John went to the Corning Museum of Glass without Pam... and didn’t even bring back anything sparkly. That becomes the running joke in this episode of Tonight’s Destination as he shares what he found inside one of New York’s most unique attractions.

From 3,500-year-old glass treasures to a live glassblowing demo, a handcrafted tiny glass horse, a giant marble chute, a failed 1934 telescope lens, and more than 50,000 glass objects, the museum turns out to be far more than expected.

We also talk admission prices, family value, Finger Lakes travel, and whether this destination is truly worth the trip. Plus, John redeems himself at the end with a beautiful glass star for Pam.
