    GO! NOW!
    Amazing! Went solo and loved it! Engaging and interactive with everything you need in a museum! I think it would be amazing to go with a love interest or a bestie you’re really close with but solo was just fine! You can go through it quickly but I recommend taking your time and enjoying each exhibit to its full potential!
    The more the merrier, we say! Thanks for the kind words.

    Math puzzles and games
    Fun experience. Not all exhibits worked, but many were tactile and provided an experience for every willing participant. Some volunteers instead of explaining mainly "played" themselves. Puzzles were interesting and thught provoking for everyone.

    Worth every penny
    This has been one of the only activities I’ve done in NYC where I felt like it was money well spent. Most things are a high price and a rip off, but this was worth every penny! My boyfriend and I had so much fun, and we would love to go again the next time we’re here. We spent 2 hours there, we never wanted to leave!!!

    Great experience!!!!
    Amazing experience. Educational and fun. I advise you in advance you will need your phone for all the games so make sure it's working and fully charged. Also if you buy online you get better deals for drinks .It was my daughter's birthday and we had a blast. The bar was Fanta and we were treated so well my Joseph. He was wonderful and helped when phone wasn't working for a game. He treated my daughter great .

    Best Sex Museum
    Can’t say enough about MOSEX! It’s not only fun but very enlightening and informative in positive and interactive atmosphere. Definitely not a boring stuffy museum. We especially loved the orgy ride! Need one in my home! lol! Loved the exhibits and can’t wait to go back and walk through again. Great for couples or groups or even alone if you’re looking for something to fill an afternoon. Highly recommend for a good time!

    Highly recommend!!!!
    This museum was such a fun and interactive experience. I took my boyfriend who is not familiar with the city. This was such a great thing to show him for the first time and an amazing new experience for me. I’ve seen a lot in the city, but this was unlike things I’ve seen, and the interactive portion Was so fun I would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking for something new to experience with a new boyfriend or even a husband of 50 years.
    Thanks so much for the kind words!

    Bit of random fun to fill in some time
    Bit of random fun to fill in some time. We had the New York Pass, and this was included, so we decided to go along to have a look as we had some time to kill before having dinner. It turned out to be quite fun, a few silly games to do, and some quirky historical information. Sufficient to take up an hour or so of your day.

    Good
    The museum presents its content with a mix of educational insight and playful engagement, making it both informative and entertaining. The staff is knowledgeable and the atmosphere is respectful, encouraging open dialogue and reflection. It’s an intriguing destination for those interested in exploring the complexities of human sexuality in a museum setting.

I really liked this museum, quite informative yet fun! Definitely could go there once again. However, keep in mind that everything in the last part (superfunland) costs something, so keep your credit card with you. We weren’t informed of this and we’d left our coats and bags to the hanger so no games for us to play.

Got there for the last entry and we were told that we had enough time to explore to then be rushed floor after floor in intervals of 5-10 mins. The museum was fun and interesting yet the staff was rude and unwelcoming. I would’ve rather been told that it was better to visit another day.
With comments like “you spent more than 8 mins on this floor so yeah good luck with the rest” “you should’ve entered ealier if you wanted to play that game” mind you by 9:45pm and at the very end stating that I couldn’t use the bathroom on the main floor.

This was a disappointment. Basically, this museum is about history and how society sexualize everything around us. Basically sex sells. There are 4 floors and you just walk around looking at old artifacts or sex things people used in the past. There is a play room where the slide and games are, but it was eh. Lastly, don’t trust the ticket price online because it’ll change when you purchase it online. It went from $36 to $41. So double check and see if it’s worth it.

The museum was very fun; it had elements of a traditional museum as well as interactive portions. The staff was very accommodating of my sensitivity to flashing/strobe lights, and took me through a separate door to avoid that part. It didn’t feel awkward or uncomfortable at all, which I really appreciated! Overall great experience; my boyfriend and I loved it!

Beware, their opening hours varies. Tried to go there this past Saturday and Sunday night. First time learned that they stop letting people in an hour before closing and was told to come back the next day by a certain time at the door. Went back the next day, 2 hours before closing, got in was told to wait by the purple lights to buy the tickets. After 10 minutes in line (one register open with a bunch of staff hanging out chilling), heard a staff yell they were sold out of tickets for the day? 2 hours before closing they sell out of tickets to a walk through museum? When you can go through their museum an hour? Definitely don't recommend wasting your time there when the staff clearly doesn't want to be there and will try to get customers out by a certain time.

We tried to visit, but they require people to use their personal cell phones to access the museum, and we’re not comfortable with that for privacy reasons. This policy would also be problematic for people who are being tracked on their cell phone, people who don't have smart phones, people whose battery is dead, people with very limited data plans, possibly international travelers, and possibly others. We were very disappointed not to be able to visit this attraction on our honeymoon and strongly urge the museum to adopt privacy-friendly options.

This unique experience takes you through a wondrous wind on the history of sexuality. Please go into this blindly and be impressed by this unique experience. You won’t wanna forget this exhibit. This walk through takes about an 1. 1/2 hours sometimes 2, so plan your day accordingly! The staff were very helpful in each section and were very humorous! Lastly one of the greatest things about this experience is its closing times. It is typically opens from 1PM to 10PM. NOTES: This is a 21+ building and they won’t let you in without a valid ID.|| This museum could be considered vulgar or inappropriate to viewers so be warned and let your viewers know. You will experience exibits with real adult films and comedic interactive experiences.|| Overall 10/10 stars. 💫❤️💕

If your tired of the normal museums in NYC, then you must visit this museum. Although it wasn't quite what I thought it would be, it did prove to be very interesting. They had a Funland Carnival themed portion of the museum and that proved to be most fun as you got to interact and play the games. So if you need something to do for date night this is you place to go.

Super fun! Went opening night with friends and has a blast. All the exhibits are worth viewing in full detail! I would go again to see everything in better detail. Regular admission is $29 so I hope they rotate some of the art exhibits.
