The Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald Museum — Attraction in Montgomery

As a family who loves to visit museums when we travel, we were extremely disappointed at this “establishment.” It is very, very unprofessional. First off, the landscaping outside looked like no one had touched it in over a year. Good luck trying to find the sidewalk. When we walked in the doors, we couldn’t find any staff. Instead, we had to ring a bell because the staff was hiding in the back playing on their phones. The lady was very rude. She told us it was $10 each (there was 4 of us). She said to just put the money in the “box.” So we put our $40 in it. The lady didn’t even check to see if we were honest about how much money we put in. After we paid, the lady went back into the back to chill on her phone. Keep in mind that we called before we came to ask about tours. So we were very confused as to why we were left alone. We went to find her and told her that we were told there were tours available by the lady on the phone. The woman said that we talked to her (so here she admits to lying). She said that they have been moving because of water damage (so if this is true, they should have closed the museum for this day). She asked if we wanted to speak to the director. We said yes. So this lady comes at us stomping around with a huge attitude. She said “HOW CAN I HELP YOU.” We explained the situation (expecting to be offered to receive our money back, but that wasn’t the case). She offered to give us (and I quote) “a quick tour.” Boy, she was not kidding because it took less than 5 mins. And she didn’t even take us through all the opened rooms. She was sarcastic the whole time and then left. Shortly after, we left too to write this review. IF YOU ACTUALLY WANT TO LEARN ABOUT FITZGERALD AND HIS WIFE, DO NOT GO HERE! YOU WILL LEARN MORE FROM A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH THAN BY VISITING THIS MUSEUM. INSTEAD TAKE YOUR MONEY TO NANCY’S ITALIAN ICE! It is in Montgomery, AL and it was definitely money well spent! Thank you and have...

My family stopped by here on our way back to Louisiana after a trip to Savannah. I wish we had had more time to really explore this house. They have so much to see and read an explore. It's a very complete an expansive collection of both of their literary works and art. It does cost to get in which is a little steep. They call it a tax deductible donation and I even had to pay for both of my children who are under the age of 4 and can't read lol. Still it is a very cool place to visit especially if you are into Zelda and Scott. It's really interesting to see Zelda's paintings and see their personal items and learn about different aspects of their lives. Montgomery Alabama is just a cool town to visit they have a lot to offer in a lot to do and see. This place also has an Air BnB. I don't think I could stay in this house long term because the smell of the old books and clothes is really overwhelming. I'm surprised that they don't have these items kept in a humidity controlled environment. The woman that we met who was working there was very sweet to both of...

I, along with several others, purchased tickets for the Fitz Gala back in May 2019. I made a bid during the auction on a couple of things. One being a one-night stay in their Zelda Suite. I paid for it, it was not a discounted price and it certainly wasn’t gifted to me. Enter the Covid Era. The room was the last thing on my mind. March 2020 rolled around and I contacted the museum and they told me they do their bookings through AirBnB. There were several different dates that worked for us, but they were booked. No problem. I just thought I’d check back at a later time; at no time during any of correspondence was it relayed that there was a “use by” date. Back and forth with an employee over Facebook messages through the months (which turned into years) and now the museum told me they could no longer honor their offer. The room I paid for is available, but the museum chose to not keep their word. It’s not the money, it’s the fact that a local business would be so unprofessional, rude, and lacking with their communication, and shady with...
