Lucy Desi Museum and Comedy Club - The museum and staff were great. Comedy club was very interactive. The Pub restaurant is a great place for good, affordable food. Make sure you make the mile drive to Lucille Ball Memorial Park to see the statues.

A Wonderful Step Back in Time - I joined a relative on a trip up to Jamestown where they had some business matters to attend to. While we were there, we decided to visit some fun attractions in the area. As my relative had already visited the National Comedy museum in a previous visit, we decided to go to the Lucille Ball Desi Arnaz Museum - and I am so glad we did. The facility is small but packed full of memorabilia from the heyday of I Love Lucy. As a fan since childhood, I truly enjoyed browsing through both the family life history as well as Lucy & Desi's professional history. We spent ~ 2 hours browsing through both exhibits and both agreed it was a very worthwhile visit.

Don’t miss out on this experience! - My husband and I went to this museum. Honestly most museums for me are just ho hum, but the Lucy Desi museum was not. I enjoyed myself so much!! If you are a fan of either Lucy or Desi you must go! Unfortunately, all the gifts in the gift store are super expensive. That was the only downside. You also get a map of the house where Lucy was born, the house where she grew up with her grandpa and where she is buried. We went to all. Again, don’t miss this opportunity.

Terrific museum!! - Great job in including all the important history of the Lucy/Desi partnership and show. It wasn’t overwhelming but just right. So cool that they have the full sets from the NY and Los Angeles apartments. Very much worth a trip to see this terrific museum!

Great time for couples - A must go for all Lucy fans! Once you go through the first museum, there is a second part two doors down. There are a lot of artifacts of Lucy’s including her Mercedes. So glad we took the trip! Plus, there are murals all over town that you have to find!

DISAPOINTED THIS TIME - I VISITED ABOUT 15 YEARS AGO AND THEN AGAIN YESTERDAY. I WOULD SAY MY EXPERIENCE BACK 15 YEARS AGO WAS MUCH BETTER. I THOUGHT THEY WOULD HAVE CHANGE UP THE EXHIBIT A BIT BUT THE SAME AS IT WAS. I DID NOTICE THAT A LOT OF THE ITEM WERE REDONE WITH NEW UPDATED FURNTURE AND NATURALLY NOT THE ORGINAL. IT IS NOTED THAT A LOT WAS LOSS OR DISTROYED. THE CUSTUMES WERE RE PRODUCED AND ONLY A FEW OF THE ORIGINALS THAT I SAW. THE GIFT SHOP WAS SCARCE WITH NOT MUCH OF LUCY. I WAS LOOKING MORE FOR THE DOLLS AND CLOCKS, FIGURINES BUT THEY DIDNT HAVE ANY OF THAT BUT ONE BARBIE DOLL. T SHIRTS PRICY AT $28.00 AND NOT THE GREATEST QUALITY. REALLY DISPOINTED THIS TIME. WE DID VISIT HER CHILDHOOD HOME AND HER RESTING PLACE. THAT WAS THE BEST PART OF THE TRIP.

Disappointed!!! - Changed our travel plans and left a day early to visit on a Tuesday as the schedule indicated it was closed on Wednesdays. Got there and found out that they close on Tuesdays as well after Labor Day. Their web site was updated after Labor Day to indicate that, but no mention was made prior to Labor Day when we were making plans. if we had known we would have taken a different route and not wasted a travel day. Very disappointed by the experience and would not recommend this venue.
