This was our 3rd visit in 20 years enjoy each one of them. - A wonderful place to take a little break after the holiday season. It was a great museum tour and downtown shopping ending the evening with a good dinner at the cellar!

If you're in the area stop by... - Be prepared to walk. They offer small stools to take with you. Very educational and interesting. The glass craft activities (for a fee) are a little pricey, but it is an experience.

Fabulous experience. A gem in the Fingerlakes - We celebrated part of our anniversary here at the Corning Museum. It was such a positive experience. We enjoyed touring the museum & gift shop. We participated in an etching class at The Studio. It was fun & and an activity that was memorable. We brought our results home.
We especially enjoyed the artists sale that weekend. We purchased several pieces. Such deals! This was Corning's Sparkle Weekend and that made our time there very special.

Amazing glass museum - I was planning to visit this museum for over 5 years. Glad I finally got to visit and experience hundreds of years glass making history. All the displays were exquisite and beautiful. Spent over 3 hours admiring the beauty and creativity of all the artists. Once in a lifetime experience and I suggest visiting this museum with your family and friends.

Don’t go on the weekend! - Not so interested in Lego themed displays. The glass blowing for Lego man was great for kids, not so much for older adults…. And way too crowded… lots of kids.

Corning Museum of Glass - The Corning Museum of Glass was a disappointment this time around. I had been years ago and enjoyed it very much. This time l found info. about the museum were unclear. When you pull into the lot for parking it’s unclear where to go. Asking in the Visitors Center didn’t help .The man at info. seemed disinterested in what he was doing. He waved and said ,”it’s down that way. “After purchasing tickets we found that the main attraction, watching the glass makers work from above, was closed. That’s what visitors come to see. A small area did have a glass blowing demo but people were standing, ten deep, and many couldn’t see. It almost felt like there was no planning or effort put in to making the museum its best. Let’s hope that changes. It is a fascinating and unique museum.
