This is nothing short of an amazing museum. It is hard to believe so many things have been made of glass through history. I highly recommend this museum.Full review by Skip G

An absolutely super experience. We spent two days here. The history of glass is beautifully told, and the collection of both ancient and contemporary work is beyond compare. You can see glass work…Full review by Betty F

Absolutely amazing. The complete history of glass from top to bottom. I feel like even after spending several hours, we missed a ton. Will be going back in the future.Full review by TheGambianRPCV

This is an extensive museum with lots of exhibits on their inventions, tupes of glass, and other glass topics. There are also live demonstrations of glass blowing and other techniques. We spent several hours there. Have a look on their website to see what's there.
Is there mobility carts for handicapped people who want to take the tour?
A:
Wheelchairs are available free of charge at the Admissions lobby, lower level entrance, and Welcome Center or by asking any Museum employee on a first-come, first-served basis.
Hi, we are planning the trip to niagara via Corning glass museum from the UK. We’d like to make our own glass but I understand it takes up to 10 business days to arrive within the US but we’ll na back to the UK by then. How much does the shopping cost please? And why can’t we take what we’ve made the same day? Thanks.

After being formed the glass has to be annealed (heated) overnight, otherwise it will break. I suggest that you contact them directly about overseas shipment costs. Please understand that you will not be "making glass", just assisting a skilled technician in the shaping of it.
I would love, love to come for a visit.I'd love to take a class too. But winter until March is when I have the most time . What is the winter like driving from Ct. ? What are the chances of getting snowed in?lol

The road in to Corning from the east is a solid highway and should be in good shape. To get to the museum, you'll exit onto a 4-lane avenue only about a half mile from the highway. Again, that road would probably be in decent shape as well. As for the route in from New England...if you're on interstates, you should be fine. The museum is not far off the beaten path, so I'd be confident in the drive. The Hilton is barely a third of a mile away, so if you room there, I wouldn't see any problems with the roads.
