Reviews of InfoAge - Science History Learning Center and Museum (Museum)

Paul Filanowski

I very much enjoyed my visit to the military transportation museum. I learned a great deal from my visit! I will definitely return and bring friends with me! Thanks Rick and the team!

I spent the most amazing afternoon with my kids at this Learning Center / Museum! The volunteer staff was so helpful and included my kids in the descriptions and explanations of each exhibit. So many of the exhibits and presentations are actually hands-on! We are all looking forward to returning many times to get to the exhibits we haven't seen yet, as well as to experience everything again.

What a treasure trove of inventions, ideas, and the unique, interesting and practical items on display. The staff could not have been more friendly and helpful to explain and answer questions. We visited mid June 2017, because my wife's father had worked his career there as a Ph.D. physicist after WWII. We will be back!

Great museum! Lots of military stuff, very helpful friendly docents explain the exhibits. A real NJ Gem!

Lars Brown

Small but truly awesome! Volunteers were right out of 'Big Bang Theory' tv show: very knowledgable, bright, friendly and great with my 7 & 8 yr old kids. Exhibits were the real deal.

It's an incredible place for museum lovers and the staff was VERY child friendly. It is a well presented museum dedicated to the history of electronics, with a great collection ranging from the first radios, through TV and computers. There's also a separate NJ shipwreck collection and displays documenting the development of radar in World War 2, which took place right here. And for the kids they have a ''hands on'' area to help them understand how this stuff works. It's hard to believe that there is a museum of this quality in such an unlikely place.

Great one

I really enjoyed this place, located at Camp Evans. One entrance fee housing many different museums, radios, WWII warfare, miniature scenes, old computers and rooms with exhibits on Marconi, Native Americans, African Americans working here at Camp Evans, combat vehicles. Good variety. We went in Sunday and the hours are from 1 -5. When you depart, turn right and head over to the Diana site where a radio wave was sent to the Moon and came back in 2.5 seconds. It was closed after 5 pm but still nice to see the giant dish. Run by volunteers who are passionate about telling the stories behind the items. Would've been nice to be able to spend more time at each exhibit. Very unique site.

A hidden gem, everyone should experience this museum and the history it contains! A must go for all ages!

Daniel Acosta

Super informative museum. Everyone from kids to the elderly will enjoy their time. Abundance of tech that anyone will have an interest in and have difficulty restraining yourself from touching everything. From the earliest (super)computers to communication media to wartime vehicles, you’ll be satisfying your curiosity here. What’s even better is the staff: they’re more than happy to explain what’s on display and even show demonstrations!

Patrick Robbins

Great place. Fascinating information.So much to do. Would definitely recommend. Only wish business hours were longer so it was possible to see it all.

Chris Etler

Awesome museum. A must for anyone interested in computers/ radio technology. The maritime section is cool too

Martin Ducksworth

One rainy weekend you owe it to yourself to visit this place!

James Bennett

This place is great, there is a large amount of stuff to look at and it is all interesting. The volunteers are awesome. I cant wait to come back, so much fun.

"Preserve, educate and honor scientific innovation and history to inspire new generations of thinkers, dreamers and visionaries." A great place to see and learn about technology and science. See everything from Early MAC to Early NASA tech. ALso learn how this base in NJ helped win the WW2

Theresa Lieb

Plenty to see!

Pamela White

Very interesting and informative. Each museum is independently operated but just one admission fee. Very knowledgeable volunteer docents. A LOT of walking.

This place is a real hidden gem in the area. It may not seem like much, even from the inside at first, because it's so segmented. I thought so when I first walked in. But after exploring and speaking with the various volunteer experts there, I feel like I have to tell people about it. The exhibits are spread out between different rooms and buildings - the place is actually massive in both size and scope. InfoAge covers so many different things - military communication and radar, as well as various military technology, model trains, shipwrecks, vintage computers, antique radio and TV, military vehicles, and probably much more that I've forgotten. As I said, everything is split into different sections and buildings, so it almost feels like you're visiting a bunch of different museums that just happen to be in one place. Everyone I spoke with was super knowledgable and took their time to explain the exhibits and items that were there. As for the buildings, they are listed as a National Historic Landmark, so even just walking through them is a cool experience in itself. The buildings were originally built by the American Marconi Company that dealt with wireless communications and telegraphs, and after passing through a few owners became an Army camp with various laboratories used during WWII and the Cold War. The history here is very deep and filled with exciting firsts and discoveries that are really worth learning more about. Overall, this place is a must visit, especially if you're from the area. I learned a lot and I'm already excited to go back and see more.

InfoAge is a National Historic Landmark right here in New Jersey at Wall Twp. They have a huge “Satellite Dish” at the InfoAge Space Exploration Center or ISEC. The Diana-Tiros site at InfoAge is where the “Moon-bounce” or Earth Moon Earth transmission occurred in 1946 heralding the dawn of the Space Age. The amazing thing is that the TLM18 Radio Dish Space Sentry Antenna, a huge 60’ Dish, is still in operation! Visitors can send thier voice to the moon and hear thier own voice bounce off of it and return back through Space! Truly to the Moon and Back! Visitors can even operate the Dish themselves to view live satellite images or even a signal from a pulsar or distant galaxy. I can think of no other place in the metropolitan area where this is possible. And all this for a $5.00 donation! InfoAge is one of a kind and really worth the trip.

This is the second time I've gone, and it was amazing!!! Bear in mind that their ACs don't work really well bc the buildings are really old, so bring Water!

Patrice Lombardo

Very interesting. The guides could not have been nicer, better informed or interesting. Enjoyable experience. Learned a lot.

Jo Grazide

Very interesting exhibits and history you can't get anywhere else

Shani Schlegel

Amazing Job by the volunteers

Buzz Gardner

There's more "Info" here than can be digested in one visit. This is a tsunami of amazing feats and facts especially if you're a science or history buff. Not the cleanest museum, but it definitely keeps it's character. The guides are very passionate and are eager to be recruited if you don't want to read everything for yourself. Makes me proud to be a native of New Jersey!

Sean Wohltman

The annual Christmas train show here is awesome for young kids...OK and for dads too!

Chad Baum

My wife and I had a great expirience. It is not very often that you have the honor to learn world war II history from a marine that was there. We had a wonderful tour from Ray. We also had a great time learning about the history of radio from Bill. He did a great job of making the history of radio interesting and easy to understand. Overall the staff was very welcoming and proud of there museum. We strongly recommend a visit. Great for both kids and adults with a lot of very i interesting and interactive exhibits.

I visited the museum during the Vintage Computer Festival, and so really only visited the radio and computing history exhibits as well as the maker space. Nonetheless, I was thoroughly impressed. The radio history museum was spectacularly organized and displayed, with many examples of technologies gone by. A number of exhibit items were working and operable by guests, including several interactive exhibits by an amateur radio club such as a working telegraph line with sounder and keys. A side room contained a Tesla coil, a hand generator which could be switched to power either an LED or incandescent light for efficiency comparison, some static electricity experiments, and other interactive items. The computer museum was a wonder, including rare items such as an Apple I as well as many unique, interesting, or obscure computers. Several were operational, including a PDP-8 and a UNIVAC 1219. Volunteers demonstrated the operation of the UNIVAC and some analog computers while we were there. One of the volunteers had worked on one of the analog computer models for many years and was s wealth of information on its operation and capabilities.
