This is a great place to spend any time from an hour to all day! As a former Jamestown resident I did not realize how they could get such a large museum into such a small building until after we went in and discovered they are actually making use of the former Erie Railroad station next door. Lots of rooms and grouped activities with displays of costumes and awards from television shows and comedians. They also have things like Brad Anderson's drafting table where he drew many of his "Marmaduke" cartoons for newspapers. Lots of things for the older crowd but kids can find cartoons and other things to do as well. Downstairs in the old Erie Baggage handling room they have a "Blue Room" with more adult acts such as a tribute to Lenny Bruce.

My sister, cousin and I toured The National Comedy Center after we toured The Lucille Ball Desi Arnaz Museum. Like The Lucille Ball Desi Arnaz Museum, it has many interesting exhibits and was a fun and educational tour.
