At the Phelps Museum and at the Bundy House one must visit with a tour guide at ones side. The Munson Williams Proctor house doesn't allow visitors into the rooms. At the two historical locations, the guides have great training, truly know what to say. At the Phelps, my guide had to put a polish of her doctoral thesis. The Roberson has allowed me to roam the mansion unattended and even has a seat or two where I can sit down and use my imagination to reach back into the past. The Eastman in Rochester had rooms and furnishings off limits too but allocated two rooms where visitors could sit as guests. I feel honored and moved to have this access.
Rober-con was cool.
The science fiction conversation is amazing every year and they have so many amazing events year round. There is always something to see.
One of my favorite places in town to spend my time!
I absolutely loved the huge model train setup with different towns in the area! Grew up in Binghamton but never visited Roberson until a hometown visit at 75.
Great museum and planetarium! There are new exhibitions throughout the year.
Roberson Museum is a staple of the local community. If you're attending a party, viewing an art exhibit, or visiting the planetarium or museum shop you're sure to have a fantastic time. I have even taken pottery class at the museum also and it was an excellent experience. If you are attending an event such as the Masquerade Ball or the Christmas tree display, be sure to arrive earlyparking is limited!
Beautiful and well preserved mansion from Binghamton's past.
I went to RoberCon Sunday 9- 25- 2016 , it was my first time going to that event also my last time going because there was no one there to show a new person around , or give Guided Tour & all the people work there had schedule time of the event but was not handing out schedules to anyone that visited the event . I that there at 1 pm & wanted to sign up for the costume contest but sign up end at 1 pm , so how would i know that when i just got there ? the video games was a big disappointment too & yo me feel like everyone there was only there to make a fast buck for them self , how can they have members at Roberson Museum when they don't know how to make first time visitors feel welcome ? Chase Masterson was the only real nice person there that i met
I went to Roberson while I was on vacation in upstate NY. Nice mansion, and a nice art gallery. There is even a train set of Binghamton, Great Bend, Susquehanna, Johnson City, Endicott, that whole area set in the 40's. But, some mansion rooms are not accessible, they are probably used for storage.? I'm not sure, but, thumbs up!
Wonderful planetarium. Intricately detailed model train exhibit. So much more a nice way to spend a few hours with the kids
