans have advanced in such a short time, relatively.

This is a very informative computers museum. Vintage original stuff and the front desk guy who was working was very knowledgeable about everything. It was interesting and brought me back in time.
