This was a very worthwhile trip for us. We love Lucille Ball and this gave you an even more insight into who she was and her impact on so many people. It was so interesting to view all the memorabili… Full review by Drumbum13

Most of my friends from the Skyline Drive Corvette Club grew up with "I Love Lucy." This museum was filled with Lucy and Desi, from their earlier years to the end of their lives. It was so much fun w… Full review by B9957SPsusans

Really liked the focus on Lucy's career as a rising motion picture actress, Desi's family history from Cuba and how they met and were married. Did not know that Lucy bought DesiLou from Desi in 1962 … Full review by BHM7248

Jamestown is a very walkable city, I stayed at the Doubletree downtown which is in walking distance of both the Lucy Desi Museum and the Comedy Center. There are several restaurants, cafe's and coffee shops located in the downtown area. I enjoyed the Allen Street Diner which is a little more than half a mile away from the Hotel. Like the previous reviewer I also enjoyed the Hot Spot Cafe. Plus the Double Tree has an onsite restaurant.
Jamestown is very walkable. I suggest staying in town and walking to both comedy places and many restaurants in town, Nothing fantastic. Just average mom-and-pop cheap …
Jamestown is very walkable. I suggest staying in town and walking to both comedy places and many restaurants in town, Nothing fantastic. Just average mom-and-pop cheap-priced restaurants that are easy on your budget. There is a nice one outside of Jamestown I can't remember the name about a block or 2 from Lucy's home she grew up at
how long does it take to go through both the museums

It depends on your interests. Could take an hour or two at each museum, or you can spend more time if some displays interest you. At the comedy center museum there are interactive …
It depends on your interests. Could take an hour or two at each museum, or you can spend more time if some displays interest you. At the comedy center museum there are interactive things to do, and audio/visual recordings of old tv shows.

Hello. So sorry for this late response..I just saw this post. For us, the museum visit only took 45 minutes. If you are a real Lucy fan you will know most of what is in the museum. It was nice to see some of her and Desi's famous outfits, and the sets from the show, but it was a quick visit. The National Comedy Center nearby was so much more interesting and we were there for a couple of hours. But all Lucy fans should try to get to the Museum...just for the experience.
There is parallel parking on the streets nearby and it is fairly easy to find a spot. If you are going to the National Comedy Center as well and walking is not an issue, there is ample …
There is parallel parking on the streets nearby and it is fairly easy to find a spot. If you are going to the National Comedy Center as well and walking is not an issue, there is ample parking there and it is 3 blocks away.
