Fascinating tour, and lots of room to explore many neon signs in the ballroom at your leisure.

This place was great! There is a short movie showing the technique for making a neon sign; after that you get a guided tour of the museum. After the tour you can go back through any part of the museum for a more in-depth view. Check hours. They close for the winter to make repairs to some of the old signs.
