The parking lot is a block and a half away from the actual museum . But there's a secret parking lot right behind the museum and you won't have to walk or wait for the shuttle!

Katya Pugacheva

The demos are the best, I enjoyed them very much. 3 hrs are the least time to plan for it. A very modern museum that is well-planned, full of interesting things to see and leaves a great impression.

Alyssa Danchuk

When you walk in pass up the shops to get to the admission table. Buy a coin anywhere for $3 and you can get a marble at the cool contraption. You will know what I mean. Don't miss this museum !!

Yolanda Morgan

I was so pumped to go that I showed my excitement during the glass blowing demo and won a free piece! It's a wonderful souvenir to take back to Atlanta, GA!

Slightly Perfect

Park right behind the building--there's a secret parking lot , so you don't have to walk. Then head right for the demonstrations and sign up for the kids activities . So much fun!

Meagan Green

It's a wonderful place to go win your family. Lots of things to see and even interact with. The glass shows are a must see and you can even go over to the studio and make something yourself!

Steve Chizar

The amazing glzaa exhibits are well worth the tour . Stop at historic Marmet Street using the free shuttle for a bite to eat after your tout. Great way to spend an afternoon.

Will Devine

In the past, this has been the rain location for USS Accord's Watkins Glen Weekend, when it's considered too rainy to hike through Watkins Glen State Park . CMOG is great to visit any other time.

Take ur time at this pace and don't miss the glass making show. It's a must! Read everything and see everything. It's quite interesting. Must visit.

If you haven't visited here, put it on your bucket list. Whether you take a tour through the museum or attend a special event there such as 2300 Degrees, it will be a very memorable experience.

Jon Chan

You'd think based on the name and associated company that this is a super technical museum , but it's actually a great mix of modern art and history

Molly F Snyder

The historical pieces are fascinating and I got some good deals at the gift shop . I wish I could have bought the 600 dollar base.
