    If you love seeing how electronic advances were made and how they were and are being used. You'll be glad you stopped.

    A great assembly of picture of American electronics history. The museum has many interactive components and an amazing staff. Cone early since hours are limited and there's much to see and do.

    Wow, what an amazing museum. It has everything from the very basics of how electronics work to the most advanced radar systems that military money can buy. If you're nearby, you absolutely have to check it out. They need help moving to a new location very soon so please go and donate if you can. It's an absolutely amazing museum!

    This place is really cool. It's a small museum with tons of stuff. They even have a, watchman. Check it out. Definitely worth the price and the staff are more than happy to tell you about the exhibits. There are plenty of, hands on exhibits that you can mess with. Absolutely a fantastic place to bring kids!

    I'm right across the street at a hotel I walked over but it's closed (covid) but it has huge cool things outside just that was interesting. I lived here for years and never new it was there.

    What a neat best-kept secret of Baltimore. My wife and I were bumped off a flight at BWI, but I had the Electronics Museum on my list of places to visit but we were never exactly going to be in the area until the morning of our flight home. So we directed a cab to take us there and experience all the hands-on glory of this museum. I definitely had more fun than she did, but that's okay, she knew I was excited to visit and all trip long we did things the other wanted to do and enjoyed the experience though and through, because that's what you do for the ones you love. The museum accommodated us by allowing us to store our luggage in a back room and also had some neat vintage electronics for sale. Were we not getting on a return flight the next day and me not wanting to be held up any more by TSA, the airline, or otherwise, I declined to purchase anything, no matter how badly I wanted it! Tickets were inexpensive so we left a donation for the museum as well. This is a short walk to the bus that loops between the airport and the mall, so take advantage of this like we did. The bus stop isn't immediately obvious as it is only marked by a sign, but was nevertheless convenient.

    Amazing place with lots of hands on demonstrations. Free for military and dependants. It's sponsored by NG, so it's heavy on military related electronics and has some cool old stuff.

    Loved all of the information and displays. Like walking through time.

    Really enjoyed this museum, I hope their new location is even better!

    Amazing museum for anyone interested in science and engineering. Quality of exhibits a bit uneven - some had lots of experiences and interactive elements, some were just rows of seemingly-identical radar devices. Best for 10 and up, not much for smaller children. Because it's small and not very busy, you can often get personal attention and demonstrations from museum staff.

    Can't really review it. It closed for good the Friday before I was there. Talked to a few people who worked on equipment that was in the museum. Really wish I had stopped here sooner

    A great selection of exhibits including many well thought out hands exhibits! I spent an hour there and only looked at about 15-20% of it. Will be back!

    What a wonderful museum to electronic sensing and listening technology. Though with such deep ties to Westinghouse you would think Nikola Tesla would be more discussed.

  • 5/5 Ryan F. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing, my 6 and 3 year old kids had a great time, a lot of interactive displays. Add an adult interested in all things electronic, I could easily spend hours in here.

    What a interesting and educational find while staying in an airport hotel near BWI! Visiting this museum renewed the wonders of communication and use of the electromagnetic spectrum we take for granted like radios, computers including smart phones, navigation using GPS and more. Some visitors may find the military uses described concerning.

    This is a fun museum where you can get up close to electronics that have shaped our technology over the years. I especially liked the area describing how radio capabilities helped during WWII.

    This place is a gem, and not just for Ham Radio operators. If you're interested in old military technology, old space technology, proto-microwaves, or motors made in the 1880's, don't hesitate to check this place out. There are lots of hands-on, interactive displays, although it's hard to say if your kids would find this more interesting than your parents if they are veterans.
