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.

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.

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. ^^

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.

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...

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

Great Company store.

Great Company store.

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

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.

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.

Nice

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.

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!
