Enjoyable Visit - The museum was bigger than I anticipated as it’s in 2 different buildings. It provides a good overview of Lucile Ball and Desi Arnaz. The information flow is good and the exhibits are varied and interesting. I found the Desilu exhibit particularly informative.
The museum doesn’t go in to much detail about their personal lives. E.g. there’s no mention of Desi’s affairs that led to their divorce.
The gift shops (one in each building) sell a wide variety of Lucy-related souvenirs.
The museum is about 5-10 minutes off of I-86. It’s definitely worth a stop if you’re driving by.

Must see for all Lucy fans! - As lifelong Lucy fans, we decided to make a stop on our way home from Niagara Falls to NYC. We are certainly glad we did. The set recreations and artifacts were amazing and a must see for all Lucy fans. Pay the extra few $ to walk on and take photos on the set (both NY and Hollywood apartments).
Would recommend the double admission to the National Comedy Center a few blocks down the road.

Definitely worth a visit! - Really fun museum for any fan of I Love Lucy and/or Lucy and Desi. Lots of interesting and cool facts and exhibits. We did not pay extra for the audio tour and didn’t feel like we missed anything. I especially liked being able to record my own Vitameatavegemin commercial! Great gift shop as well.

Fun for a Fan! - The museum is a lot of fun if you are a fan. It is small but it has a lot of nice things from the show to see like costumes, props, the living room and kitchen used on the show and some film clips to watch. You can tour it in about an hour.
