What a great museum! Admission is free and the museum is very well put together. They do a great job of trying to keep the visit fun for kids. There is an app you can download and special decoding areas to keep the kids engaged.

Cool museum with a lot of history you don't see elsewhere. Call ahead about a tour, the number is on the website. It's a bit hit or miss, but if you can get one, the tours are amazing. They are done by former NSA employees and they do an outstanding job. There is also a working Enigma from WW2 you can actually use, which is pretty interesting and a critical piece of history come alive. Can't recommend this enough if you are even remotely interested in the subject. It was a fantastic experience and a collection you won't see elsewhere.
I loved this museum. Craig was amazing. Very helpful and knowledgeable. I really appreciate his time. The sweet lady working in the gift shop was great too. The amount of awesome information, artifacts, and everything they have here..... One of my favorites in the area. I am so glad that I was able to make it to visit. It's really great for those who are interested in intelligence and espionage and how our people are working to keep us safe. The library is...... amazing. So many good books.
Go with the guided tour, the guides are incredibly friendly, willing to answer questions, but good people. Like many museums run by the Fed govt, it's free to go through, and you can even use the Enigma machine hands on. You do not need to go past the guard gate at Fort Meade to get to the museum, which makes it just a little easier. Check it out when in the area.
A deceptively small museum. You can spend hours learning the history of the technology and the people involved with cryptology and cryptanalysis from their beginnings through today. Lots of hands-on exhibits for school-aged kids (and up :). Docent-led tours packed with information - call for timing. There is also an amazing library covering all topics in the field you are free to browse and read. A very well-curated and well done museum.
Something for everyone. Family friendly! The staff was knowledgeable and readily available to answer any questions as well as make sure we didn’t miss anything. They have a cryptokids challenge to engage kids throughout the museum. Great experience and will be back again!
Great little museum showcasing codes and code breaking over thousands of years. Adding more authenticity are the guides who are ex NSA employees involved in code breaking! Well worth dropping in to.
Amazing place! So much history and artifacts open to the public. Even got to use an Enigma machine.
