  My much anticipated Museum of Sex outing was a bit of a let down. First, ticket prices that read on the QR code app as $29 jumped to $45 , once you clicked on the application, this is not including tax. Next what I had hoped wasn’t a Eurocentric and white led history tour of sexuality with a dash of Asian influence (that dash should be more like several cups), proved this “new age museum” for the masses, was a ruse. Filled with pop - culture artifacts that often didn’t equate to the theme of each floor nor the museum premise. It was a confusing adventure, filled with even more QR codes to play games, and a few that required a pay to play $5 addition. My annoyance would have leveled out if they didnt play the age old game of directing traffic through the gift shop, to spend even more money. I want my money back! This was an overpriced exhibit on cults that didn’t offer student pricing either 😤. And in this economy, that is blasphemous!

  I never leave reviews. Like ever. This place was amazing. It was genuinely informational as well as very amusing and fun! I am disabled and struggle to do stairs. There are lots of stairs that you must climb to see all the exhibits. HOWEVER, I was led to an elevator in an employee only area and brought to where I needed to be. I was given a call button so when I was done with the floor I could be brought to the next one in the elevator. I wish I got the name of the lovely person who guided me between floors because she was amazing. We talked about the floor I was just at and she let me know where I was heading next! She was a delight and you could tell she loved her job. Everyone was super kind and patient and didn’t at all mind helping me Would 1000% recommend with or without a physical disability! Already want to go again!

  The Museum of Sex was a very educational and fun place to spend time with my girlfriend. My favorite moments came with the arcade games, the marriage ceremony that took our picture and gave us wedding rings with a certificate being my favorite as it created a memory we won’t forget. I feel this museum made us get closer and bond better than ever. A few games/attractions where closed/being built which left us feeling limited on what to do, but overall it was a fun time. Would definitely recommend.

  I was excited to visit the Museum of Sex, but the experience felt more like a tourist attraction than a true museum. Most of the exhibits rely on shock value and offer very little educational, historical, or cultural context. The first floor featured a collection of sexual objects with short descriptions, but there was no clear organization or storyline connecting them, and many displays felt random. The exhibits also seemed to be created largely from a male perspective, without fully unpacking how harmful many of these experiences or time periods were for the women involved. A broader issue throughout the museum was the lack of a clear “so what.” Interesting or shocking facts were presented without explaining why they matter. For example, items related to Hugh Hefner were shown without meaningful discussion of his influence on media, the Playboy Bunny system, or how those experiences shaped women’s views of their own sexuality and what society considers sexually desirable. One example was a powerful story about a woman seeking abortion care and being treated poorly by her ex-boyfriend; while compelling, it was presented as a plaque and felt out of place without any historical or cultural context about how politics, religion, and power have shaped views on women’s healthcare. The second floor, which focused on sex cults, had similar issues: the exhibit was hard to follow and failed to explore long-term impacts on women, children, or society more broadly. Interesting topics like sex magic, sexual taboos, and transgender movements were mentioned only briefly, without depth or critical analysis. The type of crowd drawn to this Museum also negatively impacted my experience, as it was rowdy and immature. For example, there was an item on display with a young girl figurine with large breasts, and a plaque explaining how some anime culture has been criticized for sexualizing young girls. A bunch of men were laughing, pointing, and taking photos of the figurine, ironically, not understanding how their behavior was part of the problem. The final floors consisted of carnival-style, sexually themed arcade games that were mildly fun but very surface-level and clearly designed for shock value and photo opportunities rather than learning. Overall, this venue may appeal to people looking for a novelty experience. If you are hoping for a thoughtful, well-curated exploration of sexuality—especially one that seriously considers women’s experiences and examines these topics through a historical, psychological, anthropological, or sociological lens—this is likely to be disappointing.

  This place USED to be super good but they recently unfortunately "neutered" the experience. The Museum is always pretty interesting but a lot of people are there are well for the Carnival games. From the last time I was there, they got rid of 2 crane machines that used to be free play (bringing the 4 to only 2) and made them the exact same prizes, they also took away any sort of prizes from the two staff-manned games which was a huge disappointment as you pay $45+ to get into a short museum but part of the fun was the prizes you could win. The staff were, as always, a highlight but the overall experience has been hurt. Unsure if I will be back :( Overall, a very "mid" tier experience if you have been before. It's not terrible but... you don't want to go into a small museum for $45 for "it's not terrible", I would have expected the museum to get better over time, not worse.
