Worth every penny of the aqddimission price - We love glass art so this was a wonderful experience. frnkly, the gift shop alone is worth the visit. But the museum has a variety of exhibits that teach about the history of glass making, the differences in glass (with a glass breaking demo), a historical walk through the different eras of glass and glass decoration and more.
There's demonstrations of glass blowing and you can (for an extra fee) even make your own glas art.

World Class Museum with World Class Hospitality and Accessibility; And, did I mention the hands-on fun too? - My sister and I visited the Corning Museum of Glass for a quick getaway. While each of us had been there in our early adult years, we hadn't been back recently and are so glad we chose it for our girlfriend's getaway. She was on a knee scooter because of a recent accident, but it gave us the ability to also give this an accessibility test. Everything was awesome - and we took in the complete experience - in fact, adding in the optional make your own experience. The staff was both efficient and kind. From the admission folks to the store clerks to the teachers and demo providers, I felt that the staff was a model of customer service. Everything at the museum was in quality shape - there were no "missing" or "down" displays - and the interpretation of the exhibits was thorough and interesting. It was not crowded because there is so much space. We made sure to hit every section - 35 centuries of glass; the Innovation/Science area; and the contemporary art exhibit. We flowed easily between things both with the scooter and the wheelchair. Nothing was missed despite the mobility challenge. Hats off to those at the Glass Center for their attention to detail - and to the locals and staff who were helpful and friendly and fun!

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.

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.
