  • We had so much in this museum. It is so informative and easy to get through quickly. I would recommend to anyone who enjoyed I Love Lucy and Lucille Ball.

  • I love Lucy and I love this museum! Highly recommend if you are a fan! So many beautiful displays, opportunities to have your photo taken in several sets for $10 for 3 minutes. Short videos of her and Desi along with so many props, outfits and photos.
  • My friend and I stopped in to see the Lucille Ball/Desi Arnaz Museum on a Sunday in October. There were only a few people there so we didn't have to contend with any crowds. We really enjoyed the museum and loved learning about the life of Lucy and Desi. There were many photos as well as memorabilia from the I Love Lucy show. There were recreations of the different sets that have been part of the I Love Lucy show. Throughout the exhibit there are tv screens showing snippets of different I Love Lucy shows as well as interviews, etc. There is a second building next door that is part of the museum and it features Lucy and Desi's life outside of I Love Lucy. Both buildings are well worth your visit. We spent about an hour in each building. Both have gift shops if you want to take home a Lucy souvenir. Admission into the museum was about $19 per person and gave us access to both buildings. Accessibility: The entire museum is very wheelchair friendly. However, while using the restroom I found it nearly impossible to maneuver my chair into the stall in a way where I could fit the chair and simultaneously reach the grab bars. Grab bars should be on the left AND the right of the toilet.
