We purchased combined tickets through a package at our hotel for both the National Comedy Center and the Lucille Ball Museums. My husband loves comedy and really enjoyed our time at the Museum. They went out of their way to assure that COVID restrictions and safeguards were addressed and we felt totally safe while there.

Loved it all, but especially the Lucy-Desi Museum. It brought back wonderful childhood memories as did many of the aspects of the main museum. The displays were very well done. Really liked the cartoon display as I never would have thought of it as comedy, but over the years cartoons have certainly brought me some good laughs.

Easily the best museum experience I've had (and I've been to countless ones around the world). Their very innovative use of technology to deliver both a highly interactive and personalized experience makes it an incredibly fulfilling visit. There is something for all ages and tastes in comedy, and an excellent gift shop as well. The exhibits are curated very well and pay appropriate homage to all comedy greats - really no one, no type, no aspect is left out. I was there during the pandemic and again, they have taken innovative steps to ensure a safe environment for both visitors and staff. I was truly impressed with how much thought has gone into their approach so as to ensure safety while not diminishing the experience. And the staff could not have been nicer, more friendly, or more helpful. Whether you're a student or practitioner of comedy, or just a casual fan - you will not be disappointed.
