Fun place. A must see for Superman fans. The collection is over 60 years in the making. My granddaughter wants to go again.

Far be it from me to disparage anything to do with the Man of Steel, but the Super Museum was a super disappointment. In my humble opinion it's as if they got off to a good start but then just gave up. A lot of the vintage memorabilia, radio and comics artifacts, TV and movie props and costumes are awesome... but unfortunately overshadowed by a lot of non-awesomeness. Imagine an overstuffed, partitioned off antique mall where you can't find anything because everything else is in the way.
But please do visit! Don't shy away! Support Metropolis! Just know what you're getting into. It's like shuffling through somebody's super-sized junk drawer.

There is parking in the casino parking lot if you have a larger rig.
