Jeff CJuly 8, 2012The parking lot is a block and a half away from the actual museum. But there's a secret parking lot right behind the museum and you won't have to walk or wait for the shuttle!Upvoted Aug 31
Katya PugachevaAugust 24, 2017The demos are the best, I enjoyed them very much. 3 hrs are the least time to plan for it. A very modern museum that is well-planned, full of interesting things to see and leaves a great impression.
Alyssa DanchukSeptember 17, 2013When you walk in pass up the shops to get to the admission table. Buy a coin anywhere for $3 and you can get a marble at the cool contraption. You will know what I mean. Don't miss this museum!!
Yolanda MorganDecember 6, 2015I was so pumped to go that I showed my excitement during the glass blowing demo and won a free piece! It's a wonderful souvenir to take back to Atlanta, GA!
Slightly PerfectDecember 1, 2019Park right behind the building--there's a secret parking lot, so you don't have to walk. Then head right for the demonstrations and sign up for the kids activities. So much fun!
Meagan GreenAugust 10, 2014It's a wonderful place to go win your family. Lots of things to see and even interact with. The glass shows are a must see and you can even go over to the studio and make something yourself!
Steve ChizarAugust 21, 2013The amazing glzaa exhibits are well worth the tour. Stop at historic Marmet Street using the free shuttle for a bite to eat after your tout. Great way to spend an afternoon.
Will DevineSeptember 23, 2011In the past, this has been the rain location for USS Accord's Watkins Glen Weekend, when it's considered too rainy to hike through Watkins Glen State Park. CMOG is great to visit any other time.
ʌǝpMay 20, 2014Take ur time at this pace and don't miss the glass making show. It's a must! Read everything and see everything. It's quite interesting. Must visit.
Ava LuJanuary 10, 2012check out the hot glass show, I liked it better when they have an outdoor show. Beautiful display of different types of glass. Definitely going to take you more than 2 hours in there. GIFT SHOP<3<3<3
If you haven't visited here, put it on your bucket list. Whether you take a tour through the museum or attend a special event there such as 2300 Degrees, it will be a very memorable experience.
Jon ChanJuly 4, 2016You'd think based on the name and associated company that this is a super technical museum, but it's actually a great mix of modern art and history
Molly F SnyderApril 22, 2017The historical pieces are fascinating and I got some good deals at the gift shop. I wish I could have bought the 600 dollar base.

Nancy WolfeAugust 19, 2016It was nice to be able to make your own projects. Your can sign up on line. I loved the fish aquarium very creative.
Ebrahim BandookwalaAugust 9, 2016Allocate 4 hours to get through it all. Schedule your trip to match show times, open late in summer. Museum store is pricey.
- Sandy GompfApril 15, 2010Beautiful collection of glass art from ancient Egypt to the present, watch a glassblower make a piece, shop a huge store with all kinds of funky glass art. The cafe serves gourmet fare,well-priced.

Michael KJune 30, 2013Wasn't sure about stopping here on the way home but glad we did. Lots to see and do and one could spend the entire day here.- Colleen RossMarch 16, 2013The Fiber Optics demonstration is fantastic! Do a "Make Your Own Glass" session, too, to get the full experience.
