This place is great! Alot of history of comedy and interactive displays. Went early in the day and felt like we had it to ourselves.

This place is amazing! It is personalized, very interactive, and so much fun! We have to go back the next time we're in town to see the things we missed and check out new exhibits. They recommend 2-3 hours, but I think you need 3-4.

Oh my! What an amazing experience for kids and adults... Your experience is truly customized from the minute you put on your smart wristband and create your comedy profile. Amazing technology provides am immersive experience. We were there over 3h and barely scratched the surface! Our kids LOVED it! Amazing staff. MUST VISIT

So how the heck did the middle of the country get such an INCREDIBLE museum? I guess they aren't calling it a museum probably because it is soooooo much more than a museum. I don't think any description of this place is adequate! It is, all at once, a fun house, a center for comedy, a playground for fun and art and creativity and, yes, I suppose a museum! Top, one-word description has to be INTERACTIVE. So my daughters had the time of their lives! We could spend days and days at this place... So we all joined as annual members 'cause we shall return and return often we will.

Went for a free to residents event. It is not a bad attraction. It's interesting what they did with the latest tech to improve on interactions. I am still disappointed that they only saved one room for the historic marker and it's the gift shop. It makes it look disjointed, however their archivist is THE best and we enjoyed going.

This was a very fun way to spend a few hours. They have Exhibits that highlight each aspect of comedy and its innovations.The Museum puts effort into showcasing the forgotten stars, such as the writers, sound engineers, and illustrators.This would be fun for children of high intellect, children 15+, and adults who love to laugh.Note: the gift shop is very expensive, but the cost of admission is respectable. This being the case, you don't need a pocket full of cash to have a great time, but expect to bust out that wallet if you want to take home some branded merchandise (that you won't need).

Great interactive museum. I feel kids might get bored. Teens and up. Lots of info and content . Very modern. Parking is down the road a bit and a little confusing but if we managed so can you!

We had a great time touring the center. Your visit is customized based on your selections of comedy types you like. Then you check in using the wristband to many of the displays. The display then 'reads the room's and shows you information based on the comedy likes of those checked in. We bought the combo ticket with the Lucy Desi Museum which is a short walk away. There is a designated parking lot which was free. We spent about 3 hours in the comedy center. Only one display was not operational when we went through. At the end of the visit you get a score report on a display of your comedy leanings.

The place was amazing. I loved how much interaction there was in the place. We spent 3 hours in there and still didn't see everything. I really enjoyed creating a profile and then having them email everything you did. Would definitely recommend this place.

My mom and I visited and loved it! Very interactive and a great balance of the history of comedy, and current movies/shows. Wonderful exhibits, great gift shop, and extremely friendly and helpful staff. Free parking lot about 2 minute walk west of the building, and small snacks/drinks available for purchase in gift shop. Allow at least 2 hours or more to see it all!
