A wonderful experience! - Very interactive and informative about the history of comedy. Very clean and people were very friendly. It was a great flow and can spend the whole day there.

True Joy to Visit - The National Comedy Center was a true joy to visit. It was so much fun to explore all the comedy history and watch clips of so many different types of comedy. If you enjoy comedy at all (and who doesn't?!) then you'll have a great time at the National Comedy Center. We spent 6 hours there and easily could have spent more -- so give yourself plenty of time!

Great Museum — Highly Recommended! - Fantastic museum — very well done! There are a ton of exhibits to see, watch, and interact with. If you like comedy, you'll enjoy spending time here.

It’s a must for anyone who enjoys comedy - This place was a blast! If you are a fan of comedy, this is a must see. We spent almost 4 hours there and will probably have to go back to see the rest. If you are coming from out of town and spending the night, check with your hotel. They may have discount coupons or packages for the museum.

Sublime experience! - The National Comedy Museum is worth a trip, wherever you come from! It is relevant, interactive, and incredibly engaging! We loved the Johnny Carson: the immersive experience was worth the price of admission. There are numerous interactive exhibits and knowledgeable staff throughout the place. They even have someone who comes around to get your drink - yes, a real drink, like wine, etc.

A National Comedy Center - can't help but be entertained! - As a tour director, I escorted a group here, so while I identify it as business, it was still pure fun with new friends. We had a full day of sightseeing in the area and only 90 minutes was here at the Comedy Center, but I would recommend at least two hours (though this will differ with each person depending upon your attention span!). There is a lot available here and if in the area for long enough to spend more than just one visit, that's what I would recommend because otherwise it might be a bit overwhelming to some. Great technology is in use as you receive a microchipped wristband that you then fill at an easily used kiosk at the entrance with your favorite shows, sitcoms, podcasts, etc. (chosen from a list) which helps to personalize your experience as you wander through. There are places to sit and watch clips of some of your favorite shows, there's a theatre area where Jimmy Fallon's hologram is the host of a variety of Johnny Carson clips, and much, much more! There's also a terrific gift shop if you like to purchase things to commemorate your visit or for gifts for others. Probably not good for younger children simply because they're likely not going to be entertained by the comedy that entertains the adults!

Really cool interactive museum center - I didn’t really know what to expect when we visited The National Comedy Center, however, it was a terrific time! The center tries to cater to your comedy likes. They give you an interactive band to wear on your wrist that has like a microchip in it and at the very beginning when you pay for your ticket and you go to the kiosk and select TV show shows, movies, stand-up comedians that you like it records it onto this microchip and then when you go around to all of the exhibits, you can blink your wristband at the exhibit and they will cater to your comedic favorites. It was very fun to go and get involved and engaged in all of the interactive exhibits that were there, you can make your own meme, you can sit with a friend and make each other laugh, you can imitate, stand-up comedians, you can go up on stage and do a monologue so it’s very interactive. If you’re shy, you’re not gonna like this museum That much although you don’t have to engage in the comedy interactive exhibits. We spent the afternoon there, however we could’ve spent more time to see everything. There are two other floors at this building, one is dedicated to a specific comedian, and the other one is dedicated to comedians that have risky or vulgarities. There’s also a bar inside where you can get drinks, I’m not sure if there’s snacks. There’s also a gift shop at the end as you snake your way through the center. Parking is either on the street, which is free on the weekends, but paid meter parking during the week. There’s also a parking lot strictly for the center that’s free, which is a couple blocks away.

Worth the visit. - Bought the combination ticket to the Lucy Desi museum. It was truly worth it. It's interactive, which makes it entertaining. Lots of comedy history.

Interesting and fun, but not as great as so many seem to say - We enjoyed viewing many of the exhibits (reading the info and watching clips) and loved a film they featured about Laugh-In and Johnny Carson. The other positive was a room downstairs dedicated to blue comedians—Lenny Bruce, George Carlin, etc. Overall, though, we were not wowed. They have this system where, by choosing your favorite comedians, etc., your experience is supposedly catered to your tastes via a chip in a wristband. But it did not play out that way at all, as far as we could tell. It just seemed to be a gimmick, mainly a data collection exercise. Also, we struggled to see any organization or flow to the content of the museum overall. The Lucille Ball Desi Arnaz museum nearby had a better presentation that was easier to follow and digest. Maybe part of the problem is how broad the focus of the museum is.

Confusing and not worth our time. - From the beginning this place was not well structured. They had us run through a bunch of questions on a screen about our favorite comedians, in a geese to form a more personal experience, only to end up asking for you personal information, email etc., before you could finish the "personalization". We both opted out of it. Very confusing, not worth the money. We left after 15 minutes of walking in. Stick to the Lucille Ball Desi Arnaz museum only.
