5.00Be 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

5.00We 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.

5.00I 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.

2.00The 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.
