The National Comedy Center is located in Jamestown, New York, The hometown of Lucille Ball. I must say that I really didn’t know what to expect from this museum, but on the advice of some friends I decided to give it a try. My senior discount ticket cost $33.50 and it comes it an interactive wrist band that you must activate at a kiosk before beginning your tour. The activation process is quick and easy. This museum has a large number of interactive exhibits that you access by using the wrist band. Once you get use to using the wrist band is only adds to the fun. In addition to the interactive exhibits there are also many artifacts from the pioneers of comedy like Abbott and Costello, Groucho Marx, and the Three Stooges. I really enjoyed the interactive displays and artifacts relating to Johnny Carson and the Tonight Show. Jamestown being the hometown of Lucille Ball, you might expect a large number of Lucy artifacts and exhibits. That is not the case. While they do highlight her contribution to comedy they leave the more extensive Lucy experience to the Lucille Ball – Desi Arnaz Museum just a short distance away. There is also a separate section to the Museum that deals with “Adult Comedy,” which features comedy greats like Richard Pryor, George Carlin and Redd Foxx. Even though I didn’t know what to expect, especially the interactive part, I ended up really enjoying my visit. All and all I spent about 3-hours here and feel like I experienced everything. It was highly enjoyable, and I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone who is in the Jamestown area.

Maybe if you're a real comedy fan this might be a fun museum. For my family, we didn't really like it at all and cut our visit short. There are a lot of interactive exhibits, but we just weren't into it.

This is one of a kind centre which offers interactive & fun experiences to the audience. The personal profile set up allowed us to enjoy the fun which suited our interests. We laughed and were amazed about the creativity of different comedians. Be prepared to spend a day in the centre. We barely finished all the exhibits in 4 hours. A lot of fun.

My wife & I spent the full 7 hours laughing our way through the venue.
There was comedy history and many video clips that were very funny.
Well worth the trip to Jamestown!
