Absolutely loved this place! We weren’t sure if we were going to stop. After reading all the trip advisor reviews, we decided to check it out. We spent a good 2-3 hours here. We could have spent the whole day here. We loved it. Well worth the stop, highly recommend visiting! In our group we had a teenage boy, I think he enjoyed it the most! Definitely worth stopping to see.

Spent a fun couple of days in Jamestown at the National Comedy Center and Lucy Desi Museum. The Comedy Center was much bigger than I thought it would be. I spent three hours there and could have easily spent another hour. Great tributes to many comedians who we have forgotten about like George Carlin and Lenny Bruce. Interesting to learn how they developed their acts and left their imprint on our culture. I think anyone would enjoy this including children (except for the Blue Room, although they would probably like it). You design it to your specific comedy likes. There is a lot to do in the area.

We LOVED the Comedy Museum! It’s very fun and interactive! We had a great time watching old comedy clips and interviews, learning about personalized comedy profiles, and becoming part of the comedy act! It’s a must-do and worth the trip to Jamestown! Also be sure to check out the Lucy-Desi museum if you Love Lucy, and Northwest Arena for fun ice-rink bumper cars!
