Beautiful building, beautiful afternoon. The guide was informative but the whole experience was low-key. After we sat in the sanctuary and chatted, and the staff were happy to let us linger. It's less a museum than an aesthetic and historical experience.

Eldridge Eats Food Tour- a history of the Lower East Side- was excellent. The guide was terrific, knows the area and its history inside and out, and presented the info in an engaging and easy to follow way. A knish, dumplings, ruggelah and pickle opportunity from LES favorites enhanced the experience. I’ve been raving about this ever since. I even went back to the area the next day on my own to revisit some of the stops.

The building is magnificent. From the outside you would not believe the beauty and history inside. The tour guide was informative and amusing. The hour went by really quickly. The museum lets you see the true history of the lower east side .

The synagogue was stunning! The Museum at Eldridge Street is a Jewish synagogue/temple which turned into a museum. It is the most beautiful synagogue I have seen inside and out. The prices are expensive though. Under 5 is free, $8 for children 5-17, $10 for seniors and $15 for adults. It’s very worth it and I highly recommend!

This is a beautiful synagogue and museum with fascinating history behind it. I did the docent-led tour with my husband and 12 year old son recently during our visit to NYC. The docent was knowledgeable, friendly, and provided a wealth of historical information about the synagogue's history. It was a great value, too! This was a great complement to the Tenement Museum, also located in the Lower East Side. Highly recommend!

The Museum at Eldridge Street is a must-visit! It's a gorgeous, awe-inspiring space with a rich history. The guided tour is definitely worthwhile (loved my tour led by Rachel!), as the details shared by the docent truly bring the space to life and add so much depth and dimension. The current "28 REMARKABLE WOMEN... AND ONE SCOUNDREL" exhibit is also fun, and educational. A great place to vist for NYC locals and visitors alike!

I have lived in NYC for over 15 years but I never knew the the Museum at Eldridge existed until recently. WOW. I went in time for a docent led tour with Susan. Susan is AMAZING. Her breath of knowledge is incredible and she was so kind and encouraged lots of questions. 5 stars! 10 Stars! All the Stars! Do you want to see a unique architectural wonder? Do you want to hear unique and essential historical information about the Lower East Side (which is key element of the history of NYC) go see this incredible beautiful place.

I attended an online course on Frida Khalo so I didn’t go to the museum. That said, the talk was genuinely informative and interesting and I learned a great deal about this wonderfully talented artist’s life, and her many ties to the Jewish community. I plan on visiting this museum and taking more online classes due to the sheer convenience.

Interesting small museum. Excellent tour by Susan. Highly recommend taking the time if you are interested in NYC social and immigrant history and culture. Paris well with Tenement museum tour. Small museums are gems!!

The museum is breath taking and very moving. It stirs a great deal of emotion. The menorah collection was unbelievable. The history of the Jewish people, their immigration and their environment was related wonderfully by our very knowledgeable docent, Susan. Highly recommend.
