I am not one for museums. But this museum is an exception. It is a very hands on museum for adults with many interactive exhibits. I highly recommend the National Comedy Center.

This was better than I was expecting. Really enjoyed the Johnny Carson exhibit which brought back so many memories—he really was a pioneer. The off color comedy floor was really funny and included clips of old roasts. A worth see.

Interact with the exhibits to get the most out of your time. There is a large volume of audio and video that you can select based on how you set your profile when you enter. The majority of the comedy is mid-20th to early 21st century. I was surprised at the relatively paucity of information from users of Twitter/TikTok and the like. We spent the better part of the day laughing/crying / moving from exhibit to exhibit and to and from the 'blue room', arriving at 10 and finally exiting through the giftshop 5 hours later. Then took a short stroll along the riverwalk.
