Great day trip - The museum is very well done. There is so much information, wonderful displays, I don’t know who dust all of the glass, but it is pristine. We spent over four hours touring the exhibits and did not complete the whole museum. My friend and I had lunch in the coffee and it was delicious. Spent another half hour or so in the gift shop, and came away with some beautiful pieces. Well worth the time.

Worthy every minute! Allow at least 3-4 hours! - A not-so-hidden gem, just a short drive from the Finger Lakes. The museum enthralled us with history, amazing displays of beautiful glass artistry through the millennia, and the science of glass and its many applications. Interactive exhibits with demonstrations were fascinating. Highlight of our visit was attending a Make Your Own Glass workshop, which offers several types of glassworking to experience. Our stay at the museum was easily 4 hours and we couldn’t see everything!

Plenty included in the admission price - We are big fans of Blown Away, so a trip to FLX meant stopping here. Couched in a cute town, we enjoyed our visit. The contemporary exhibits were incredible and the demos in the auditorium and framework were amazing. I enjoyed the variety of glass blowing methods and styles that were shown.

An amazing "must-see" place - We'd picked this as one of our stops of our Road Trip from England - we were really pleased that we did. It's an amazing place. "Museum" doesn't give any indication of its scope, although it does have rooms with museum exhibits. We were fascinated to hear about all the discoveries and inventions that Corning Glass has been involved in - Safety Glass and Fibre Optics to name just two. The one that impressed me most was the production of a 200 ton lens for a telescope. After casting the lens needed three weeks to cool before it could be checked to see if it was OK - that takes some patience! We attended the demonstrations too - well worth seeing the glass blowing and modelling as well as the "How Glass Breaks" demo. They also have an amazing Marble machine where marbles, under the force of gravity, perform all sorts of feats on their way down. We were there all morning - just great.

Worth seeing - Interesting museum. Museum included glass art work by local artists, glass items from different eras in time and live demonstrations. It takes a few hours to see everything but worth it. The entire facility was very clean and the staff were friendly and helpful.

A MUST VISIT ON YOUR TRIP - I would give this 10 STARS!!! Wandering thu the glass store was overwhelmingly fun - there is just any glass you can imagine! The cafe offered cold, hot, and all kinds of eats and drinks so you can rest and restart fresh. Honestly I was only going to stay an hour and wander thru the store, but saw the Art Studio opportunity to learn and create my own glass work! I signed up for glass sandblasting and was hooked!!! I made my own drinking glass! it was fabulous! I then signed up for glass engraving and printmaking -- drew and made my own glass plaque! Then glass blowing - I made both a flower and an ornament! so exciting! Finally I did glass fusion - I made my own CLOCK! I had my items shipped so I didn't have to drag them on my vaction - they arrived within 1 week. I really loved creating my own items. The sign-up team, creative team, and craftsman were truly fabulous - understanding, teaching, answering questions, encouraging - KUDOS to them all and thank you I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you stop in -- great for ALL ages!

Great road trip stop - Driving through in a road trip and heard about this museum. Glad we stopped. Beautiful museum and the area, despite the rain and clouds when we visited, were great. Staff was helpful and friendly and the exhibits were amazing. Definitely work the trip. If you have the chance to do the glass blowing experience, I’d recommend.

If glass is your thing, you should be happy - We were expecting more history on the actual Corning company and its founders. Disappointed. Huge glass collection from across the world. Impressive but not what we were interested in seeing. We did make a pumpkin while we were there and that was fun.

Underwhelming - Underwhelming…the pictures online made it look more interesting than it was. The show was barely even 15 minutes.
