Reviews of National Steinbeck Center
"So glad I got to come here! Steinbeck is my all time favorite author and “East of Eden” is my favorite book! They have an amazing exhibit with the movie playing on a loop! I could stay for hours. I hope more people come to visit! His house is 2 blocks away! Learned a lot more about the great man!"
"What a wonderful curation and storytelling! I felt like I was a “walk-on” in all of Steinbeck’s books as I strolled through the quote lanes, background information and the visuals presented. I particularly liked the enormous maps; the first one that welcomes the visitors by putting all the locations of the author’s works on map, the second one being the map of ‘Travels with Charlie, In Search of America”. This center really gives any Steinbeck reader a wholistic Steinbeck experience by filling in any missing information about a story or clarifying question marks that might have been lingering. I genuinely believe that this center does a great service not only to the reader but also to the Salinas region as well. 2 hours of visiting time would not do justice to this center. If only the sound of the video next to the Tortilla Flat corner did not interfere with the reading experience nearby…"
"Loved and cried when the screen read out a part of “Tortilla Flat” that I had not heard for 15 years… it’s meaning shot into my very being and I knew xx that is one thing a great novel gifts xx thank you xx"
"Everything around Steinbeck. About his life, his books, his travels and more. See a short film and enjoy this lovingly compiled historically collection. It is more than a museum, it is a living reserch center. All his books and more is availible in the gift shop. Even the mainstreet is framed like it was. Parking beneth the museum, rather inexpensive, under 2 Dollar the hour."
"Beautiful, detailed museum chronicling John Steinbeck's life. This museum is a short walk away from the Salinas Amtrak station and Greyhound stop. There are restrooms and a theatre. The exhibits include VR headsets, models, and plenty of photos. If you're interested in John Steinbeck's life, this is the place for you. Admission costs $15 for adults, $13 for students, teachers, military, county residents, and seniors, $7 for ages 6 to 17, and it's free for kids 5 and under and members."
