Drove 30 minutes. He closed the doors 20 minutes early the day we went and didnt even seem care that we where there to look at and buy some of his art. He just looked at us though the locked doors.

At the Ohio Glass Museum, the Ohio TuesDayTrips folks came for a tour and demonstration of glass blowing. We were guided through the museum by Angie who is definitely passionate about glass products and the beauty provided by them as works of art. Her husband, father and Grandfather were all glass blowers in Lancaster.The museum has displays of many different vendors glass such as Anchor Hocking, Fenton and Westmoreland. There is handmade and blown pieces and also molded pieces which were the basic low-cost glass products for the average consumer. Some of the most fascinating pieces were the laboratory glass with intricate tubing inside outer tubes in differing shapes and sizes.After the museum tour we were seated overlooking the glass blowing furnaces and work space. The glass artist was Traci and she made a paperweight with an internal colored design. The onsite glass artists make items sold in the gift shop of the museum. This was fascinating and we would recommend this tour and demonstration whole heartily.

Not very big, but very interesting.

Interesting place staff was spot on .

Guided tour was filled with interesting history and information.Highly recommend glass blowing lessons!

We had a great experience glass blowing an ornament as part of a holiday party. Instructor was very informative and patient.

Very interesting, was there for an ANNIVERSARY celebration , was able to take the time to read the history of glass making. As well as enjoy the celebration.

We visited the museum as part of group activity for boys and girls around 9yrs old. The guide we had was very knowledgeable and both she and the material presented was able to keep the attention of our group. We learned about the history of glass, especially in regard to Lancaster and the surrounding area in Ohio, and the important role this area played in the production of glass and the science/technology behind glass products. Just when you thought glass was and everyday item with little to no impact on your life, you learn how important it has been for science, medicine and technology as a whole. Sure, you can drink from it or eat off of it and if you drop a drinking glass theres not too much to worry about; but what about a cell phones glass screen or chemists glass tubes? What about a researchers viles containing the next vaccine or a rock flying at your windshield while driving down the road. Stop in and learn about the history of glass, the role this region of Ohio has had in making glass and witness glass making at its finest in the hot shop.

Good display of glass and its history. Excellent demonstration of glass making, very knowledgeable and detailed explanation of the process. The gift shop had a nice selection of handmade glass and reasonable prices

I wish I could give 0 stars. This place has treated me terribly!! I called to set up a class for a group of bridesmaids and was never told they will not refund your money even if it’s something beyond my control, only told I could reschedule 24 hours in advance. Something beyond my control had changed and I’ve been calling for 2 weeks (2-3 calls a week) to get my money back and they refuse saying it’s their policy to not refund only reschedule. I am out $180 because of this. The receptionist(s) (I’ve spoken to 2 I believe) have been so rude and have talked to me like I’m 3 and I’ve yet to hear back from the glass blowing class manager, Teresa, herself! I’ve explained I understand policies but this is something that is beyond my control and has now prevented me from booking something different per the brides request. I will NEVER give my business to this place ever again. Had they been the least bit respectful toward me and follows up with a call back to me this rating and rant may have gone a little differently. I would never recommend this place for anything unless you are willing to lose money!

Closed in November and December, which we didnt notice on the website. Thankfully, the kind woman working the gift shop took us for a quick tour and generously shared lots of information.

All of the staff/docents were very friendly and welcoming. Fair price for a tour, short movie, and glass blowing demo. Had a great experience overall and even got to buy a few things from the gift shop!

The glass blowing was quite interesting.

Great educational place- awesome for kids and adults... Staff are amazing!

Neat little museum, but I really dont appreciate being forced into a guided tour, only to be told halfway through the tour that were free to explore the museum on our own after the tour. Let visitors explore how they wish, and consider being open more than three hours at a stretch.

Highly recommend the glass blowing class. The instructor was thorough, fun and you cant beat the price! Perfect for first-timers. The museum gift shop had a lot of affordable glass for sale. Very satisfied!

Small glass museum with a super friendly staff. We went for a glass blowing class and wandered through the museum. Some neat stuff, especially if you like art glass or blowing glass.

Beautiful items are available. Interesting exhibits.

The lady blowing the glas was fantastic but everything eles was hurry get out.....was pretty disappointed about that there was stuff i would have liked to read and looked st closer

Loved the glass blowing demonstration! Plan on returning to take some glass blowing classes!

Amazing place. So glad to find it. Like a hidden gem

Many very interesting and fun things.

This place is so amazing. Our tour guide knew what he was talking about and very friendly. You get to see a glass blowing demonstration and, if youre like me, you will love it. That was my favorite part. They have lots of different types of glass and change their displays every 6 months

Love the tour! The glass was beautiful! I especially enjoyed the glass-blowing demonstration.i will be taking a class to make something for myself! Thanks for a great few hours!

Beautiful glass, knowledge staff. Not a huge collection, but very high quality. The displays rotate regularly and the facility itself is wonderfully restored. If you love local glass it is worth a stop, admission around $6 per person.

Fun

Nice place enjoyed seeing the glassware. Cery welcoming. Four stars as I would like to see more written information.

Excellent place to visit while in Lancaster! Beautiful museum, though a little small, with an amazing and extensive collection. The docents do an amazing job of interacting with and teaching about the glass, and are willing to answer any and all questions presented. The glass making display and classes are also not to be missed!!

The name describes what it is. I found it interesting, everyone was knowledgeable and polite.

A very eclectic and informative place to take the family. You can learn a lot about the way glass is made and even make your own decoration out of glass. Plus my mom works there and shes awesome :-)

Not worth the drive. If you advertise as the Ohio Museum of Glass, you need to have more then a couple of pieces of Ohio made glass. Most of what I saw was Pennsylvania and West Virginia made glass.

If you appreciate blown glass, dont miss Ohio Glass Museum. Affordable gift shop with some amazing pieces.

This place I beautiful and definitely would recommend this place if visiting from out of town. A beautiful place to learn some history throughout Lancaster Ohio!

I had purchased some of the small glass pumpkins on a trip to Lancaster last year and wanted another one to add to my collection (I live in Montana). I spoke with Mary Travis, one of the volunteers at the museum. After a phone call explaining what I was looking for, she worked with the glass blower at the museum and a few short days later I received the perfect pumpkin in the mail!The process could not have been easier nor the results more delightful!Thank you so much to Mary and the OGM for helping me out!

I had to go here for my Ohio graduation tests and the people are so sweet. After one of my tests I was standing in the lobby with other students waiting for our rides and I was the only one standing and one of the ladies comes out and says the other ladies needed my help with something. And I was fully expecting to move a table or something, I go in, and she is standing there with a fold up chair and asks me to take it out into the lobby and use it until my ride arrived, which I did, and when it arrived I returned my chair. That is my story. But other than that just a amazing place to go, some very cool things there. And was perfect for my tests. She also told us students if we wanted to come for a tour to tell them she sent us and we would get a free tour. Sweetest lady ever!

Enjoyed the glass museum.

Interesting museum! Only part I didnt like was that it was a guided tour by default. No option for a self guided tour. This would normally be ok, but we were on a time budget and had to leave halfway through the tour.

Great show of glass blowing and narration for all ages it is something you have to see - gift shop has very unique gifts that make a lifetime heirloom for special ones

Fabulous experience & gift shop is first class

Great place

I am a docent and appreciate all the great people making the museum such a great place!

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Outstanding venue! Talented glass blowers and great staff. An absolute pleasure to visit.

Definitely worth a stroll through, its small, good way to spend a couple minutes while waiting for something downtown.

The glass blowing demonstration is awesome, and very cool gift shop.

Really awesome, easy to get lost in here, theres so much stuff to see.

Teriffic collection of glassware by renowned Ohio glassmakers through the century, which was made more interesting by the excellent docent.

Beautifully historical and a wonderful staff

Great place to visit. Watch the glass blower kids love it.
