The Super Museum is truly that...an amazing museum covering the entire history and expansive subject of Superman. The memorabilia in the museum include all the actors who played the character of Superman, not just George Reeves and Christopher Reeve. As Superman is a childhood hero, there is representation of many of the childhood items that have the Superman logo, sleeping bags, pajamas, lunch boxes, many many Superman watches. There are also other mementos of Superman, such as a brick from the chimney of the Siegel home where the idea of Superman was conceived in 1939. The museum is in the back of a store, and is a bit cramped, but I was able to get through it in an electric scooter. The price for entry was affordable.

Interesting place. Even if you're not a die-hard Superman fan, there's enough here to keep your interest for a bit. The owner has some interesting tidbits about George Reeves. Worth a trip. And if you go, be sure to visit the La Tequila Mexican restaurant.

Best museum ever! This museum is for everyone, from Superman fans, to people who have never even read a comic book! Enjoyable for everyone and definitely worth a trip over from wherever you are located!

Bought a Superman blanket and was assured it was king size. Turns out that I paid king size price for a twin sized blanket. 79"X95" is a twin size blanket.

This museum truly is "super"! It's a great look back on Superman, from his beginnings in the comic books through the recent and upcoming DC movies. I visited with my Grandmother and Brother and we all had a really great time! The museum is pretty cluttered but that kind of makes it charming. The giant statue outside of the museum was just icing on the cake! Please visit this one of a kind museum. I promise you that you won't be disappointed.
