Who doesn't remember jello desserts growing up! This was a really great little place that follows the history of Jello I loved so much. Definately a place you should visit if you're in the area. Staff was friendly and answered questions people had. A second museum is downstairs, rooms full of historic artifacts. Visit the little gift shop, nice place to get gifts.

The Jell-O Museum in Leroy is an excellent place to visit. If you park on the main road, you can walk down a beautiful path to the museum. The women are helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly. In addition to the Jell-O Museum, there's another Museum downstairs.

Small, unique, and niche museums are our thing. We love checking out things like that, and if there is one dedicated to a beloved brand like Jell-O – of course we had to visit.
In the Small town of LeRoy NY (just outside of Rochester) is the birthplace of the iconic Dessert – Jell-o. We have been here before several years ago – but it was long enough ago that we had to come back.
Since our last visit – they have renovated and made some changes – so it is a good thing we came back.
This museum has displays on everything related to Jell-o. From the early days of its discovery, to early marketing, its place in pop culture, and celebrity endorsements. There is one major celebrity Spokesperson who while still included in the museum, has had their presence drastically reduced since we were last there. (rightfully, so)

The gift shop has a nice collection of merch from t-shirts, trinkets, jello-molds, and other fun items.
The museum is small, so it doesn’t take a long time to go through it, but if you do all of the quizzes, scavenger hunts, and trivia – it takes longer – but it is very informative. This is a fun stop that wont take up a lot of your time, or impede your progress on your road trip. see @rogue_trippers on instagram for more photos

The staff are all very friendly, and knowledgable of their product & museum.

Enjoyed hearing and reading about the history of Jell-O. See the names of the bricks in front that lead to it, some previous employees and salesmen was neat.

One of the more fascinating places I've been to. Leroy New York is the birthplace of Jello. They offer a guided tour. It's a really good learning experience. They offer a AAA discount this is operated by the historical society. The basement has an antique Cadillac and some horse and buggies and sleighs. Which was really cool because I never saw one close up. I wish they would get some of those restored to working condition. Hidden to Kraft foods this would be a good idea to have the Jello vehicle for parade use. The souvenir shop was awesome. It has souvenir t-shirts with vintage jello products on them in all the jello colors. I would have to say this is one of the great undiscovered museums in America. and I had a blast and learned a lot. Fantastic staff giving the tour and gave me beneficial tips of where I would find food in Leroy based in my taste and budget and they were right

This museum has tons of history about how the Jell-O product got started. The museum is small but packed with lots of pictures, photos, artwork, and everything associated with Jell-O. My favorite exhibit was the collection of molds used to make it. The downstairs area features a nice collection of carriages of all types. The workers were very nice and knowledgeable. The museum also has a gift shop with a variety of souvenirs.

Fun little place! Didn't realize what a part of Americana Jell-o was!
Lots of info - the chronology of flavor introductions, lots of molds - and if you are at all interested in horse-drawn carriages and historic tools the Transportation Exhibit in the basement.
