A must for Lucille Ball fans - I got much more out of it than I expected. Gave a lot of information about Lucy and Desi. Lots of movie sets and costumes, Loved it. Kind of strange that it was in two different entrances.

For fans of Lucy - If you are a fan of Lucy, this is the place to go.It's a museum all about her life and career. There are fun photo ops in her tv set kitchen, an interesting film, and a gift shop. This is in addition to all the items on display.

Well organized museum - This museum is well set out and organized. We enjoyed it very much. The facility was clean and nothing was closed down or missing. If you read everything you do not need to spend money on the narrative phone to carry. The only suggestion I have to make this experience better would be to update the phone. Buttons constantly stuck and it became frustrating so we all quit listening to it. Other than that I highly recommend this museum!

It was good. Gift shop just needs more - The museum was good. I really liked it. I just wish they would have had more things in gift shop to pick from. Like funny pictures on shirts and sweatshirts. That is what made her famous was her funny attitude
