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.

Shipping in the U.S. is $18-20 on average and free if it is a flameworking project. Everything except the sandblasting projects does need to cool down overnight and it can be picked up at noon the next day. We also keep the projects for a month so if you are driving back by you would be able to pick the project up or get it shipped to your hotel. I hope this helps answer your question.

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.

We are so glad to hear that you took the opportunity to Make Your Own Glass flower! Make Your Own Glass projects typically arrive at their destination within 7-10 business days. If it has been longer than that, please reach out to us via our Customer Service number so that we can provide better support.

Hi Yehudis! As other travelers have pointed out, we are open until 8 pm Memorial Day until Labor Day, but you will want to plan several hours here to take in our galleries, watch demonstrations, and possibly Make Your Own Glass. Our average visit is 4 1/2 hours. If you plan on arriving after 4 pm, I recommend that you take advantage of our Save More After 4 promotion. Visit our Hours and Admission page on our website to reserve your tickets online prior to arriving and you can save $4 off admission. As always, Museum admission is valid for two consecutive days, and Kids and Teens 17 and Under are free.

Hi! While we do not have a special area dedicated to Pyrex, we do have several examples in our Crystal City Gallery (in our 35 Centuries of Glass Galleries). This includes some of the first manufactured pieces as well as more nostalgic items such as bowls with a flower pattern the curator chose as she remembered her grandmother having a similar set. If you're looking to buy Pyrex, we have options available in the Shops. We are looking forward to your visit!

Hello! So, a 30-minute demonstration features our glassmakers going through the process of hand-making a basic, but unique piece of glass, typically a vessel such as a vase or bowl. A 90-minute demo is a little different, as it gives artists more time to create unique pieces and often push the boundaries of their skill. These finished pieces range more dramatically based on artist's choice. Children have definitely gone to many of our longer demonstrations, but the factor of keeping their attention may be determined by what type of piece the artist is making. Some artists may spend the whole time creating a museum-quality, curved vessel which may not be as dynamic to watch as when our artists make large, complicated goblets and figures. Both are educational, narrated shows with opportunities for the audience to ask their questions to the Hot Glass team. To answer your second question, we have a Cafe in the Museum that is open 9AM to 5PM. We hope you and your children are amazed by whichever the demonstration you choose!

Hi! You must have missed our entire section dedicated to locally made glass. As well, we have previously examined the mix of products in our shops, and the result was that 63% of our offerings are made in the United States, 11.5% are made in China, and the remaining 25.5% are made in other countries worldwide. Although our buyers seek sources worldwide, the reality is that our options for moderately priced items, those most appropriate as souvenirs, are very limited, with China being the primary one so that may have been the products you were seeing. In addition, the Museum is the exclusive producer and seller of Steuben Glass. If a visitor is looking for American-made or locally made glass, we have a wide assortment for them to choose from.
