"First time there and I loved it. The Mission Impossible and Jim Henson exhibits were awesom. Thoroughly enjoyed being there. I would definitely go back."

"Hands down one of my favorite museums in all of nyc. If you’re here visiting you have to come here it’s a must. They also have limited exhibits as well. Last time I went they had a whole section for the mission impossible movies, which was pretty cool to see. Finally if you love movies and the creative process that goes into it…do yourself a favor stop reading this review and go now!!!!"

"I always love coming here! I have visited a few times. It’s interactive for kids and adults. And there’s great historical pieces too. The Jim Henson exhibit is a favorite of mine! The tickets are not very expensive. I’ve gone on a Saturday and it can get pretty crowded in there stop motion lab or flip book thing, but you can try going at a an earlier time to avoid the crusades. The gift shop also has pretty cool books and things! For me, it’s a must-visit if you’re a New Yorker and want a fun 2-hour-ish outing! It’s definitely not a full-day thing like the AMNH 😅"

"This is a fantastic museum that focuses on the history of moving images, and has a permanent Jim Henson exhibit. We were excited that on our last afternoon in New York City was spent within this museum. Initially, I wanted to check out the Henson related installment, but was surprised by the wealth of movie memorabilia and behind-the-scene work for films. Their extension collection of props, prosthetics, set design, and more brings the magic of the silver screen to guests for a greater understanding and appreciation of the art form. They also have one of the largest collections of movie cameras, old televisions, and even a recreated movie theater for guests to experience. I look forward to visiting this museum when we're back in the area and recommend it to all visitors in Astoria. It'll charm any Jim Henson fan, delight the casual to serious movie-goer, and ignite the passion for films within everyone else."

"Awesome experience!! General admission is free from 2 pm to 6 pm EVERY Thursday. It was busy but not overcrowded; no wait time. There's a bevy of interactive apparatus at your disposal that allows hands-on experience. I didn't get a chance to partake in the interactive options since there was a line for it. I loved the Mission Impossible exhibition. I have a newfound respect for Mr Cruise. In addition, the Jim Henson exhibit provided nostalgia and a host of behind-the-scenes work and thought processes that brought the characters we love to life. This museum is also a wonderful experience for kids."
