Group Tours In Lucille Ball’s Hometown

The National Comedy Center has the capacity to handle groups of all sizes, with free, convenient motor coach parking. While inside, groups can enjoy the Center independently as each guest will receive a personalized comedy experience and interactions with the exhibits based on their unique “sense of humor profile.

 

For over 25 years, the Lucille Ball Desi Arnaz Museum has been welcoming group tours and motorcoaches to Lucy’s hometown of Jamestown, NY. We are dedicated to making your trip a fun and memorable experience that you and your guests will be talking about for years to come and are happy to help customize your experience based on your schedule — from a day trip to a multi-day experience allowing your guests to experience all Jamestown, Chautauqua Lake, and the area has to offer.

 

Our friendly staff can help you book themed dinners in the Tropicana Room, entertainment by comedians and musicians, one-of-a-kind shows during the annual Lucille Ball Comedy Festival and much more. We also offer group tours that include other regional attractions including historic steamboat cruises, Chautauqua Institution, museums, theaters, wineries, nature preserves, and more.
