Named the “#1 Best New Museum” and “#2 Best New Attraction” in the country by USA Today and one of the “World’s Greatest Places” by TIME magazine, the Comedy Center offers immersive, interactive experiences designed for families and kids of all ages.
At the National Comedy Center, families can:

This unique blend of entertainment and education has earned enthusiastic praise from media and visitors alike. U.S. News & World Report named the Center one of the “25 Top Family Weekend Getaways in the U.S.”, alongside iconic destinations like Walt Disney World and Disneyland.
Local and regional outlets also rave about the experience. Western New York Family Magazine calls it a “Must See Destination… recommended for school-age children and up,” and I LOVE NY highlights it as one of the best “family-friendly indoor activities” in New York State. Visitors from Northwest Pennsylvania and beyond agree — Macaroni KID Erie reported they “spent nearly four hours at the museum and still had to drag our 7- and 9-year-olds away!”
Whether you’re planning a winter break outing, spring break day trip, weekend staycation, or road trip from Eastern Ohio or Central PA, the National Comedy Center delivers laughs, fun, and lasting family memories.
