What a blast from the past! Interesting funny all around. Definitely worth a visit !!
A native/local of Leroy gave us the history. Very informative. Loved the displays and the antiques downstairs. Photo ops! : Nice little side trip off the highways.Barb RNewfeild, NY
Date of Visit: Fri July 7Small, unique, and niche museums are our thing. We love checking out things like that, and if there is one dedicated to a beloved brand like Jell-O – of course we had to visit.In the Small town of LeRoy NY (just outside of Rochester) is the birthplace of the iconic Dessert – Jell-o. We have been here before several years ago – but it was long enough ago that we had to come back.Since our last visit – they have renovated and made some changes – so it is a good thing we came back.This museum has displays on everything related to Jell-o. From the early days of its discovery, to early marketing, its place in pop culture, and celebrity endorsements. There is one major celebrity Spokesperson who while still included in the museum, has had their presence drastically reduced since we were last there. (rightfully, so)The gift shop has a nice collection of merch from t-shirts, trinkets, jello-molds, and other fun items.The museum is small, so it doesn’t take a long time to go through it, but if you do all of the quizzes, scavenger hunts, and trivia – it takes longer – but it is very informative. This is a fun stop that wont take up a lot of your time, or impede your progress on your road trip. see @rogue_trippers on instagram for more photosThe staff are all very friendly, and knowledgable of their product museum.
With a smiling staff ready to service you, this charming museum is a must see.Plenty of parking in the back and a cost if $5 gets you an interesting journey through the world of jello.So many fascinating exhibits and many jello molds to see, makes for a fun afternoon. Good for ages young to old you will have a fascinating experience.
This museum has tons of history about how the Jell-O product got started. The museum is small but packed with lots of pictures, photos, artwork, and everything associated with Jell-O. My favorite exhibit was the collection of molds used to make it. The downstairs area features a nice collection of carriages of all types. The workers were very nice and knowledgeable. The museum also has a gift shop with a variety of souvenirs.
