jell-o gallery museum

We were in Leroy passing through with the MINI Cooper rally. They were very friendly at the museum- who knew Jello had such a history? The workers were so enthusiastic - it was contagious. We all had fun there.

Absolutely love off-beat spots like this and I wasn't disappointed. Who knew Le Roy had so much to offer the world!!! Between the history of Jell-O and the transportation museum downstairs, it was awesome to kill about 90 minutes going through. Definitely recommend.

The Jello-O Museum was, welllll, not great. I am so sorry to say that, cuz I was super excited to go!! We love off-beat, small museums (for example the POTATO MUSEUM in Idaho rocked!), so I expected this to be right up our alley. But it was basically just one guy talking to us for ten minutes (he kept referring to our visit as "his monologue"...). The space is very small and mostly has old Jell-O boxes in display cases. Entry fee is too high for what they have to offer.There is SO MUCH potential - it is JELL-O for heavens sake!!! The colors are perfect for a beautiful, fun, educational experience. But it is just rather boring... There are old Jell-O commercials playing on a tiny monitor (which sat on top of a large apparently non-functioning tv??). The worst part of the experience is the GIRAFFE in the back - an actual read dead "stuffed" giraffe.. Had nothing at all to do with Jell-O (except that at one point Jell-O used a giraffe in a commercial). The note by it said it was with a circus in town and dropped dead, and the local taxidermy guy said, "Hey, that would be a cool project to stuff!!!". So now it sits, NO LEGS, in a JELLO-O Museum??? HUH? Disgusting. Won't be suggesting any friends go visit this place. :(

This is a fun place to learn about Jell-O and it's history. There is so much to see and read that we need to go back again. While you are there go to Leroy's Historic House next door.

I actually went to the Jello Museum before I joined Tripadvisor but I Feel compelled to write this review. I will always be a great memory. This is an essential side trip if you are going to Niagara Falls. I had my receipt mounted and I proudly display it at my barber shop in Rutland Vermont. A great family pilgrimage!

Can't believe I waited this long to go there!! It was sooooo interesting & the woman who gave us a short history was full of drama in giving us the story. She really knows how to get someone's attention & keep it! I believe her name was Ruth.

We were part of a group of 1,000 people in about 400 - 500 MINI Coopers that invaded this small town to visit the museum. Such a friendly town, they came out to greet us and everyone was cheering and friendly. They made us feel very welcome at the museum and had goodie bags for us. The museum is really cute and we learned a lot about the history of Jell-O. It's fun and informative with very friendly staff.

It was a fun ride from the west side of Rochester. We used Buffalo Rd. And stopped at Black creek. The museum is staffed by some very proud retirement Ladies! Ruth is a very good orator (story teller).

We didn't know about this, just happened to drive by. It was a great way to spend an hour, very informative and the basement transport museum was also very interesting!

We all enjoyed the visit and learning the history of jello. Good for kids/adults old enough to read. Unfortunately there are no jello food products available to buy - could have gone for a pudding pop treat after seeing the old ads. :)

What a neat place to visit and learn about one of my favorite desserts. Very interesting presentation about the history of Jell-o.

This was actually my 2nd stop to the Jello museum. I had gone once many years ago, and after finding a great deal on Groupon, decided to go again. Took my mother and 3 year old. (He loved the Jello play area!) Although the Museum is small and probably takes about half hour to go through, it's worth it. The old cars, carriages and sleighs on the bottom floor was also a treat, as last time I went, I don't remember going down there, so don't miss! Ruth the guide was an absolute Gem! She told us the history, and we just loved her. The store was great with lots of different items! Don't miss this little museum, it's a fun stop!

OK, I'm not an unbiased reviewer here. I grew up in LeRoy. Jell-O was invented just down the street from where I lived. Many of my relatives, friends and neighbors worked at "The Jell-O." My family has a brick on the walk and one of the docents is the mother of a high school classmate.That out of the way, I always stop by this cute museum when I'm visiting town. The story of Jell-O is the story of America in the 20th Century. I especially like the illustrations by Maxfield Parrish and, of course, everyone loves Bill Cosby. Bring the whole family.

Fun to look at all the old ad's, packaging and learn facts about Jello. Friendly staff, nice gift shop.

What an awesome little museum! Lots of history and excellent display items. Our narrator, Ruth Harvie, was fantastic. She did the preamble narration to the museum...very witty and interesting. She made sure she pointed to us the most important things to see. What a great host! I don't recall the name of the young lady working with her that day, but she was so friendly and welcoming! Worth the adult price of $4.50.
