Super Collection
If you like Superman, this is the stop for you. There is a lot of Superman memorabilia in a small shop. Part of the building is a store and part is the collection. You pay and are then allowed into the museum part where you can visit as long as you like and you can also take photos. I enjoyed the original costumes that were worn in the show or movie, and I enjoyed the collection of lunch boxes, too. But there is much more than that to see. It is a fun stop and it is up to you how long it lasts. The giant Superman statue is just outside across the street. Fun stop!

Nice museum, but small
If you are in the area it is worth the stop. It is not something you would travel long distances to. The museum part had some nice memorabilia from different decades of Superman. The gift shop was so so. It had a small variety of things, but they seemed to be low on stock of a lot of things unfortunately.
