I think you have an excellent case here, interesting exhibits, tour and 
history but to prove it it must be challenged!!

Is there a visitor attraction Geekier than Bletchley Park?

Apart from Bletchley park the geekiest place I've been is

Miraikan (Tokyo) which has some great exhibits and including 
Asimo and a model internet running TCPIP over pingpong ball(!)
http://www.miraikan.jst.go.jp/en/

Honrable mentions to 
Science Museum London (nach)
National Space Centre, Leicester (if you go there drop by the (free) Abby 
pumping station next door)

I like the sound of the NSA Cryptologic Museum

Any other suggestions?
