Visit the Museum
Back in 1968, two scientists, Robert Noyce and Gordon Moore founded Intel with a vision for semiconductor memory products. Since then, Intel has established a heritage of innovation that improves the life of every person on the planet.
Visit the Intel Museum to go behind the scenes in the high-tech world of California’s famed Silicon Valley. See what it’s like inside an ultra-clean, highly-automated silicon chip factory, explore Intel’s history, and connect with technologies that give us new ways to work, learn, play, and communicate. The Intel Museum is 10,000 square feet of fun, interactive learning for children and adults.

Student and Youth Group Field Trips
Free Field Trips for Grades 2-12
Museum staff engage students and youth groups as they explore the complex world of silicon technology to help them understand how Intel is changing the way we live, work, and play. Students learn about Intel® microprocessor history, silicon chip design, chip fabrication, the clean room, and more. Interactive exhibits encourage students to explore concepts in a fun and educational manner.
Field trip programs last two hours and are tailored for grades 2–12. They include a hands-on class and a guided museum tour. Each field trip program can accommodate up to 36 students from one grade level, plus chaperones. We request at least 1 chaperone per 6 students and no more than 1 chaperone per 8 students due to space.
For school and youth groups with more than 36 students, please book 2 separate dates or select a self-guided visit.
Group Tours
Groups of up to 15 can schedule 30 or 60-minute tours by advance reservation. Groups up to 30 can schedule staggered start times where there is availability.
Self-Guided Visits
Self-guided groups do not require a reservation to visit the Intel Museum, but all groups are welcome to submit a request. We ask that groups larger than 30 attendees schedule their visit to help guarantee a great experience.
