I love going to this museum. It is never crowded. The displays are always so interesting. I am continually Blown Away by the talent of the artist the created the items. Im also fascinated by the historical information.

All I have to say is WOW! I did not expect such craftsmanship and beauty in this place. These woodworks and statues are amazingly detailed and realistic. They do have some strong COVID19 measures, which might seem annoying but it’s for the best of everyone and worth it.

Beautiful museum. My 2 young children & I visited and we loved it! We look forward to visiting again in the future.Thank you!

Showcases the art (both decoy and traditional paintings) of Lem and Steve Ward.Also gives an overall history of the local seafood industry.This is a self-guided tour. The best information was provided by a video exhibit. Press a button and watch a video about the lives of the 2 brothers from Crisfield, and the decoy making industry.Also has a gift shop and some Charley Harper memorabilia. Exhibits may rotate. Check the website of the museum.An outdoor walking area outside of the museum, accessible from the parking lot, is near the Wicomico River quite scenic.

We went to the museum on a Saturday morning right after they opened. Their award winning carvings are some of the best Ive ever seen. It took us about 2 hours to go through the museum and the volunteer was their to offer us assistance and provide information. They have a nice outside area with sculptures and a walking trail. I highly recommend this museum for anyone who enjoys exquisitely detailed wood carving.

Beautiful and educational museum on duck decoys and the art of making them. The detail and craftsmanship is breathtaking and well worth the visit.

Small, but fun day trip. Very informative center, and thorough explanations of art work. The museum is very focused on the bird hunting culture of Delmarva. The small trail had great scenery, a good way to spend an afternoon.

The museum was interesting and enjoyed it.Disappointed in the lady at the counter. She was a bit scattered explaining everything they had in the museum as there were other venues going on that day. We paid to see the Andy Warhol exhibit, which was very disappointing. We thought it would be better known pieces, but turned out to be random shots my children could have produced.

We went into this meuseum a little skeptical but came out loving it. There is a part on the history of the decoy and then decoys from around the country. But the best part is the part where they have the ones from competition these are lifelike and seem to defy gravity. Would recommend

Lots of good pokemon go stops!

Wonderful informative museum. Great place anytime of the year. Amazing artists from all over. The Ward brothers were humble but so talented to gift their history for this place. Must see.

A beautiful museum for all ages. I thought it was just for adults but my 2 year old loved seeing all the birds!! They also have a small childrens area play space and lovely outdoor nature path. Walkable to the zoo too.

A great place with a great story! It’s a piece of history to walk through the museum and see how decoy carving began. I have seen the original museum at Salisbury University. It’s good to see how a room of Ward Decoys has come to life for everyone to appreciate. The displays at the museum have all been well planned. To see the past and present carvings is an amazing sight!

Nice place to enjoy and have fun especially the kids but staffs were not accommodating.

Nice view,fresh air ang good relaxing.but its a place that only few people visit.

Beautiful museum.

Incredible place. If you love birds, you cant miss it.

Such a fantastic museum. This tribute to the Ward Brothers is well worth the time to take the entire family. We could spend 2-3 hours being awed by the delicate carvings, photographs and presentations.

Not a whole lot on the inside... Walked through in about 15 minutes. Outside has a small nature trail. If I could suggest they get some grounds people. Some of the outdoor displays were a bit grown over. Thank goodness we had free passes, or I would have been upset at the loss of money. Gave 3 stars for the few cool things...

Awesome place to visit and utilize. Talk to Mike, hes extremely accommodating.

Far more interesting than I expected. This museum documents not only the place of waterfowl in the life and culture of America, but also the equipment and hunting techniques used. It also houses a stunning collection of world-class woodcarvings. Well worth your time to visit!

Amazing art. Some of them looked so lifelike. I didnt think I would enjoy it but I did

Very beautiful Venue n the people r very helpful

They gave my kindergarten class a wonderful tour!!

My son worked there. Its beautiful on the inside

Beautifully maintained exhibits, and our guide was lovely!

A must see if you’re into art, especially birds and carving. There’s a nice pond in the back that’s good for birding too.

This museum is amazing! Ive been to some other duck decoy museums but this collection is the best Ive ever seen.

Very impressive designs of decoys.

Great store

I have been there several times. Each time I go I see something new and interesting. A wonderful experience.

Did you know you van host events here? I do now we had the most awesome baby shower for my daughter here the staff was awesome and helped us set up too I was impressed

Fantastic carvings! Live demonstration.

We go every year! It is a nice way to spend an afternoon, the decoy displays are so life like!

Attended a wedding reception here and it was beautiful, well manicured and very clean.

Love the Ward museum. It’s beautiful. Family friendly. The bird watching kits are super fun! Very educational. The staff is super friendly and excited to teach you about the wildlife.

Incredible place. Shows the word family and how they developed the art of waterfowl carving.

Had my wedding there. Absolutely beautiful

Great break from the beach for. Whole family

Beautiful Museum well maintained Great Events!

Wonderful display of some of the finest bird and waterfowl carved artwork in the world! Great history of the craft that is 1 of only 2 American born crafts, the only one that grew into fine art!

Very good collection of functional and artistic decoys. Worth the price of admission. They have special events as well including an occasional free admission date (sometime in October 2018 this year). There are also smaller but similar museums in Crisfield, MD and Smith Island, MD.

Do you like ducks? Do you like duck art? Do you want to see thousands of them? Are you old,rich, and boring? Are you old, rich, boring and like ducks or duck hunting? Youll love this museum. Its a really niche museum, that isnt geographically specific. Its *exactly* what you are looking for. It doesnt matter the subject, its a great museum.

Outstanding museum. Want to go back and spend the day. True artistry in wood carving birds and other animals.

I came to this museum with my family on our trip to Ocean City and it was so humbling as an artist and as a marylander. I would recommend everyone go to this Museum it is inexpensive and it is worth every penny. Upon leaving we saw a great blue heron in the observation deck area out back of the museum that just sealed the whole trip with a cherry on top. I learned so much about the brothers and their influence on wildfowl culture. I really would suggest that you take your children or another person with you so that you can reminisce in years to come about your experience. Or go by yourself and learn something new. But definitely a must see if youre in Salisbury. Peace.

Amazing sculpture. Not what you think if you are just picturing duck decoys. Much much more than that.

A very interesting experience, even if youre not an enthusiast. Fate brought my husband and me here while on vacation. We saw the signs and vaguely remembered reading about the place online so we went - the first room was filled with very old basic looking ducks, which sortve makes you think oh god what have I gotten myself into? I mean, neat but not price of admission neat... But fear not traveler, it gets progressively more interesting!The last room is nothing short of mind blowing. The carvings are so insanely intricate its hard to believe they arent real. I mean, if the whole museum was only that last room, itd still be worth the price of admission.Word to the wise for the uninitiated... if youre going here on a lark its actually quite popular - this place is like the world epicenter and leading authority on all things wooden duck, and so its likely you will find yourself alongside other people who are taking this very seriously. Overall its super cool and highly recommended.

The most beautiful wood carvings I have ever seen.

Very interesting place about 2 men and their decoys.

Went to an event there so we didnt see the exhibits. Beautiful location.

The scenery here is so beautiful!

Amazing decoy and bird- related art, well displayed. A fine stop.

Highly recommend this museum. The competition carvings are unbelievable

Free for active duty military and family. Impressive collection of antique duck decoys and absolutely wonderful examples of modern woodcarving. Some of the carved birds looked real rather than wooden. Incredible!

Clean, easily accessable, friendly staff, great art. Great kids programs. General admission price a bit much for a family with elementary age kids.

A one of a kind museum, plenty of beautiful carvings, activities for the kids, some history thrown in. Nature trails and a scenic location. Oh and its free for this october; usually $7 for adult. A must visit.

Things were beautifully displayed lots of information

They have tons of decoy ducks and more birds that look so real !@!small but very interesting museumi spent about 1 hr here

Great place for local color on the Eastern Shore.

Great for playing Pokemon go

Dont miss it everyone from the Eastern shore should visit. Waterfowl art and changing exhibits are terrific. Cute gift shop.

Wonderful place to visit! Very interesting.

Beautiful carvings...lots of local history

Lovely place. I havent explored inside very much, but the surrounding area is very scenic (and lots of bugs, so wear bug spray).

A Very Pleasant place to be!!!

Interesting place to if you enjoy water fowl or wood work & art. Recently expanded to accommodate large functions.

This place has fantastic wood carving of wild birds. It is really amazing.

I was offered a tour of the museum by a very nice volunteer. I do not recall his name but he was very knowledgeable and had a lot of insights on both the artifacts on display and the different exhibits.

Beautiful facility! Many hand carved watwr fowl!

A must in south central Maryland. Truly American art from its most simple to masterpieces.

Excellent displays, interesting exhibits, well-curated, stunning architecture and landscape. Id return.

Very good place for kids to learn especially if theyre interested in art and wild fowl

Wonderful and beautiful exhibits about our local waterfowl.

Very good place for a bird lover.

The bird carvings are fantastic. Great place to visit

Looks like an interesting place to visit. I didnt have much time so I visited only to do the Ingress mission. There is an outside boardwalk around the pond.

Great place. A lot to be learned here, plus a beautiful setting. Glad I came!

A great collection of water fowl art and an important part of Eastern Shore culture. Beautiful setting also.

A great place to visit. Its an easy day trip from most every place on the Eastern Shore. The craftsmanship on display is amazing. Family friendly.

Great museum

Amazing wildfowl art! Great collection and history to go with it! Worth the travel!

Nice place for cute little party

Very nice inside .. I was very surprised.

Very interesting place!

Beautiful facility for party rental overlooking the pond with outside access.

Very educational and always have fun things for children to do

Interesting visit but I wish the walking paths around the building were better maintained

Great Place to put on your must visit list

A pleasant - and I mean no disrespect - surprisingly entertaining visit

Really interesting place, worth the price.

As much as I thought wandering a museum dedicated to various swamp ducks would enlighten or entertain me, I still somehow left feeling empty inside.

Great place. Also members

A good place to take your family to visit

Extraordinary collection of waterfowl art and a wonderful gift shop with lovely and quirky items. The building is quite chilly, however, so bring along a sweater or hoodie.

Beautiful wildfowl art and children with programming.

Lovely art

Awesome place. awesome people.

Cool. Got a penguin.

Beautiful
