Microsoft Game Studios - Publishing Review

Love this place. Every time friends and family coming over I am taking them there.

I visited at least 8 times in last 2 years. The people are amazing. Very welcoming and neat place.

Basically a giant Microsoft store. There are no exclusive items or prices, so it's cool just to visit the campus, but I couldn't find much attraction beyond that...

Outdated, does not resemble how Microsoft is innovative.

Great for us Kid-adult. I think us adults had more fun then my kids. Definitely bring the family here. You can spend a lot of time laughing and giggling in this place.

We were so close to Microsoft in our travels and had to make a bit of a detour to visit the famous Microsoft that we all know so well. It is huge and beautiful and it was unfortunate other than a few dedicated employees going to work, the visitor Center was closed as it was a Sunday. We still walked around, took photos and were genuinely tickled to have actually been there. Seattle is on our bucket list again and we will make sure we venture out to Microsoft on a day it's open.

Beautiful interior and building. Lots of stuff to see and do.

Nicely designed, informative and fun exhibit. Good place to a look at the latest from Microsoft. Also has a gift shop with Microsoft merchandise.

Pretty cool place for anyone that likes tech, store is very small

Was invited to a conference through a Dyslexia group to discuss assistive technology. Teachers, parents and children attended. It was very nice for Mircosoft to host, but there were a couple things amiss. I found it odd that two different presenters made a point of telling their visitors how lucky we were to be at the Microsoft campus. It came off quite arrogant and pompous. They then offered limited snacks (not enough for the size of crowd attending) and then openly shamed parents for taking too many. I wasn't there for snacks and didn't partake in them, but found it odd that Microsoft made it such a big deal. Either graciously offer the snacks and make sure you have enough for your guests or don't offer them at all...but don't shame them. They also offered school supplies to the children there, but again, used a shaming platform and said "If you're not in need (what does that even mean in this scenario?) then please don't take them. How would the children or adults be able to decipher if they are in need or not? It's back to school time and kids "need" school supplies. These people were your guests and you treated them like they should walk on eggshells. If you're going to offer something, be prepared to accommodate those you invite and have enough for those invited. Don't put ambiguous stipulations on what's meant to be a gift and make people feel uncomfortable. However, Microsoft had no problem showing us their store and making sure we were in the market to spend money there. You can do better, Microsoft.

Needs more hands on (rather than xbox) and wishlist would be bring able to try VR

Founded in 1975, you can learn about the history and latest products of Microsoft. If you expect too much, it can be a bit disappointing, but if you have visited Microsoft Visitor Sander, it would be better if you mean it. ^^

Having a great time at TAKE YOUR KID TO WORK DAY 2017

The visitor center takes you down the memory lane and into what cutting edge. Really wonderful experience.

Fun place to visit with family, really like the kinect stuff, some games and computers to play on

While there's nothing wrong with the visitor center as such, I don't like Microsoft or what they stand for. I went there solely to hate on them. If I could give them no stars, I would.

Not much exciting things to see. They sell something you don t really want to buy. The software and Xbox game are only limited to their employees to buy. Oh, do I mention that there is a lady guarding the gate to the software shop, who is not friendly at all.

Disappointingly small but maybe that's because it was under construction.

Very cool, interactive visitor center. Good sized Microsoft gift store as well.

First it took 35 min to find a parking spot, then the experience is lowest common denominator, Xbox, Windows etc.. lets see history or cutting edge side of Microsoft... The store was even worse, I was accosted by a security guard, I walked across an inviable line...

Very nice place, we were warmly welcomed. Has a small store that sells Microsoft branded products, including iPhone charge cables!

Friendly staff. Building and grounds are well maintained.

Nothing special here. The "museum" isn't that impressive, but its worth a stop if you're already here. The Microsoft store in your local mall will have more current technology.

Nothing special here just a bunch of not working surfaces and xboxes. Ready for not finding a parking spot. No sign to say it is a visitor center.

Nice. The Microsoft campus is great. The visitor s center is quite small but interesting. About the store, this is not the usual Microsoft store but more like a place for souvenirs and t-shirts. No Surface Pro here...

It is fantastic that the company allows the general public to walk in and visit the museum right on Microsoft campus. Microsoft is a major part of technology history and now anyone can experience not only the museum, but a little bit of what life feels like on campus.

The worse customer service ever. Even after paying for technical support. Calls transferred. Calls dropped. Promised call backs never happen. Hours and hours and hours of high frustration. Now my new lap top does not even work at all. Cannot even start it. They are all very polite. Nice. Sorry for the aggravation. And then transfer me again. Somebody better start caring about customer support and customer service. I will be buying a MAC - tonight. I will not take this any more.

I do not have a lot of great things to see, but I can enjoy the latest technology like funny and hololens. Only for those who like computer technology or games.

It was a very interesting place for me and my husband. Hololens was the most fun, especially! / Me and the groom have really enjoyed it! If you go here, try Hololens once! exactly!

I love you xbox one :) don t like you ps4 :( :) MICROSOFT :) :( SONY :(

Very close to the transit centre and decent parking.Its a little challenging to get to with all the traffic around the area but a nice Microsoft office with amazing views

It was fun checking out the technology, apps and games on display. The receptionists were friendly and helpful. There were some renovations happening that made things a little confusing when going to the visitor store, but otherwise it was a good time.

Currently being refurbished, but you are made to feel welcome!

If you ever come to Redmond, the Microsoft campus is a must place to visit and the store has great stuff for gamers, geeks, fans, or the average Joe

But being able to communicate with a person would be nice. Why did Microsoft take my paid version of office off my computer and replace it with a trial version then tell me I have to pay for an upgrade? Or is it because we bought a new office 365 for the new computer and it is trying to force us to use it on this piece of garbage in order to remove old documents?

Great friendly people - allowed us to take as many photos as we wanted

Super cool stuff in here. The holo lens, the racing simulator and the Xbox stations, I would say, are the highlights of this place. Just don't expect to get a sneak peek into the Microsoft world cos this is more of a Microsoft store than a corporate office. All in all, a good place to chill at if you're on the way to Redmond anyway, but I wouldn't recommend driving all the way just for this.

I love the place! There's free coffee, Xbox One X tryouts, a face identification thing, and muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch more!!!!!!!

Was very disappointed! Do not go out of your way to visit. I was hoping for some fun exhibits and historical timelines and maybe a tour. Instead this was basically a one-room Microsoft store with a few phones on exhibit. Nothing to see here.

Such great history. The tour guides were wonderful. Great to be here.

Must visit for Microsoft fans! Microsoft technology on exhibit. There is a store too where you can purchase many MS branded products and software.

The Misrcosoft Company and Store are situated on a large acreage covering block after block of the Remond - Overlake neighborhood. It is an incredibly attractive place, with beautiful landscaping and water features, sports fields, and walking trails.The strongly employees are strongly incentivized to bike, or use public or corporate transit. Microsoft runs their own fleet of buses, vans, and cars to shuttle folks from carpool lots to most any building or facility scattered around the greater Seattle area.The Compnay Store offers all kinds of clothing, office materials needs, books, and a limited amount of hardware. Only with a company employee can you enter the area where software and hardware sold at cost.Don't miss the computer museum directly across the Company Store.

Microsoft visiting center remodel hand painting with new carpet place looks awesome come see the new exhibit you like what you see

The redesigned visitor center and store are really nice. The general public may now purchase software, hardware, and accessories at the store.

Great Company store.

The history part for me is the much more interesting one!

Cool place. Hard to skip when on trip to Seattle. But VERY expensive. Tip : do not buy pens they have on sale for 3$ just get one for free at the reception desk :)

Less exhibit and more arcade. My young tech geek was disappointed there weren t people to speak nerd with. If you want to play xbox or test out VR then this place is for you. Also, the under 13 year old crowd is limited in participation. Otherwise there really isn t much to do.

Nice balance of history and vision (and you can play Fortnight)

It's a self serve walking exhibits with all Microsoft hardware. Where is the history of Windows and Office???

My younger kids under 13 were not allowed to play the fun games, a little disappointed for them so they ended up just playing minecraft on the computer. Parking might be hard to get. They have microsoft t-shirts for about $18 each.

Smaller than expected. Not much to see except merchandises. I was hoping to see more of its history, former OS Win 3.1 ... etc on display (^o^)

Microsoft campus is the best campus on earth.

Must see:
- Microsoft Treehouse
- Fountain
- Waterfall
- Lake Bill
- Cafe 16
- Microsoft Visitor center

It is a great place to learn about Microsoft's development history and experience Microsoft's latest products and technologies.

I went out to Microsoft to interview and I was blown away by the campus. The visitor center is very well put together. 5/5.

Beautiful hi-tech visitor center, covering part of 1st floor, w/display of latest MS products.
A MS store w/ gift shop.

Impressive with what Microsoft is doing on the smart building front

Nice place to shop Microsoft products and very educating museum

Absolutely loved our time here. Great experience for the whole family.

Excellent place to know something about Microsoft history, is very small but if you have kids they can get some time there playing with the hardware that's inside the center.

Are you visiting Redmond? Don't miss Microsoft. If you like IT, you will like this place. In visitors center you can try various attractions. And campus is also really beatiful, you can walk there in forests or just sit on the bench and relax.

The store has lots of cool MS gear and the demo area is fun to mess around in.

Cozy place with free beverages. Great weekend escape from everything and everybody else. Books for you to kill the time and computers for you to surf the internet. Bored? Head out for a trail run!
