I read in my lonely planet book that during this time the college is closed, we are arriving london april 25th, does it mean it is best to visit cambridge some other time?

It is quite possible that many of the colleges won't be open for visitors as often as in the summer, when there are no lectures or exams. But this shouldn't keep you from visiting Cambridge. You can go punting - this is great fun! - , climb up the tower of the university church and enjoy the view over the all the spires of the colleges, you can walk to Grantchester and relax in the Orchard, and there's so much more. Have a look at the VT pages about Cambridge and you'll find more than enough for one or two days.
We visited Cambridge on a day trip. It's a pleasant town and famous for its University. We made a stroll past many colleges. Most popular methods of transport here are bicycles and the funny flat boats on the Cam River. To take in all the sights I would stay here for at least two days.
You're bound to notice the Catholic Church at the end of Hills Road if you spend much time in Cambridge. It's more properly known as "Our Lady and the English Martyrs Church" but I dare say you'll be met with blank expressions by many Cambridge residents if you call it that. It's a useful point of reference on the southern edge of the city centre; I pass it every weekday on my way home from work.
Like many things in Cambridge, it has a website, which is at:

Cambridge's main indoor sports hall.
Activities such as badminton, climbing, squash, aerobics, and yoga. Has a gym.
Great for long stays in the city.
Open 7 days a week, 9am-11pm.
There's also a fairly new swimming pool, Parkside, next door to KK. You can't miss it, as it's got big glass windows so you can see in. Can hire for extra.
Wimpole Hall is a spectacular mansion owned by the National Trust and lies about 6 or so miles from the city of Cambridge. It has magnificent gardens and there is also a working farm, which is self-funding.
The hall has fascinating servants quarters a walled kitchen garden a second hand bookshop to name but a few.
There are also walks that can be taken free of charge in the extensive grounds. The hall farm and gardens all have admittance fees.
Great selection of outdoor clothing, rucksacks, camping gear, footwear etc. This shop has excellent service. I just have to mention about one nice experience we had: one of us was planning to buy a fleece and take it as a gift to someone in Brazil. Since we were not sure about sizes we decided to buy two in different sizes and return the wrong size later. Although we were planning to stay abroad for 4 weeks and the return policy is just 2 weeks, the manager agreed to us taking both fleeces, he was most helpful.
