timexpo museum

I enjoy museums, this is nothing crazy spectacular but it's always interesting. Probably good for kids. Not much to do in Waterbury, but this might be interesting for some.

A great place to take and Kids and Adults as well. Great exhibits that put with into "time". From the time you walk into and go from exhibit, we get a better understanding of the development of time keeping. A favorite is the outboard motor with the watch attached to its propeller. I must do and take your time . And the Gift shop has great items and lots of bargains.

Most of us know the Timex watch name, but have no idea how it evolved or that was Waterbury based. The museum does a nice job explaining their history from the late 1800's to present, including the ups and downs financially. They also have a very nice factory store.

Spent over an hour touring the museum and seeing the history of the Timex watch company from the 1800s through WWII and to the present. Saw many nice watches at reduced prices at the factory store.

Small museum that covers the history of the Timex Co, Thor Heyerdahl & his voyages across the Atlantic & Pacific oceans. We spent a fascinated 90 minutes there and even bought a watch!

Stop your clock and visit this great little museum of Waterbury's past history involving clock making. Great time for all. All jokes aside, a wonderful visit. Clean, cool and nice to stroll at your own pace. Great for families and especially anyone interested in clock history. This was our 5th trip there and still something to learn.

What a little gem in the middle of Waterbury. Went on a tour which can take an hour or more, depending on how much you want to read. They have a fantastic collection of watches from the beginning of time. Interesting facts and things to read as well. The gift shop is awesome! You can buy any kind of Timex watch you can think of from $10 to $500+. Would love to go back again and take my time since we were rushed with younger kids who were more interested in making the paper "watches" near the end of the museum.

For $6 ($5 for senior) we had a great time touring the whole museum. Making your own paper watch was also fun! At the end of the tour, they had an outlet watch store that sold extremely great watches for excellent prices!!!

I'm sure most people have heard of timex watches , so it was interesting to learn the history of the company, a to see some of the exhibits based on the commercials of the 1970's

This place incorporates the history of time keeping along with the mechanics of mechanisms.Younger family members will be able to view and operate various items.It will give the whole family a great understanding of the time business as well.

We enjoyed our visit to this interesting and unusual museum. We especially enjoyed seeing the beautiful antique time pieces and the nostalgic Timex commercials - "It takes a licking and keeps on ticking." We spent a couple of hours touring this interesting museum and were the only visitors. More people need to know about this place. We also got some great buys on Timex watches in the gift shop. I would recommend this place to anyone visiting the area.

Very nice place to visit with kids. One gets to know the rich history of watch making in US. Kids have nice fun activity to be part of and ofcourse you get to buy nice watches at a very good discount rate.

The museum is quiet and it is entertaining . Well spread out with plenty of elbow room . Clocks and watches both old and new . It was great to see the old " Timex , it takes a licking and keeps on ticking " commercials . They brought back fond memories . It doesn't take long to see everything but the staff is not pushy .

This museum is nicely laided out with several interactive displays and has a great history of the Waterbury Clock Company and Timex, awesome museum

We enjoyed our visit. There were a few activities for younger children. We enjoyed the history of clock and watch making in Waterbury. There's a giant statue of an Easter Island megalith outside the museum. It gets connected to the museum on a second floor exhibit on exploration. The connection is a bit loose but was an interesting detour. The watch shop on the first floor of the museum has some good bargains. We're glad we stopped by for a visit.
