If you love Jazz, this is the place. Great interactive displays. More

I'm not a jazz fan but I am music and history fan. Found this museum quite good. The interactive displays are top notch and fun even for an adult. Lots of listening stations. And unlike alot of other museums they all worked! More

Being a big fan of jazz, I visited the American Jazz Museum in Kansas City expecting to find a good presentation of the jazz scene in the region. The museum itself is co-located with the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum in the 18th and Vine area of Kansas City. The area itself has several jazz clubs and performing centers adjacent to... More

if you are not a blues or jazz fan already, you might be better off going to a venue in the evening and listening to some live jazz or blues while having a couple adult beverages with friends. if you are already a fan of this music, you may be entertained by the videos, recordings, memoribelia.

I've seen a few reviews that indicated they weren't impressed, but my wife and I and our 18 year old son (not a jazz fan) definitely enjoyed the short time we had in this museum.

The interactive exhibits where you can create your own music is a good feature. Got to learn some good stuff about the jazz... More

A very poor effort indeed. If like me you are a music fan and even though Jazz is not my most used genre I had to visit as it is music history. I could have learned more reading Trumeters Weekly Bugle. OK you can see, read a little and listen to some greats, Parker, Ellington, Fitzgerald and Armstrong, there is... More

I don't know if there's enough in this museum by itself to make it a Wow experience like that other poster said too. But, do it in combo with the baseball museum and it's well worth the additonal $2 and time. The Jazz museum does have quite a few informative stations about the 4 greats - Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington,... More

The American Jazz Museum is not worth the price of admission. The exhibits primarily consist of listening stations and little else. The museum is small and only has information on a handful of jazz artists. I was expecting to see a lot of memorabilia and biographical details about the jazz artists, but left without learning much of anything. I was... More
