Extremely interesting history of Jews in America. We were there for 3 hours, but could have stayed longer if we didn't have another appointment.

Has a lot more potential. Jews are some of the most accomplished and generous people in America; I am sure the museum could be better. I don’t think the “story telling” part of the museum works. The best part, by far, is the Hall of Fame on the ground level. That should probably be most of the museum; seeing artifacts from famous Jews, would be a great way to instill Jewish Pride, and allow for non-Jews to better understand just how many people they know and love are Jewish.

Got myself a kippah. The gentleman working was friendly and attentive. Had a nice conversation with a younger gentleman who was asking for surveys after exiting the shop.

A lot of history, if you’re into American Jewry and their diaspora, there’s many gaps in the museum like broken video stills and empty alleyways and a unique selection of merchandise. Also free on the weekends!

I can't believe what I saw and learned starting on the fourth floor. I have to come back to continue. It's an amazing museum teaching Judism in America. I am from downtown so I am looking forward to getting educated more about the city and Judism.

Just enough for a brief walk through Jewish history in thr US that leaves an appetite to research further.

There really wasn't much that you couldn't find in some history book. There are not a whole lot of items to see, and even fewer hands on items for kids. There is one wagon trail setup for kids but that's about it. Everything else is geared toward adults and older teenagers. Most of it is just text on walls with pictures. It was interesting but not worth a second visit. The attached picture is pretty much what most of it looked like. Another thing that was a bit annoying was that on the west side of the building is giant text that says "Come on in we're free." We went in on Monday and they said we had to come back on Thursday because the museum is closed except for weekends.

This is a very intelligently organized museum. It was extremely interesting and the guide was excellent.

This museum was at the top of my to-see list for my Philadelphia trip. It is so informative and interactive. You will learn loads and loads of Jewish American history. It is a large museum and there is a lot to see. It is free entry but they take donations. The gift shop in the back is well stocked and has lots of options. I had an amazing time here. I spent about two and half hours and the time was well spent.

Only open weekends. Came from NC to see this place. You would think a public museum would be open to the public during the week too. Some people work weekends.

It's a solid museum with good information and well written text. There's a lot of different themes and that's great. Two thumbs up on the 2nd and 3rd floors. That said, the top floor is a bit dire in terms of engagement. I don't need a touch screen at every stop, but all the objects are the same (documents) and that was tough for me. As a side note, our ticket for entry said the museum was open until 5pm (Dec 24) but we were informed upon entry at 2pm that they were closing at 3pm. I'm not going to Karen out, just a note to double check your ticketing software.
