Looking for something truly unforgettable during your stay? Just a short drive away, you’ll find one of the region’s most fascinating attractions — the Corning Museum of Glass (CMoG). This world-renowned museum celebrates 3,500 years of glassmaking history, art, and innovation in one spectacular space.
The museum is more than a place to look — it’s a place to experience. Wander through galleries showcasing breathtaking contemporary glass art, ancient artifacts, and interactive exhibits that reveal how glass shapes our world.
You can even watch live glassblowing demonstrations by master artisans or make your own glass creation — from ornaments to flowers to pumpkins — with the help of skilled glassworkers. It’s an inspiring experience for all ages, and kids 17 and under get in free year-round!
Whether you’re traveling with family, exploring with friends, or planning a romantic day trip, CMoG offers something for everyone. Enjoy seasonal events, art installations, and special exhibits, then browse the Museum Shops for one-of-a-kind glass gifts and souvenirs.
The museum is open daily from 9 AM to 5 PM (closed only four days per year) and is located at 1 Museum Way in Corning, NY. You can easily pair your visit with nearby dining, shopping, or a stroll through Corning’s charming Gaffer District.
After a day of discovery and creativity, return to your cozy rental to relax — maybe with a glass of local Finger Lakes wine — and reflect on the artistry you’ve just seen.
Your stay here puts you right at the heart of it all: wine, water, and world-class art.
