This museum is well set out and organized. We enjoyed it very much. The facility was clean and nothing was closed down or missing. If you read everything you do not need to spend money on the narrative phone to carry. The only suggestion I have to make this experience better would be to update the phone. Buttons constantly stuck and it became frustrating so we all quit listening to it. Other than that I highly recommend this museum!

I didn't know much about the history or significance of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz before I visited this museum, so I learned a lot from the experience. Very enjoyable and highly recommended!

I got much more out of it than I expected. Gave a lot of information about Lucy and Desi. Lots of movie sets and costumes, Loved it. Kind of strange that it was in two different entrances.
It was good. Gift shop just needs more

The museum was good. I really liked it. I just wish they would have had more things in gift shop to pick from. Like funny pictures on shirts and sweatshirts. That is what made her famous was her funny attitude
Amazing!

My wife and friend are big I Love Lucy fans (I enjoyed The Lucy Show and Here's Lucy). There were lots of memorabilia here including awards, costumes and even the set. The guy in the gift shop obviously wasn't old enough to remember Lucy but was very knowledgeable about the actress. Definitely worth a stop for Lucy fans.
Check it out. Nice day trip

A great visit.. I loved seeing all the stuff from when I watched it on TV when I was growing up. Well worth the trip. I can’t wait until they have the new exhibit open.
