One of the best museums I have been to. As a avid Jim Henson fan I was blown away by the exhibit, very fun and informative. The other exhibitions were incredible too I was very pleased I visited this little gem. A definite recommendation to anyone interested in film and moving image its a fantastic place and the staff were very friendly.

Cannot recommend this museum enough! So informative, tons of hands-on exhibits (with sanitizer present!), and permanent collection pieces that are just phenomenal. So well curated and produced. Looking forward to visiting again in the future!

A good look at the museum and activities will take roughly 3 to 4 hours, less than that if you just want to look without interacting with the displays that allow you to.

For the lovers of the cinema, is good?

Ye Hang Yeo | Oct 1, 2018

Well. I'm a fan of cinema and I would say it's quite good. There's exhibits of cameras and lighting equipment and also a voice over studio for you to play around with. A sound effects studio etc... It depends on how hardcore of a cinema fan you are. I would say it's good.

Parking is at a premium in that area, so parking lots would be hard to find and not close to museum

As we are in New York City, the Mayor's mandate requires all visitors (ages 5+) to present proof of vaccination (along with photo ID for adults) and everyone must wear face masks. As of Dec. 27, all visitors ages 12 and older must be fully vaccinated (two shots, unless you received the J&J vaccination).

Willie Gaines | Sep 30, 2020

Haunting unlikely, though the thought of being there after closing, amongst all those puppets (however much I loved them) in the dark, gives me the creeps.

How long does it take to visit the museum? Is 3 hours enough?

Krisia Ayala | Oct 1, 2019
CeeCee B. | Oct 1, 2019

If you mean to tour the museum, I think that is entirely up to you. I don't think there is a time limit on a visit. I would say if you are there to leisurely view everything it offers 2-3 hours. They have quite a bit to see and a few activities, as well as a small gift shop area. Hope that helps.
