I went with my kids a few times - it was VERY interesting because everything worked. Even the KI-10 from the 1970s.
That KI-10 (a room sized computer) is going for $30K-$50K. I'll note a core memory cabinet with 64KW memory cost about $60K new back then.
MoPop and the aerospace museum are still open.
