Very good experience though you must guide yourself and have some in depth knowledge of the Superman saga in order to really enjoy it. For the casual fan it may seem like a tourist trap but it's a gem for the hardcore fan.

Pretty fun spot in Metropolis! The kids got a kick out of all the statues and signs to look at. The gift shop is smaller, but has a ton packed into it. There’s definitely something for everyone!Museum tour is $8 per person.

While the museum isn't huge, it's quite fun. There's lots of stuff crammed into a small space. I particularly enjoyed the things that were used in the various movies. The store had lots of stuff, most of it seem pretty highly priced to me.
The world famous Superman Museum officially opened in 1993 in the Man of Steel's official hometown of Metropolis, Illinois on Superman Square.
The museum features 70,000+ items from the life's work of longtime Superman enthusiast and collector, Jim Hambrick who has amassed one of the greatest collections of Superman memorabilia in the world.
Among the items showcased in the museum from the iconic superhero's 75+ year history are virtually every Superman toy ever produced as well as movie props and promotional materials from all the Superman movies & TV series (including "Smallville" and "Man of Steel") and one of the only George Reeves Superman costumes still in existence.
