I've been there 3 times now.
Great museum, a casual walkthrough for us was about an hour.
The store was also great. Nice selection of Zippo, Case knives, and other stuff (t-shirts, stickers etc).
If I remember correctly, their prices were slightly below MSRP but they have a clearance case that has a lot of nice deals. They also stock most of their product line.
If you're going out there, not too far from Case is the Kabar/Cutco museum and store.

I was there many years ago when I drove through Bradford. I enjoy seeing where things are manufactured. That being said, this place is kind of in the middle of nowhere. I suggest combining with camping or a B&B. I've not been there, but maybe you want to combine with a ChannelLock factory tour. http://www.channellock.com/experience.aspx

Great Eastern Cutlery, in Titusville,PA, is also not very far Bradford. They will give you a tour of their Factory any weekday if you get there before 2 pm. Queen Cutlery is also in Titusville,but I'm not sure of their Factory Tour Schedule. You can make quite a "Knifing Tour" out of the trip!
There are also two very nice motels in Titusville,and restaraunts,etc.

I loved it, but it cost me a lot of money 
As others said, prices are a little better than MSRP, and there is a clearance section plus lots of other goodies. I was last there when I was actively acquiring Zippo lighters and found quite a few that were available nowhere else including that great online auction place...which is why it cost me a lot.
I've wanted to get out there for the weekend Swap Meet and National Zippo Day, but hotels are impossible to get, they're booked a year ahead. People from all over the world show up in Bradford for that weekend in July.
