I visited the Corning Museum of Glass in May 2022. It was an outstanding museum. They have a good parking lot and welcome center. I bought my ticket online the evening before. The first section is Contemporary glass works. It was very interesting and took me about 20 minutes. The star exhibit of the museum is 35 Centuries of Glass. It was fantastic. I spent 60-75 minutes here. It covered glass works from many countries and time periods including ancient Egypt, the Roman Empire, Venice, France, the UK, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, USA and many more. Finally, I quickly went through the private collection of Ben Heineman which very interesting. The museum had a very good cafe and I got a latte and biscotti. The museum shop is very large and interesting. I filled out the visitor survey and the museum gave me a nice gift. This was a fantastic museum and I plan to go back soon.

It's a must stop over and visit the museum. It's super innovative and you would be mesmerizing with all of it. Takes around roughly minimum 2 hours to visit and do visit the gift store for some additional token of memories to pick up from.

What a great place to visit and you really do need 3-4 hours to get through all of it. We purchased the "make your own" glass activity for $34 each and were slightly disappointed. You get to pick out your glass colors and push a foot pedal to provide air when instructed but otherwise the staff actually make the glass. The upside is that they sell the same type of ornament in the gift shop for $35 so at least you get to take home an almost "make your own". We were staying an hour away and opted to have the items shipped home ($18 to Philadelphia area for both pieces) rather than drive back to pick it up when gas is at $4.79/gallon.
