The Corning Museum of Glass is one of the premier group tour attractions in New York State. We value the group tour business and offer discounted admission as well as a designated motorcoach parking lot. The Museum’s motor coach check-in desk will get your group into the Museum efficiently, so you can make the most of your visit.

The Museum is new every visit, thanks to changing exhibitions such as the new Contemporary Glass Gallery installation. Our live Hot Glass Show is a great way to see how glass is made by amazing artists every day. Guided tours are available for an additional fee, or let your customers explore the Museum on their own.

At any point during your visit, enjoy a meal in our spacious GlassMarket Café. You can choose from sit-down meals, buffets, or vouchers so your group can dine at their leisure. As a thank you for bringing your groups, we provide courtesy cards to your drivers and escorts, which can be used anywhere in the Museum.

P.S. Ask about the combination ticket with the nearby Rockwell Museum of Western Art. Visit both museums and save!
