In the heart of Silicon Valley, in the midst of many other world-famous companies, this very large structure is certainly noteworthy. Here is Intels technical office but also a beautiful museum in which to retrace the history of processors and the company that made history over the past 51 years.Absolutely not to be missed, I recommend to all especially to computer technicians and technology experts this training course. Go there in the morning or early afternoon, you will be visiting here for about 2 hours at most :)

A must visit in Silicon Valley. Great to see what drives the valley. Very good intro to silicon technology for those who dont have much background. Look our for the guided tours. Only reason for 4 stars is that they could make it even more detailed to make the visitors understand the complex technology behind silicon chips!

Marveling at the best minds of the world. As we go through the exhibits in the museum, giving us detailed chronological ordered description of the history of the founders and development of Intel, stories of the very difficult and challenging decision makings were unfolded in front of us. Imagining the cofounders working on the heart of computers in 1968 when people then had not even the faintest idea what a computer was!! The visit was very inspirational and motivational.來逛Intel，深感佩服！

Great museum, does a great job of showing the history of Intel and how technology came to be. Free parking and free admission. Would recommend planning for about an hour to walk through.

Friendly staff, some great exhibits and great price.

Fantastic museum. Some of exhibits of great inventors were being displayed and detailed.

As an electrical engineer I thought this was an interesting museum and fun to explore. Its not very big and wouldnt suppose it would be very amusing for small children (under 10) unless theyre big into technology and electronics. They have a few interactive displays in the museum that is also fun to play with (like the binary spelling machine). The beat part about the museum is that its free! Enjoy!

Bit disappointing that it was a very small place considering 60years of pathbreaking innovation even eclipsing other more established companies of its era. I expected it to be much bigger in size.Anyway it did offer a very quick and short history of all key milestones at Intel and also provided a brief glimpse of the personal history behind Gordon Moore and Robert Noyce.They also had a souvenir shop with a lot if trendy and contemporary products with Intel branding.

Its a good place if you are a technology enthusiast. You can cover the whole museum in detail in one hour it isnt that much of a space. While I was there, there was a group of students on a tour and the guide was explaining how the chip making process works and what does it mean to be in a clean suit . that was very interesting. the augmented reality gadgets are really cool. There is a small gift shop if you want to pick a souvenir.

Its a good place to know Intels history and get an insight into the chip making and lab works... the history of Intel is described in detail and they have small augmented reality gadgets which would make your trip worth it. I wouldnt say it is a must-see in San Jose but if you have an hour to spare and dont know what to do then this is definitely a good place to visit

One of very few place in Silicon Valley open for public from tech firm there. Worth to visit

I really do not know much about computers but I found the exhibit very interesting. I liked the cool interactive exhibits and I loved the pictures of the original staff/visionaries. Very nice staff and pretty good gift shop.

Great museum. It has a lot of information to learned.

The museum was not so big. 30 min would be enough for here. However, it shows good summary of what the semiconductors are and what Intel does. I and my 10 years old daughter enjoyed experiences in here!

We had so much fun here. The staff really enjoyed teaching the kiddo everything he was willing to learn. We got some great pics in head to toe gear and a fun time was had by all. I would say no more than an hour would be needed for the average family, so it is a fantastic stop if youre on a road trip. It was a BIT difficult to get into the parking lot, so it helps to have a navigator in the passenger seat who can tell you when to turn, or you might end up back on the freeway. Yikes!

I was a bit underwhelmed with this museum. With as many products and innovations that Intel has had, I expected more information and more effective interactive exhibits. I know it is hard to compete with the nearby Computer History Museum (which I recommend over this one), but Intel needs to up their game.

Nice overview of processor industry history.A lot can be learned for beginners. But also, experience visitors will have what to look and learn.There is also nice shop with quality products on moderate prices.Admission is free, that was nice and should stay like that.

Well designed exhibits tell the history and fame of Intel, its accomplishments, and founders. The gift shop has worthwhile gifts for all ages. I was pleased to see a small group of school kids were enjoying their field trip to the museum. Their Intel guide had complete attention of every student. The museum takes a pleasant hour to see the exhibits.

Fascinating museum. Yes, it is free. It is to an extent a marketing ploy by Intel, but that doesnt mean that it isnt super interesting. After all, Intel has dominated the processor market for so many years, its history is the the history of the industry in most respects. You will have a great time there!

A great spot to go. They introduce semiconductor in a quite simple way that everyone can catch up.You can also try on bunny suit there

It is not big, but quite interesting to watch how big role intel has play in IC history.

Small but packed with amazing mankind transformation in the use of semiconductor on almost all our devices now. Being an ex inteler also brings back some amazing memories.

Organized in a loop starting with the early history of Intel and its founders, through manufacturing, and product history

It is a small interesting musuem that shows the history of intel chips and how chips are manufactured.

Learned so much from this museum. Very grateful for the people who made it and offering it for free to the public. My family enjoyed every minute there. You get to see the process of manufacturing the chips and even get a chance to dress up with the bunny suit and get that feel of what is it you work in fully sterile environment. We saw and touched the pure silicon (Si) that gave the name of the whole area and turned it into the world famous Silicon valley :) Learned a lot about the accomplishments of Intel and there are some interactive areas too that kids enjoyed a lot.

A great collection of what Intel has made over the years. Has almost every possible product which revolutionized the entire computer industry. Would definitely recommend it anyone who loves computers or electronics.

Liked it because I know the industry. Figure it is quite hard to make the public understand the magic if all chips look the same from the outside. Think Intel did a good job in that, though it is hard to spark some excitement.

Quick stop for the kids but interesting for adults too. Only spent about 40 minutes here and we pretty much did everything you can do including letting the kids dress up in the clean lab gear. Had a nice gift shop with some fun coding gear. Fun explaining some of the old school tech to the kids.

Great place for visit. Here you could see history of Intel company development and their products. Very interesting part of exhibition was related to the production process of microprocessors. There are interactive exhibitions. Recommend for one time visit.

The Intel museum details the 50 years of history of Intel corporation and is located in their headquarters. The museum is fairly small, more so a large room, but its free. If you were to read every plaque it would maybe take you an hour to finish. The museum details products and technologies developed and sold through Intels history. There are also a few interactive exhibits. If youre in the area, its worth stopping by. You can also visit the gift shop and pickup a souvenir.

Open Monday- Saturday for sure, not sure about Sunday. It’s a small Museum on the first floor of the building, there are some cool things to get geeked out at “ for me it was the 270lb silicon round thingy lol” overall it’s an ok place to visit if you are in the area otherwise I’d say meh just skip it.

Free museum that has a store attached. There are signs that point to visitor parking and to the museum. Shows a variety of components from Intels early years as well as a progression to modern tech. There are also a few interactive exhibits that are good for kids.

Wow, if you use any phone or computer, this is a must see... worth your time investment!

Great museum which doesnt touch only Intel capabilities but also a piece of semiconductors history. I appreciated the description of cleanroom life, I would have liked to see more about packaging since it is a bit overlooked. The museum is for free which is for sure a good point to add.

During my stay in silicon valley, we visited the Intel HQ. Great experience and definitely worth a visit. So much history and future in on place.

Excellent museum with lots of family lines intel chipset explanation. Capsules identification through glass. Clean room specification and processor final output working transistor basic Moore law and lots good stuffs.dont miss it if your in santa Clara.I liked it

A calm little museum about Intel history and their microprocessors. You can learn and see various stages of microprocessor manufacturing.I learned about microprocessors and its manufacturing in my college education. I only knew about them in ugly figures and diagram. So I was delighted to actually see it in real life in the museum. But at the same time, it brought those horrible memories of how much i hated the subject and the struggles to learn it and clear the exams.There is a little shop in the museum with Intel branded goodies and clothes. They are quite expensive.There is not much interesting going in there. But microprocessor geeks might find it very interesting.

Very interessting and free intrance good Intel items in the giftshop.

Good palace for visiting

Doesn´t worth the time to visit it. Prices of all merchandising items are ridiculous high.

The advancement of our everyday technology started with intel. How it all began and people that made it so. Its a lovely place to see the tech progression from the 8080 series to today... If you love Technology you need to see it here...

Loved it and the gift shop.

Tour guide was amazing! Very interesting delivery of information. Gift shop also has very nice items.

Interesting and Interactive museum, its free and worth it

Intels story is one of innovation and success. From humble beginnings to a tech giant. Must watch. Free entrance

Loved this free museum Intel has at this location. Having been in several of their clean rooms in the past, its neat to see things clearly explained in their process and how things work. Would definitely stop in if youre a nerd at heart like myself!

Really nice area to learn about how Intel was founded.. only thing is no free wifi... :(

Great museum if you have the time to check it out and read everything I was on a time crunch but was extremely happy with my visit alot of interactive items I wish I could have participated in... But overall it was nice

Nice place to visit with kids and students. The museum is free and welcomes class field trips. Great idea to bring in the community and educate others about the beginning of the computer chip. Maybe it will inspire future engineers.

Cool and interesting facts. They made Wrinkles talk!! Glad I went!

Free to the public. Very good history of Intel tech and founders. Probably a 30-60 minute tour depending on your pace and crowds.

Free admission, free parking.Great to learn about Intel history. Some fun interactive exhibits as well as photo ops.

The only place of silicon valley where they had something to offer besides a store (talking about Apple, Google...).There is a small museum and in the outside they had 3D simulation zone, which was fun. We were the only ones outside so all the focus was on us.

Intel has a really interesting and informative small museum on site. Along with a store for purchasing Intel branded merchandise. Being X-pats of Silicon Valley and having never seen the giants of the valley in the 20 years we lived near by, we spent a day to see Intel, Google, Apple and Facebook. Of all the location Intel was the most interesting because of its museum. Apple and Google are basically just stores. Facebook is just a lowly sign since it has no location for the general public to visit.

Nice place to go to for free :) cool history museum ,,,nice gift shop ,,,,even the lobby and courtyard have interesting things such as the fans on top of the building and lobby has cool video graphics. Thank you !

Good quick visit. It small, but good information. Prices on store are good.

This is a fun little museum. Its free. It has exhibits relating to the founders of Intel and how Intel manufactures silicon chips. They had some old fossils -- 486 chips and a calculator that went back some years--- that brought back a little nostalgia. The kids who were visiting appeared to enjoy the exhibits --- particularly the clean room garb. Im not a techie, and there was a little too much detail on some of the exhibits. But there were some interesting gadgets in the store, including a pad that helps to keep my cell phone on my cars dashboard.

A rather small museum but very well done from the didactic standpoint! Congratulations!Especially people not at all into computers learn about the scale of sizes, what 22nm actually means. You also see a silicon ingot from which the wafers are sliced.The personnel is incredibly helpful full of knowledge.It is not a museum to have hundreds of yards of walk, it is very condensed. But you see that Intel even produced watch circuits in the beginning - and also the CPU of the Altair. You will learn how chips are manufactured.Spend time watching the videos and learn.Admission is completely free of charge. Be careful to park your car onto the visitor parking. there is a sign for Museum Visitors.

Very impressed for a free museum. Some of it felt like an ad but thats expected when youre at the companys own museum. If you have anything to do with hardware for hobby or work, this is a must see.

Fascinating little museum, a must if you visit Silicon Valley.

A hidden gem! I love to walk around this place and get inspiration to work even harder and smarter.

It was something to do for sightseeing within walking distance. Ok to see once. Makes you appreciate your computer and cell phone!

A small museum with exhibits of Intels microprocessors and its 50 years history. It will really around 45 mins to an hour to see the place. They have some interactive exhibits with AR which are entertaining to kids and adults.

Great place to read up about the history of Intel. My kid enjoyed the interactive activities.

Nice little museum to spend 30 minutes or so. Free entry and helpful staff.

Fascinating trip through technology history.

Free museum with a good experience.

Small, but pleasent museum. Friendly and talkative stuff. You can try on an Intel uniform - thats fun

Piece of history and some explanation on what it takes to build a CPU, theres parking, restrooms, its a place that expect people to actually visit, not like Facebook and some other companies there.

Maybe this place is under renovation? But on our June 2019 visit there were a number of exhibits that were not working. The binary code machine wasnt working. The binary rain wasnt going. The exhibit that showed how they created the signature Intel sound is gone...Are they shifting towards a more mature clientele? It seems like exhibits for younger children arent being included in the upkeep.

Fun to visit, free, and informative about the process of creating electronic components. Fairly basic, but worth a short visit if you are nearby.

Amazing collection ! Worth paying a visit if you are in Santa Clara.

Cute museum.Free entrance.IMO more suitable for kids.

Very interesting. The exhibits are well explained on how silicon chips are made. Best of all is free.

Interesting interactive exhibits. Small place but fun.

Modern museum for the Intel history but really small on the other hand. And no look into future technologies. They stop at the Intel Core i processorrs. We had a guided tour with a good guide but we only need 30 minutes.

Fun bit of computer history. If youve ever wondered whats in a chip its worth a visit. Go into the Intel RNB building main entrance, door is on the left. No need to go through security or anything.

I am Intel fan and was dream for me be at a place where it all started and to see how the semiconductor technology has grown at Intel all these tears. Im also a Masters student who is studying to have a career in the semiconductor industry so it was perfect for me.

An awesome museum showing the evolution of computer technologies especially computer processors. And it is free too!

Amazing information for your kids and you on how the semiconductor and especially Intel has shaped the course of IC, there is a photo booth a good section of history and present day Intel and overall a must goto for anyone, no entry fees and makes for a great visit for your kid. It has a good Intel souvenir shop attached to it

It’s easy to understand the history of Intel!

Interesting. Mainly focused on the manufacturing process and how it has changed. Lots of the museum seemed to be showing how great intel was. Its also very small and I recommend you visit the computer museum that is relatively close by.

This museum is fascinating! We had so much fun here!!

Nice place and lots of interesting museums in the area! Highly recommend to visit

If you are visiting Intel offices for the first time, dont miss the Intel Museum. Pretty cool!

Interesting place and not only for geeks. Plus they have a gift shop, where you can buy really high quality products from branded ballpens to hoodies.

It is wonderful experience. Even though small space but worth to learn and understand 50 years of history of Intel. I was able to see 8085/8086 microprocessors . It reminds me my college days when I write my first code on these microchips.I am able finish my tour in 1.5 hours. My recommendation to visit and explore if you live in near by area..You can also visit the gift shop and pickup a souvenir.

You’ll learn so many things, don’t hesitate if you have the can to go there

Just his development history, not too many items. Can learn about its past.

A museum focuses on the development history of semi-conductor industry. Pretty informative and concise.

If you are in the area and a electronics geek like me this is worth visiting.

Pretty cool. Lots of neat artifacts.

One of the few companies that have a decent visitors center and a history museum in the valley.

Intel Museum is simply amazing. I really enjoyed seeing the progress that we have made from 3.2 microns to 7 nm chips.The museum has a lot of interesting and interactive activities that include 4G vs 5G speed demo, AR funny stuff, Intel Bunny Suit cutouts for taking pictures, etc.It also has 2 Pokemon Go Gyms and 3 PokeStops. Have fun people!

Very nice and inviting. Did I mention its FREE! Parking its also free...A good spot for the whole family. A plus its it has a gift shop

Very educational. Amazing history on how chips are designed and manufactured.

Really nice, free , and educational , Shop isnt much of a rip off , teaches all about intel and the evolution of the semiconductor.

A really nice experience, the museum in fact is little. So if you go by your own in less than 1 hours youre finishing with the visit.

It’s free and able to learn the history of chips. Need car to visit but worth it.
