If you want furnace glassblowing, it is best to do something local to get acquainted - local meaning in the same state. Conditions vary wildly in various places. Eventually, if you stay with it, you will probably want to take classes at one of the big five that offer one and two week classes, see the first source. These will cost $2,000+ with room and board for 2 weeks. Or you can take a sequence in 3D Art in a college program.
If you want advanced torch work glassblowing, once you have used up local resources, Corning and Penland seem to bring in some of the best in the country. Visit sites for more info.

Well it depends on where you live! I live in Maine and I took a glass bead making class at a place called Haystack....I'm pretty sure that they do a glass blowing class sometimes. I took the 18 and younger class and it was pretty cheap ($120 for 3 days and I didn't have to buy any materials) The adult classes are like $700 but that's for a 2 week class. People from all over the world go to Haystack! It's a great place! I would love to go back!

If you wanted to take it seriously and go to school for it, I live Salem Community College offers Scientific glass and Glass Art Degrees. Also, Wheaton Arts in Millville, NJ offers classes in the hot shop.
