"They have a delightful puppet theater with several shows a day. It's not well advertised at the museum but the shows are always a hit with the kids. They're worth 30 mins of your time while there."

"Great market. Lots of dining options from BBQ, Chinese, Burgers, to Philly Cheesesteaks. Even have chocolate stalls, fresh fish and farm goods from area Amish. Right next door to Hilton Garden Inn."

"The focus is on more than just textiles. You’ll find work that incorporates painting, video, and other mediums. The gift shop merchandise is just as quirky and contemporary as the museum’s exhibits."
DailyCandy - 9.1
"Very nice museum but not always family friendly. Call ahead and ask if the exhibits are appropriate for kids before you come."
