My partner and I recently bought tickets for this museum, and it was a terrible experience. When we arrived it was not clear where we were supposed to go and who we had to speak to. We noticed that it was an environment where many of the people there all knew each other. There was a DJ and some vendors. We asked one of the workers about the museum and showed them that we had tickets. They were unsure where we had to go but decided to ask around. We saw them ask about 3 people and eventually got the answer that the museum was closed.

We spent $40 each on tickets through AXS only to learn that the museum is closed. Goes without saying this is bad business practice to have tickets for sale on a 3rd party vendor/application when the museum is permanently closed. They even told us that we were the second set of people to come in and say something. We saw the building had 4 floors so we figured while we were there, we would check out the other floors. As we walked up the stairs, we saw two women walking down who thanked the man for letting them see the upstairs. We figured, “oh Great, if those two got to check out the other floors, then we probably can, especially since we bought tickets”. The man did not let us go upstairs even after we explained that we bought tickets for the museum. It’s one thing if nobody was allowed upstairs but that clearly wasn't the case and it happened in front of our faces that two other people were allowed upstairs. Genuine insult and poor customer service. There were people coming up the stairs as we walked down them too, so I can only wonder if they were allowed or not.

We then left very disappointed. Only for a woman to wave at us to come back inside. Turns out she is someone who used to work there and asked us to forward our tickets to her so she can assist us with a refund. Therefore, the best customer service we got was from someone who did NOT even work there! The cannabis community is normally a very welcoming one, especially in New York. We felt like outsiders walking in and were treated as such. Do NOT waste your time...

Sub par at best. I came expecting something amazing but ended up arriving at a messy place. The vibe seemed forced and the staff does little to nothing to help you out or is rude or are completely unwilling to fully help out or interact (the exceptions would be like 3 staff memes that were willing to interact and vibe). Also the VIP tickets are a scam, they promised on the site that it promises the following: “Skip the line and begin the experience through a private entrance - A custom THC tote bag including a branded lighter, rolling papers, and more” but all you get is an empty tote bag with matches…i honestly gave those away to the man selling weed outside…total rip off…. They have the vision and try but don’t seem committed and the tickets feel like a scam. The only decent thing is the lounge but even that seems bland for the seasoned stoner

Also these people need some organization the experience was not that much pleasing like you get lost but cant find your way around. They surely are trying to sell something that’s not 100% real yet but could turn out to be something. So readers don’t buy the VIP thinking it’s gonna be something to tell cuz it’s a scam all together and if the museum reads this you gotta step up your game and big time! Having the people navigate at random kinda ruins the experience, you got something, now get cooking and making this the best thing possible cuz right now it’s a beautiful concept but just a concept mainly targeted to the airhead stoner or fad stoner not the stoners who are serious about their smoking and weed habits and are knowledgeable, you can fool a fool but not an intelectual stoner…take this review as a...
