This is a quite small museum - just two large rooms and the entrance lobby plus a gift shop. When we visited the entire exhibit was of the historical dresses for the queen and princesses of the Rose Parade. This was a bit of a disappointment as we were hoping to learn more about the city. I understand that the exhibits change regularly and we should have checked their website before walking all the way from the Del Rey light rail station on the Gold Line (about a mile). I was very impressed with the archives located in the basement. The librarian there was able to help me find the location of the hotel owned and run by my great grandfather in the early 1900's and offered to look through their extensive collection of photographs going back to the 19th century.

Small museum. Had a lot in the 2 rooms we got to look through. Outside they had a small Finnish house that you could walk through and a mini mansion tour.

There is a lot of cool Sci-fi type things here. We went during MOTA day in Pasadena. The entrance was free and they had people dressed up as fiction characters. They were all very friendly and love taking pictures with the children, The place is not huge but there are a lot of interesting things here.

This was simply the worst 'museum' experience of my entire life. I thought I was at the wrong place, but after triple-checking I indeed was in a place called 'Pasadena museum of history' and furthermore, people here seem to be reviewing the same place and giving it 5 stars? Stranger things have happened I guess... OK, but to the point: After paying 6 dollars for a student entrance fee (wow, what a discount from the regular fee which is 7 dollars), I was genuinely excited to learn about Pasadena history and ready to explore the exhibit. The 'exhibit' turns out to be two small rooms with some dresses (!) that took us about a minute and half to explore. Apparently the dresses is the current exhibit, which I should have checked online, but I don't think I can be blamed for expecting a real museum from a place called 'Pasadena museum of history' without having to look up that it's worthless. I was going to demand my money back, but my friend convinced me not to. We browsed the gift shop, which entertained us for about 3 minutes, because it is not interesting at all. Please don't come here!!!! Instead, go to an actual museum like for example the Norton Simon museum, which is excellent.

Visited for the first time tonight. Great exhibition consisting of old science fiction memorabilia. Not the largest museum, but we'll worth the visit.
