Exceeded our expectations. We spent the whole day, 6+hrs and could have used more time. If we lived closer we would buy a membership, there are so many interactive displays where you have options to … Full review by gary K

I was drawn to the area by Chatuagua Lake and then realized there was a National Comedy Center in Jamestown, NY. I spent several hours laughing, reminiscing, and doing hands-on activities. I went wit… Full review by B9957SPsusans

It was good. I wouldn’t say great. There’s a lot of info on older comedians and comediennes. From Joan Rivers to Carl Reiner. There is a “Blue Room” for those 21+ and that was funny. The other displa… Full review by rjwv90
Will young children enjoy this museum? I have children aged 5, 7, 9, 12 and 13. (Older ones too, but these are the ones I'm concerned with)

I would've been fatigued at 4 hours. We did 2.5 and that was good enough for me, but the other reviewers are correct in that there is lots of interactivity so if you want to spend 4 hours, it's easily done.
Can you do this with kids? I am looking on their website and here at the reviews. I'm thinking I may pass when we do our summer road trip this year. It looks amazing, but it Just doesnt look kid friendly. The Lucy/ Desi Museum seems better for kids. What do you guys think?

The Comedy Center is Hi-Tech, and interactive, the stuff kids would love. The Blue Room (adult humor) is off limits to the little ones, so no fear there. We did all the Lucy stuff, even though its kid friendly, it is not what kids would be interested in, it would be difficult to find a kid who knows who Lucy is! It really isn't that entertaining for adults. Small and very limited. We went because the tickets covered it. Sadly, nothing memorable there. Kids would be bored senseless.
