One of the best museums I've been to. You'll need a map, you can easily spend the whole day here. The gem/geode collection was beautiful, the dinosaur exhibit was so cool and had a lot of real fossils/bones. Loved seeing the different animal species. Also the sea creature exhibit was beautifully laid out!!!!

Beautiful building. I don’t know how they keep it so spotless. Long line to enter before doors opened, but it moves quickly and is well worth the wait. Unbelievable, interactive displays and the same dinosaurs roam the halls as they did 60 years ago, which is when I was here last. Perfect place for kids to spend the day. For floors, and a lot of walking. Be sure to schedule a Planetarium visit as well. Gift shops, cafeterias, bathrooms and plenty of employees roaming the halls to help. Beautiful place.

Super awesome museum. We had an amazing day on-site. Really fun and interesting exhibits with an awesome application to help you get around. “Then why are you only giving it 3 stars?” Here’s why: 1) the security line being the same for same day ticket buyers as city pass holders and advanced tickets buyers makes zero sense in my opinion. Why did I take the time to buy in advance AND also spend a pretty penny on all the extra exhibits online (sharks, invisible worlds, world beyond earth) only to not be able to make it on time because the wait to get in through security was 45 minutes? 2) none of the water fountains were functional! 3) as none of the water fountains were functional we had to spend 5$ per person per bottle of water. Not only that but the food was horrendous and overpriced and no food was allowed to be brought in. Where I am from families have accessibility to full days in a museum because they can pack their own food from home and consume it in dedicated areas. Who can afford a 15$ sandwich that looks how mine does in the attached photo? For the price you pay to get in, the cost of food, the sales in gift shops who then ask for donations there honestly is no reason for everything to be as pricey as it is. Not worth it with all of the additions when this could otherwise be a 5 star attraction.

Absolutely fantastic and amazing museum. I visited many museums across the world but AMNH NYC is my favourite. You must book tickets online (received free tickets; corporate membership), need to go early as huge lineup will be there and map is a must. I enjoyed all exhibits but mostly the gems and stones section, giant whale, elephants, dinosaur and countries section. There is restaurant in the lower floor serves freshly cooked meals and food is really delicious. All staff are very helpful. Highly recommended

This museum is absolutely awesome if you are interested in history, space, animals, and rocks. It is incredibly easy to get lost in this expensive building filled with tons of exhibits. Tickets start at $23 for adults. If you are a New York resident and have proof, tickets become a “pay what you wish” option. No matter what you do, make sure you make take a reservations online! This is a must if you want to get into this museum. Lines are incredibly long and you will not be able to come here without a reservation online. I do wish this museum had a better flow as it can be quite confusing to get to different areas. They don’t all inner connect, making this kind of a crazy scramble of people at peak hours. I really enjoyed their exhibits of animals as well as their exhibits of different people throughout history.

The best ever!! You will need a map and also a full day to finish it all , One of the best museums I've been to., The gem/geode collection was beautiful, the dinosaur exhibit was so big and had a lot of real fossils/bones. Loved seeing the different animal species. Also the sea creature exhibit was awesome 🤩

Astonishing with a multitude of elaborate, intriguing displays.

I loved visiting this museum today! It has only gotten better since the last times I visited. My 5 year old had fun in all the exhibits. The Space Show in the Hayden Planetarium was awesome as always. The butterfly garden was so cool, and the Invisible Worlds exhibit had my son running around the room for a half hour!! Also the blue whale giant screen 45 minute movie was great. I can’t wait to visit again!

Great museum! You can easily spend hours exploring. The highlight for us was the dinosaur section. Avoid birds of New York if you've just had lunch! The terrace was closed when we were there and we had to keep our mask on at all times due to COVID restrictions so we couldn't have a drink of water throughout. If you go during the pandemic have a drink just before going in.

Huge museum. You could spend the day there, particularly if you have children. Get a map when you enter: you will need it! Exhibits are beautifully curated and fascinating. Well worth the admission fee, particularly if visiting with a CityPass ticket. We visited at opening time and had to queue outside, but as soon as it opened we were admitted very quickly.

Such an iconic in epic Museum. You could spend so much time here, and the exhibits are incredible. We went toward the end of the day before they closed and they were a lot less people than if we came earlier. They are closed certain days of the week that were surprising to us, so just double check that they’re open before planning time there. Definitely a must see if you are visiting!

Very good.... Very much a labyrinth though. Must have map. The geological and the dinosaurs exhibits were my favourite parts.....

I came here with my 6 year old son and we had a blast. I've been to this museum many times prior, but it was his first time. He enjoyed a lot the exhibits, especially the dinosaur, aquatic and the insect exhibits. There's a lot to see here in the museum, especially considering the cost of entry, which I think is affordable for what they offer. All the exhibits offer a wealth of knowledge and the presentation is lovely. We also did the butterfly exhibit which you have to pay extra for, but it was completely worth it. You're in a humidified environment surrounded by exotic butterflies. Do note that you can't directly touch them but they can/will land on you. I had one land on my nose, and one landed on my son (he wasn't too happy about that). Either way, it's something I highly suggest experiencing. I recommend you visit if you're even slightly interested in the history of the world. And don't shy away from the idea of bringing children as there's plenty of entertainment for all ages.

The Museum of Natural History in New York is a must-visit for anyone seeking an awe-inspiring journey through Earth's history. From colossal dinosaur fossils that transport you to the prehistoric era to the captivating cosmic voyage in the planetarium, every exhibit is a testament to the wonders of our world. The marine life section immerses visitors in the depths of the ocean, showcasing majestic whales and mesmerizing jellyfish. The museum also features a stellar butterfly exhibition, where vibrant winged wonders take center stage. Beyond the exhibits, the museum provides serene spots for contemplation, inviting visitors to relax and absorb the wealth of knowledge. Whether you're a history buff or seeking a family-friendly adventure, the Museum of Natural History promises an unforgettable experience, seamlessly blending education with fascination.

One of the best museums I've ever been. The representation of animals is very cool. The museum is gigantic and has many floors, allow at least 2 and a half hours to explore part of the museum calmly. The ticket was 26 dollars on 02/25/2024. You can buy tour tickets online or at the entrance. I would recommed you do it online to avoid lines.

My favorite museum in NYC. One visit is never enough because there is so much to see: the planetarium, the large whale and marine life, the butterfly conservatory, the exhibits, the dinosaur, the hall of gems, the forest floor area, birds... I've been here over 10 times and it's well worth it. I discover new things each time. Plan to spend at least 2 hours to get a decent glimpse into the museum.

This place is phenomenal! This museum is so big, we spent two and a half hours making a very quick walk through, and only managed to make it through less than half. Amazing fossils of dinosaurs and other extinct animals. Residents of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut can pay what they wish for admission. One of the best natural history museums out there. A must visit!

Chicagoan here 👋: YOU MUST GO TO THIS MUSEUM!!! They offer an immense amount of interactive experience that can be enjoyed by all ages. Every hall I entered was just a whole new world of information that was perfectly laid out and explained. Highly recommend seeing the dinosaurs and gems. I feel like I didn't even see half of the exhibits but I'm definitely going to go back again in the future! 🙌

A dream for any museum lover. Buy tickets and book shows in advance, there's a small lineup outside to enter, but it is quick. Once inside, it is almost a days trip. There's way many things to see, experience. It's like the entire movie "Night at the Mueseum" came alive. You can bring your own reusable water bottles and there are fountains every few corners. We did not try the food inside. But go prepared, go fresh and enjoy. It's a wonderland!

I visited the Natural Museum in New York City and was thoroughly impressed! The exhibits were captivating, providing a fascinating journey through the wonders of natural history. The displays were well-curated, offering a perfect blend of education and entertainment. The museum's attention to detail and interactive features made the experience both informative and engaging. It's a must-visit for anyone interested in the beauty and diversity of our planet's natural world.

Amazing experience! The expositions are soooo good and organized. There's hand sanitizer in every entrance, indicators for the 6ft. distance and arrows to follow the right way. They also take your temperature when you go in. Now they have two extra expositions, T-Rex and Color experience. I went to the T-Rex and it was worthy the extra money (I have to clarify that I love Jurassic Park so to me it was worthy). They have gift shops in every floor and it's not so expensive. Bathrooms were really clean and all the personal was very professional and attentive. Take your kids or family or friends, it's awesome!

The American Museum of Natural History is the largest natural history museum in the world with a mission commensurately monumental in scope. The entire museum spans 4 city blocks and consists of some 25 interconnected buildings. Though today the phrase "natural history" is restricted to the study of animal life, the museum—founded in 1869 on the heels of discoveries by Darwin and other Victorians—uses it in its original sense: that is, the study of all natural objects, animal, vegetable and mineral.

While I have been here many times before, this is my first time since the pandemic. The museum as always is sure to impress. I would recommend starting your day on the higher floors if you arrive early to get some cool pictures with the dinosaur fossils. With regards to the museum during covid: For starters, entry takes a bit of time. We arrived 15 after open and waited in line for about 20 minutes. It wasn't terrible. I recommend buying your tickets in advance. While it won't get you inside the building faster, it will allow you to bypass the long and slow ticket line that splits off once you're inside. There is no eating or drinking in the museum aside from inside the cafeteria. (Cafe on the upper floors is closed? Not sure why) They have covered all water fountains with boxes (this is a questionable to me. Nearly everywhere you go these days allows you to take your mask down momentarily for food or water). Avoid the pizza in the cafeteria, it's easily the worst pizza I've ever had in my life. Gelato was good. Finally, the "controversial" statue of Roosevelt in front of the building is under heavy construction and has large tenting and barriers. You won't be getting a good picture of the outside of the museum any time soon. Still the museum I loved as a kid, but COVID has definitely made staying the whole day a bit more tough with not being able to stop and drink and eat at your leisure. Overheard many people discussed leaving and coming back so that they could eat.

An extraordinary museum! Every space you are surprised more!!! Book at least two days to explore everything calmly!

The American Museum of Natural History in New York is an impressive museum that shows the diversity of life on earth. It has many interesting exhibits, such as the dinosaur skeletons, the animal dioramas, the meteorite collection and the Rose Center for Earth and Space with the Hayden Planetarium. The museum is very large and I would recommend allowing a day to see everything. I found the museum very educational and entertaining. It is a great experience for children and adults. Overall, the entrance fee is quite high. I would not recommend the museum's own restaurant in the basement. The quality and selection didn't convince me. In addition, the prices were much too high.

Amazing exhibits. Specially loved the insect one and invisible worlds. We bought the special exhibits ticket so we were able to watch the serengeti movie and visit the shark & world beyond earth exhibits too. I recommend buying it if you are not going to visit again anytime soon. Also if you are a resident of NY/NJ/CT, you can pay what you wish so that’s a great perk.

This place is beyond awesome! This is definitely a New York City institution!! This has so many things to offer! So fun and so educational. They are very good about checking people to make sure they are not sick. Many checkpoints before going in. The color exhibit was just ok. It was a bit crowded. The T-Rex exhibit was not and it was totally worth it. The museum shop has so many neat stuff to buy. Staff was helpful where things are. The planetarium and space sections where the rocks are, are still closed. I definitely recommend this place for tourists and locals!! Enjoy!!

The one of the best Museum in New York City. I love it. So big and a lots of story behind, dinosaurs, wild life, ocean life, history and a lot more. And of course after the movie " Night in the Museum" more interested to people. Good to see almost everything what it was in the movie too. When I went there, it was a waiting line but not too long. I spent the whole day there and then went for a walk in the central park.

Amazing stop the NYC ; Fantastic building and you could easily spend all day looking at all the fantastic.There is a lot to see in the museum from dinosaurs to native animals to earth history to cultural exhibits. Make sure to plan to stay a few hours! There are timed entries into the museum so make sure you have your reservation set before you go also the special admission…

This is the best museum experience I have ever had. I spent an entire day there (11am-5pm), saw everything there was to see (and there was a lot to see - I walked more than 8km only inside the museum). There is something for everyone in there. The most impressive exhibits for me were, of course, the dinosaurs skeletons, and also the gemstones hall. Both were absolutely mesmerizing! Apt for all ages (families will enjoy it even more!)

Renewed membership, which was pretty painless. Unfortunately the shark special exhibit was sold out, so if that's what your going to see definitely reserve tickets in advance for it. The newly completed gems & minerals exhibit was spectacular. One of the best exhibits the museum has ever put on. There are a few fun interactive bits of it as well, great for kids, and kids at heart

Had a great time at the Museum of Natural History. I got my tickets online and the wait on line together in wasn't too long. The exhibits were all excellent. I especially loved the Rock & Mineral collection as well as the special Shark exhibit. I definitely recommend going during the week as I think it's not as crowded.

One of the best museums I have ever been to. It takes a whole day to see everything, or maybe two. The dinosaur section is phenomenal. The only thing that bothered me was the really low temperature in some of the halls.

This is a very nice science museum with different shows inside. This is a great option for local New Yorkers because you can enter by paying a donation of choice (as low as $1). Toddlers and adults can enjoy the exhibits so it's very diverse a and accessible. It has elevators and ramps making it stroller and wheelchair accessible. The food is very expensive so eat before or after. I posted Cafe food prices in my pics. I highly recommend.

The place is incredible, very big, well organized, clean and well planned. It takes a lot of time to explore. We didn't get to see everything, but we did get to see the dinosaurs and the presentation in the planetarium. Which was a wonderful surprise, because the video was extremely interesting. The museum is certainly worth several visits.

I don’t know how anyone could give this museum less than 5 stars. I spent 5 hours here walking around learning. I did not buy a ticket in advance and didn’t have any problems getting in. I did go right when the museum opened however. You can definitely tell what exhibits are new and which one have been there for a while. Put a good part of the day aside when you come here because you will get lost in history. There is an app that will help you navigate while you are there.

This was my third time visiting and always worth it. We went on a Sunday and 100% recommend buying tickets in advance, and reserving your time slots for some of the exhibitions, we went straight in while there was a lot of people in line. The new wing is beautiful and has a lot of fun new activities. As always, we got lost quite a few times and the staff was very helpful.

Very clean. Polite staff. Amazing exhibits. You would need more than a day here. You can learn lots! Luckily it wasn't a hot day, but I could not find a single working water fountain. plenty of broken ones around.

A fun and educational experience. Lots of dinosaurs, animals, big bugs and meteorites! This place is a must go when in NYC. You will not be disappointed! Its right off 79th. This place is huge! The store is open but the cafes are still closed.

Love it.. Asking for vaccinated card is perfect and ID. Very organized, clean and all stairs had up and down arrows on the floors so everyone can have 6ft apart. I recommend to everyone to visit. Traveling for NJ was amazing NY. American Museum of National History is giving Free vaccine... Great job to everyone keep up the good work.

We were walking by admiring the building from the planetarium entrance and there was a security guard answering someone’s question. He then also said, that the museum was free for the next hour! So we went in. The staff was super friendly. When we asked what to see in an hour she said, dinosaurs with no hesitation. So that’s what we did. It was great. They were huge and scary looking. Lots of great written plaques and written tidbits on the displays. As we were leaving we were tempted by the many other areas but the museum was closing. We would highly recommend this place even if only for the dinosaurs.

It breaks my heart to not give this place 5 stars, but in my mind a 5 star museum would have better maps and be easier to navigate, it would have more bathrooms that are easier to find, it wouldn't dedicate so many elevators for "staff only", and at their ridiculous prices the food would be better than jail grub. The exhibits were great, some a bit dated in appearance but still really interesting. I'd love to go back post pandemic and give it another shot.

Awesome! I could easily spend the whole day here. I love the big cats and the fossils.

This place is an absolutely classic. It is probably the best museum of its kind in the world. My favorite are the dioramas with the animals from all over the world. I wanted to write a review to say they have been taking COVID seriously. Everyone wears a mask and you have to show your vaccine card at the door to get in. They believe in science here!

Absolutely great experience! We did the Haydn Planetarium space exhibit and the butterfly exhibit on top of the general tickets. Staff were very friendly and helpful for any questions we had. The staff in the butterfly and space exhibits were very engaging and informative. The gem exhibit was brilliant and had a huge assortment of different varieties of everything!

It was great, not enough time to see everything but amazing anyway

One of the best museums in New York with 4 floors of plenty to explore. Well worth it. Allow around 5-6 hours if you want to go through it properly. Food court is expensive so be warned.

This museum is huge, definitely the biggest one I’ve ever been too. They have everything here from the early humans to life now. There is something for literally everyone here and expect to spend a good amount of time here because of how much there is to see. If you live in New York, New Jersey, or Connecticut you can pay any amount you want but if you don’t live in any of those places the price for admission is $28 for adults, $16 for children, and $22 for students and people over age 60. I highly recommend anyone to go here.

Went with my girls to the American Museum of Natural History and we loved it. There is so much to see and learn. This place never gets old. My youngest was giddy with how excited she was to be there and she’s a teenager. If you plan to watch any of the payed exhibitions, I highly recommend you buy it ahead of time as these get booked months in advanced. There are many bathroom options throughout the museum. It’s a lot of walking so come comfortable. Price per person varies: you have the option of becoming a member (family $179/139 adult), residents (between $14-$25 dollars depending on child, adult, or senior) or Pay What You Wish ($1-$25 dollars with a suggested price option), non-resident ( $16-$28 dollars depending on child, adult, or senior). Can’t wait to visit again.

Great museum! I suggest to buy tickets online. A full visit may require 5 to 6 hours. The best areas are dinosaurs and minerals in my opinion. Book the show at the planetarium, if available: the little extra price is worth! 4 stars and not 5 because personnel is sometimes rude and not welcoming at all, especially at security checks, cafeteria and food court.

Certainly, one of the greatest museums in the entire world. I haven't been here in 40 years and I am amazed at how much this museum has changed while keeping some of the same mammal picture-window exhibits that I remember from the 1960s. So why only three stars? We arrived here on a Monday morning shortly before opening and had tickets for 10 a.m. entry. By the time we arrived at 9:45 a.m., there was an immense line of people lining the street and wrapping themselves around the corner. Once the museum opened, that line moved very slowly. Fortunately, once inside, if you had a scannable ticket on your phone you could get in immediately. I am amazed that there isn't better management of the lines getting inside. Even though there are signs posted all over the grounds outside mandating attendance is by appointment only, it seems like they still allow walk-ins to visit and that is apparently why the lines are tremendous at opening. If we did not buy our tickets in advance, we would have been stuck in another incredibly long line inside the building just to purchase tickets for that day. So, in all, a very stressful process of just getting inside the museum. I think the trick is to come a little later in the day. There is just so much to see here. We paid for the "everything" pass so we got to go into the butterfly exhibit which was really cool. We also saw the Hayden Planetarium show, but sadly, it wasn't as impressive seeing it as an adult as it was a child. That huge projection machine that used to sit in the middle of the floor is now gone and replaced by hidden projectors. The show seems more like a movie than the celestial event of my childhood years. I also miss the old planetarium that was torn down on the museum property in favor of integrating it more into the museum. Be aware this museum gets very crowded. It's also a haven for children, and as such, there were always the constant sounds of screaming that echoed through every exhibit and after a while became very cumbersome to the ears. As usual, parents not supervising their children as they ran across the hallways, leaned all over the protective railing, and put their fingers all over the exhibits. If this kind of behavior drives you crazy I would avoid the museum altogether or visit in the fall/winter when school is in session.

Membership! Membership! Membership! If you are not living far far away, membership is definitely your choice. Because you will not just visit here once! This place is amazing! My kid cried when we are about to leave and I have to promise that we will come back again tomorrow, which we did! :) The parking is $46 a day, fair for NYC location. You need to park in the parking lot first then walk to the museum. The signs are super easy to get you to the correct entrance. There are several food courts located in difference buildings and levels. Price is fair, a slice of pizza + fries + chicken nuggets costs $20. The new Glider Center is shockingly great! The insects section shows the scale of several major species. With magnifier, everything is so clear! Even with the live animals. The Invisible World is a must see. Everybody loves it! My kids watched it again and again and had so much fun each time. Our favorite part is the Planetarium. We even found the video of how the Magnetic Field was formed!! That answered lots of my son’s question and he really really enjoyed it! We will definitely come back!

I've always been interested in universe,and I love to learn more about it .. As I've gotten older, I've decided to focus more on Learning through Joy. Therefore, this museum is really a great start for you to learn .. I would suggest to buy the ticket via the App to have an easy access. I also suggest to have a good break fast and ur favorite coffee before you enter the museum because there is no good place inside the museum for fine food and coffee.

Absolutely amazing! You HAVE TO GO! This location had the most amazing information, artifacts, exhibits… just everything really. I was there for almost 3 hours with my family and still felt rushed. So much information to absorb and process. So cool for kids especially all of the animal, reptile, amphibian, dinosaurs!!!!! Definitely book your tickets in advance, show up early to get in line and know there are multiple entrances- some way more busy than others. Lots of food/snack options so you can stay all day and enjoy learning. Please go!

What an incredible museum. Full of well maintained and displayed exhibits, set out in a beautiful building. Staff are friendly and helpful and I’d recommend you pre book your free slot at the planetarium as you need a ticket to get in to the show. Word of warning, the food in the lower level cafe is terrible and very expensive, so bring your own food and drink.

(Translated by Google) And the scale is really different, and there are lots of things to see and lots of fun. Young children and adults who are interested in natural history can also enjoy it. (Original) 와 스케일이 정말 남다르고 볼것도 많고 재밌다. 어린 아이들도, 자연사에 관심많은 어른들도 누구나 즐겁게 볼 수 있다.

Make a reservation!! Otherwise, you’ll end up waiting outside in the cold! Great place to walk around. Time flew by. We were there for 3 hours. Felt like one hour. Time flies when you’re having fun

(Translated by Google) Fantastic museum that needs many hours to be admired in all its fullness. But even if you only have a few hours, be sure to visit and admire its many wings. (Original) Fantástico museu que necessita muitas horas para poder ser admirado em toda sua plenitude. Mas mesmo que só tenha algumas horas, não deixe de visitar e admirar as suas diversas alas.

Great place. Just ensure you make a reservation. There’s no food inside and there’s nothing to eat inside. Parking there for 4 hours will cost you about $45. Download the app for the place so you can get around efficiently. Go see the color exhibit and the TRex exhibit. Worth it! Have your kids watch the “night at the museum” ahead of time so they can find the characters. But be aware lots of exhibits are closed currently so depending on what you want to see might deter you. The food trucks outside are good also but kinda pricey.

Great place. Reservation has to be done online to save time. No food allowed inside. Bags are checked. Highly recommend you sit in the lower level floor to have a snack with the little ones. Overall we had a great time and there was plenty to see.

This place overall is pretty cool! I really enjoyed my time here. I went on a trip to this place with my class. I’ve went here 2 times. Going here was a full on experience for me. The models of the animals were very fascinating and realistic. This place is very modern.

(Translated by Google) Visiting the American Museum of Natural History was a dream come true! (Original) Visitar o Museu Americano de História Natural foi um sonho realizado!

Extraordinary place to learn about Earth, human history and bio-diversity. time spent in this museum gives insight into history of earth, evolution of man, changes in the environment, prehistoric man. it may be world's number one in collection regarding human origins, biodiversity. it enlightens visitors on evolution of man. watching of the short films on cosmic world and volcanos is must. Butterfly conservatory makes you feel the absolute importance harmony with nature.

A very interesting museum, it is a fun and a knowledgable experiment for kids , teens and adults , i would recommend it. Dinosaur part of the museum was my fav.

(Translated by Google) The American Museum of Natural History is one of the most important tourist places in America. It is located on the upper west side of Manhattan in New York City, and is one of the largest museums in the world. This museum contains more than 45 exhibition halls with a huge planetarium and a library full of various books. The exhibition halls collect more than 33 million samples of rocks, meteorites and human and animal remains that summarize the most important events that have passed in the natural history of the Earth.

Amazing play. It’s like whole your history book got alive

(Translated by Google) Very cool museum, but I'm a bit disappointed. I stayed until dark to see if I saw a tiny Owen Wilson say "Woah" to me and I was talking to a wax sculpture that ignored me. (Original) El museo muy guay, pero estoy un poco decepcionado. Me quedé hasta el anochecer para ver si veía a un diminuto Owen Wilson decirme "Woah" y me quedé hablando con una escultura de cera que me ignoraba.

Parked at their garage, after spending 1 hour waiting, I was told that due to covid I need a reservation. Ok I understand that, but you couldn't say that to people before they park? Went back to get my car, and it was blocked. The person who works there said that the car owner left and didn't leave him the keys. When I was able to get out I had to pay full rate for parking. Thanks for ruining my kids day because of your poor management.

Love it! Always want to visit. Not to crowded, and if you live in New York you can pay what you can. They follow all the protocols for covid.

The best museum I have seen, beautiful and very large. One day you do not have to go through it completely if you want to appreciate it well. But the only thing I did not like was the service, it was a terrible one, the employees with angry faces all the time and they got upset if you asked them anything.

Always something new to see along with old exhibits. This time they have special crystal exhibits which the best thing you will see in while, they have so many type of crystals,gemstone,diamonds,quartzs and what not. You can spend half day in this gemstones exhibits and wont feel bored. They have one of the tallest geode like 4meters tall. Its huge museum so make sure you have full day to visit everything and download their app which gives amazing information and direction so you dont have ask or search

One of my favorite museums in NYC!! There is just sooooo so much to see and it's always adding new things and exhibit and it's all so fascinating! This place is wonderful to bring your kids. To learn to feel to understand history all the way back to the Big Bang!

Amazing Museum of natural history. Need a whole day to look at all the artifacts. Timed tickets needed. NYC residents get discounts, all you need is utility bills, IDs. Recommend going on weekdays.

It’s been a few years since I’ve visited the museum of natural history in NYC, and it has also been approximately 40 years since my first visit. It occurred to me how remarkable it was that the content, presentation, and experience felt remarkably fresh and relevant. Using the museum’s Explorer app to aid in navigation between exhibits and to expand on their content was a revelation. No debt museum is now pay as you wish for residence of New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. Furthermore, if you have an IDNYC card, you’re entitled to a free one year membership for one adult and up to four children. Advance online registration for an entry time a lot is now required. I visited on a very busy winter break Monday with my nine-year-old daughter, and everyone was masked and respectful of Covid protocols. We had a blast making memories together; very highly recommended!

If you are a NY, NJ or CT resident you pay what you want for your ticket (general admission) the museum is beautiful and you need a whole day to see every exhibition

Museum with a lot to see. Easily can spend 3+ hours in it. Food courst was surprisingly good with a large selection albeit a tad pricy. Lots to do but crowds can form. Would recommend you buy tickets ahead of time to avoid about an hour wait to get them that day.

Be aware that it is HUGE! If you have one day to visit, my recommendation would be to line up early, to maximize the time there and before it gets super hot if you visit in the summer. Get some area that you are interested and spend your focus there. You shouldn’t really force yourself to walk through all of the halls like I did, you might get tired and don’t have enough time to enjoy the things it offers fully.

A must see in NYC. Important - make a reservation in advance, visit early in the morning and use side entrance. Otherwise you may wait for a long time. The floor with dinosaurs and extinct animals is really amazing, lots of things to see. For the part with living animals, I believe it might be better to visit ZOO. The biodiversity part is kinda strange, recommend to skip it. From the exhibitions regarding human cultures, the one about Asian culture was imo the best.

We were pushed for time and only had 90 minutes to spare so this wonderful , but huge museum could be very daunting. We had admissions from our 5 things city pass ( very good value) and just needed to sort out a quick slot for entry . A lovely lady near reception suggested we join the next free guided tour at 11:15 to see as many highlights as possible in 75 minutes. Note the museum is huge . Even several days will not do this justice so be realistic in what are your key things to see . The tour was great and Pat our guide was charming and very knowledgeable. She was a volunteer and this was her first tour since covid suspended tours so we were very lucky. It showed us the highlights of the lower ground floor . If we had more time we would have gone up to see the dinosaurs and watch a few of the films . If you have seen the Night at the museum films then just walking through the diorama halls is a great fun thing to do. A great visit and we are very thankful to Pat to showing us the highlights and her favourite things.

Wonderful place to visit with family or friends. I specially love the space and mineral exhibits. You can touch the meteorite . Such a thrill. Kids love the dinosaurs exhibits. They have one cafeteria and 2 food courts. Bathrooms are clean and well maintained.Parking is affordable. For 4 hours I paid $36.

During my recent visit to the American Museum of Natural History in New York City, I had a thoroughly enjoyable experience despite the crowd. This world-renowned institution boasts an extensive collection of exhibits that cover various aspects of natural history, from dinosaurs to outer space, making it a must-visit destination for anyone interested in exploring our world's fascinating past and present. Navigating through the bustling halls, I found the exhibits to be well-curated and engaging, offering a wealth of information and captivating displays. Although the museum was quite crowded at the time of my visit, I still managed to appreciate and immerse myself in the vast array of exhibits. One thing to note for future visitors is the lack of water fountains on the premises due to lead pipes. It's essential to bring your own water bottle or plan to purchase refreshments from the on-site cafes to stay hydrated during your visit. In summary, the American Museum of Natural History is a fantastic destination for a fun and educational outing. Despite the crowded conditions and the absence of water fountains, the museum still offers an engaging and enjoyable experience for visitors of all ages. Be sure to add this iconic New York City institution to your must-see list!

Man merkt dem Museum und der Ausstellung das Alter an. Es fehlt in meinen Augen ein roter Faden durch die Themen und eine gute didaktische Präsentation. Besser wird es in vierten Stock gemacht. Viel zu teuer dazu.

The American Museum of Natural History in New York City is a treasure trove of knowledge and wonder that offers something for everyone. Whether you are interested in animals, space, planets, plants, human history, civilization, dinosaurs, the Big Bang, or physics, you are sure to find something fascinating and educational at this incredible museum. From the towering dinosaur skeletons in the Hall of Saurischian Dinosaurs to the stunning dioramas of African wildlife in the Hall of Biodiversity, the exhibits at the American Museum of Natural History are truly awe-inspiring. The planetarium shows, including Dark Universe and The Search for Life: Are We Alone?, transport visitors to the far reaches of the universe, while the Rose Center for Earth and Space offers a glimpse into the mysteries of the cosmos. The museum's extensive collection of artifacts and specimens spans millions of years of human history and natural wonders, providing a unique perspective on the world and our place in it. Overall, the American Museum of Natural History is a must-visit destination for anyone looking to expand their knowledge and appreciation of the wonders of the natural world. I hope that my photos were able to capture the beauty and diversity of the American Museum of Natural History, and that you had an enjoyable and memorable visit to this incredible institution.

This iconic institution is a treasure trove of knowledge, captivating exhibits, and a gateway to the wonders of our world and beyond. The exhibits at the American Museum of Natural History are thoughtfully curated, covering a wide range of disciplines including paleontology, anthropology, astronomy, biology, and more. Each section is meticulously designed to engage and educate visitors of all ages, making it a perfect destination for families, students, and enthusiasts alike. One of the highlights of my visit was exploring the Hall of Dinosaurs, where life-size dinosaur skeletons transported me back millions of years. The level of detail and the immersive experience created within this exhibit were truly remarkable. It was a humbling experience to stand in the presence of these ancient giants and gain a deeper understanding of their existence. Another captivating section was the Hall of Biodiversity, which showcased the incredible diversity of life on our planet. From intricate dioramas representing various ecosystems to interactive displays explaining the delicate balance of nature, this exhibit underscored the importance of conservation and our responsibility to protect the Earth's biodiversity. To make the most of your visit, I recommend planning your time wisely, as the museum can be quite extensive. Be sure to check the museum's website for any temporary exhibits or special events happening during your visit, as they often provide additional opportunities for exploration and learning.

Absolutely the best!!! it’s not a trip to New York. If you don’t go to the museum of natural history. So much to see so many great exhibits when you’re inside you know you’re in the right place when you are greeted by a giant Tyrannosaurus rex. Wonderful museum for anyone of any age. If you get a chance, you should go see the new Gilder center. It just opened and it’s spectacular. It’s laid out nicely and it’s easy to navigate and the butterfly exhibit should not be missed.

Museum of Natural History is a fascinating place to spend time. You can drift back in time, travel through different cultures and regions on earth, or wonder off the earth into the space beyond. The visible and invisible world. A place to explore, experience and learn. Young or old, there is something for everyone who has a curious mind.

A museum continually adapting. The Natural History beautifully renovated the planetarium 20 years ago. It was cool to go as a kid but getting run down and the Rose Center was a flying-car level upgrade. The Gilder Center is this generation’s renovation. It’s an architecturally engaging space; invites watching and reading about exhibits. A real level up for drawing visitors into exhibits. The museum seems conscious of its history and maintains itself as an exhibition of how nature has been exhibited. Its famous dioramas are maintained very well. That they don’t feel out of place in a modern science museum is an achievement. The Natural History and (across the park) the Met are great to take kids and people in town. They’re great to wander through and have a moment; remember visits as a kid; finding something new. TIP: look up tickets online and visit on a weekday.

Visited today in the morning with high expectations and wasn't disappointed! Asian and African mammals were surprisingly captivating. Excellent presentation and informative exhibits. Helpful staff. Crowded but didn't impact the experience. A must-visit for nature enthusiasts! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Great experience. It's enormous. Totally worth it but start your visit earlier in the morning to have time to visit all the exhibitions. If you love to learn about other civilizations it's great. For kids I think there is only 1-2 rooms that can draw their attention.

A banger museum for the whole family. Awesome dinosaurs, land and sea animal exhibits. Several levels of family entertainment, knowledge, and gift shops!

The place is huge .. the collection is mind blowing. In fact it feels like 10 different museum in one. After 4 hours we could hardly finish 2nd and 3rd floor. Anyone can spend a day there. Would love to return to the museum again. Next time will plan a day for this alone.

The best museum I've been to so far. From the moment you walk into the building to the time you leave, I was in awe and amazement. Beautiful layout, amazing displays, larger then life models. Must see for any museum lover. OH and you never know you will be there. Me and my daughters shared and elevator with Pink and her daughters. Great experience all around.

A must-see venue when you visit New York. Center west side of New York Central Park. Good for the young kids, a lot of Dino fossils, stuffed animals, and a lot of cool collections. Ticket prices are reasonable, around $28 per adult, and children between 3-12 are $16. Opens between 10 AM - 5:30 PM. If you are using subway can enter from the 81st Street B/C station. Parking is available at the Museum through 81st Street between Central Park West and Columbus Avenue with a hefty price of $26/hour. The parking garage is open from 6 am–11 pm on weekdays, 8am–11pm on weekends.

One of the best museums in the world; probably the best natural history museum. The new cave like entrance opens up the AMNH and make sit more open looking, brighter and better flowing. I also liked the new gem section. As a NYC resident, you can pay what you want to enter the museum. As such, its worth going even you only have a short time

Great museum to visit if you are in New York, especially if you have kids, plenty of different rooms, like African, Asian, American arts, ocean life, gems and minerals and others. Huge and interesting, that will deserve your attention for hours. We came 30 min before the opening, otherwise the queue is for hours outside.

The Secret World of Elephants is a highly recommended exhibition. You are to get immersed in the world these magnificent animals by uncovering the science behind ancient and modern elephants’ evolution, anatomy, and brilliant minds. As you walk through this approximately 45-second exhibition, you and families, friends, and students will find out interesting information about elephants. For instance, have you ever heard of dwarf elephants? Let me tell you that their fossils have actually been found on islands in several parts of the world such as Sicily, Italy. Similarly, we will all become more aware of how elephants are protected by tourism; in fact, in countries such as Thailand tourism that benefits local people seem to be the most sustainable for both elephant and humans. The exhibition also highlights the relevance of some elephant characters in our lives like Dumbo the flying baby elephant in the 1941 film by Disney. All of us will be guided to keep learning about elephants. The exhibition suggested three strategies to do so: 1. READ about elephants, listen to podcasts, watch documentaries or attend exhibitions like The Secret World of Elephants, 2. STAY INFORMED about how elephants are affected by habitat loss, climate change, and the illegal ivory trade, and 3. LEARN ABOUT the way climate change can affect elephants. These are just some examples of the interesting things you are to get from The Secret World of Elephants.

First time in New York and the museum was definitely on the to do list, great place with so much to see over 4 floors! Seeing some unusual real insects was my favourite and everything that came with it, so much to do and see so you'd need a full day here but we only had several hours. Getting in was a long wait as no one was in a rush to get tickets sorted so sucked some of the fun out of it, shame really. Would visit again though having more time to do so, 4* because of the ticket issuing service.

The American Museum of Natural History is like stepping into a time capsule of awe and wonder. From the lifelike stuffed animals to the towering dinosaur skeletons, every corner tells a story of our planet's rich history. Despite the hustle and bustle of fellow explorers, the museum manages to stay spotless, and the staff are friendly and helpful, adding to the welcoming atmosphere. Whether you're a local or a visitor, this place is a gem in the heart of New York City. It's a journey that sparks curiosity and leaves you with a sense of wonderment. I can't recommend it enough—I'd easily give it a perfect 5 out of 5 stars. Trust me, it's an adventure you'll treasure for a lifetime.

NJ and NY residents get in for free or can choose to donate any amount to get in. I arrived at 1pm on a Sunday and left at 520 when they where closing. Within that time I didn’t have the time to see everything. I definitely recommend to go earlier and plan on spending the whole day there. Don’t forget to bring water and a snack because the cafes are closed.

This is a great museum with so many interesting and educational information, beautiful organization of everything! Love this place, my kids got a lot of fun!! Only security were really unfriendly at 5:20 by sending people out despite the museum closes at 5:30.

Always great! They have great covid precautions in place so you can feel safe when you go !

This is a great museum. I enjoyed all of the regular exhibits and the special exhibits on T. Rex and the Theodore Roosevelt statue.

Had a wonderful time with the family. Laid out nicely and so much to see and experience. Too much to do in one day. Good excuse to return and do it again.

This place will definitely leave you in owe. It gives you the chance to see the whole world inside one building, and also takes you back in time to visit every civilization that you could think of. I spent 4 hours and probably seen 1/4 of the museum. We will definitely come back to finish the journey. There's a parking on site if you can't find a spot on the street

Had a fun time walking around in the museum. Make sure to make reservations because it gets really busy here. Definitely a place to check out if you are on NYC. The food inside is a bit pricey so I suggest you eat before going in!

One of my favorite museum ever I have been here for like 7 time in 2 years, whenever any guest comes to my house I always take there once. If you are thinking that it's a museum and it's going to be boring, trust me I ama teenager and I loved it

You could literally spend days here. If you are planning on going, plan on at least two days to see all the things you want. Otherwise you'll be swiftly passing everything and it's just not the same experience. Don't waste it.

I really liked this museum. There was soo much to see and a very broad variety of history that you will not find in many places of the world. Was mind blown at the depth in exhibits. Sadly this is an all day type of thing and I didn't have time to see everything. Highly recommend getting there early to see everything. So much to see. Would go again.

(Translated by Google) Does a person go to a museum and his mouth falls off? Mine fell. It changed my view of history, nature and culture. It must be because we cannot come across its peers. If you come here for 1 day, it is a place you cannot finish. Although I have not been able to attend most of the departments, my 3-4 hours are gone. I was amazed and very jealous. Why do we not have such museums when there should be so much more in our history? Museums of this kind, above all, open the horizon of people. (Original) İnsan bir müzeye gider de ağzı düşer mi? Benim düştü. Tarihe doğaya kültüre bakışımı değiştirdi. Emsallerine rastlayamadığımız için olsa gerek. Burada geldiğinizde 1 gün bile ayorsanız bitiremeyeceğiniz bir yer. Ben bir çok bölümüne girememe rağmen 3 -4 saatim gitti. Hayran kaldım ve çok kıskandım. Bizim tarihimizde çok daha fazlası olması gerekirken neden böyle müzelerimiz yok. Bu türden müzedeler her şeyden önce insanın ufkunu açıyor.

(Translated by Google) Spectacular place .... (Original) Lugar espectacular....

Amazing and Covid-safe! Go support the museum during Covid!

Very nice museum

Awsome to know different animals and know about the peoples around the world

Passed by today; haven't been inside for about 25 years, but a worthwhile visit nevertheless

Awesome!!

Was here last year! Simply amazing! so many great exhibits

Very interesting, a lot of stuff to see,especially Big Bang part and Dinosaurs part.

On holiday from South Africa and had the privilege to visit the American Museum of Natural History, which consists of 26 interconnected buildings housing 45 permanent exhibition halls. The museum collections contain a staggering over 34 million specimens of plants, animals, fossils, minerals, rocks, meteorites, human remains, of which only a small fraction can be displayed at any given time, and occupies more than 2 million square feet.

cool

(Translated by Google) Impressive museum to enjoy with the family and that by the way does not have time to visit everything in one day (Original) Impresionante museo para disfrutar en familia y que por cierto no da tiempo a recorrer todo en un día

(Translated by Google) It is undoubtedly the best of its kind in the world together with London. It is huge and you do not have time to see it in full, unless you have enough time in the city to spend a full day in it. There is the possibility to pay at will and save the entrance price which is quite high. (Original) Sin duda es junto al de Londres el mejor en su género del mundo. Es enorme y no da tiempo a verlo a entero, a no ser que tengas el suficiente tiempo en la ciudad como para entretenerte un día completo en el. Hay la posibilidad de pagar la voluntad y ahorrarse el precio de la entrada que es bastante alto.

I visited the American Museum of Natural History many years ago. This place looks completely different from the Night At The Museum films, but it's still a cool place to see.

(Translated by Google) Great museum (Original) Ottimo museo

I love this museum!!!!! The staff are really helpful! The food at the food court is affordable. Most of the restrooms are clean!! The planetarium is amazing!!! I love it all!

Very nice and even is covid-19 still more people coming.

Amazing !!!

(Translated by Google) it was not what I expected however it is an experience that must be done if you are in New York (Original) non è stato come mi aspettavo comunque sia è un'esperienza che bisogna fare se si è a New York

A plethora of knowledge; I love this place! :0)

Love it here however it's sad that so many people don't follow instructions.

(Translated by Google) Super! (Original) Супер!

One of the best places in NYC, especially to bring your kids. Just browse around the exhibits and admire the architecture. So inspiring!

Outstanding!!!

(Translated by Google) The dinosaur section is awesome. (Original) La sección de dinosaurios es impresionante.

Probably the greatest museum in the world. You can virtually everything in relation to the history of Mother Earth and the development of its living species. I’ve been there probably 50 times or more, but I find it more and more fascinating every single time. My personal favorites are the Hall of Biodiversity and the Milstein Family Hall of Ocean Life. I’m fascinated by both land life and marine life. Especially with the latter, due to the fact that there’s much to be discovered in the deeps of the ocean. Also, we don’t know that much about it, so marine animals are even a bigger mystery. The Nature of Color is probably the most beautiful thing that I’ve seen indoors. The colors were so vivid and stunningly beautiful. I was stunned by the T-Rex exhibit. I’m not yet used to seeing dinosaurs with feathers, instead of scales. Yet, the baby T-Rex looks cute. I also loved the Dinosaurs Among Us exhibit some years ago. I haven’t visited since the pandemic broke out and I don’t know how does it function today, but I’ve heard that there’s a group scheme that works pretty well. I do hope that everything would be okay soon enough!

I absolutely loved this Museum! It had the right variety of dinosaurs, with a very unique ambiance that feels very old school. Over all amazing experience!

Overall great experience. Some exhibits were crowded like the dinosaur hall. Would be helpful to have someone directing social distancing.

I had great time here, amazing place to go with family and friends

(Translated by Google) The building itself is impressive. Huge. Going through it seems endless. Multiple floors and different areas of interest make for a walk for much of the day. If everything one day. A great opportunity is to wait for a rainy day and take advantage of it without fear of missing anything in the city. It is worth the time. Without a doubt. (Original) El edificio en si mismo es impresionante. Enorme. Al recorrerlo parece interminable. Múltiples pisos y diferentes áreas de interés los hacen un paseo para gran parte del día. Si lo todo un día. Una gran oportunidad es esperar un día de lluvia y aprovecharlo sin miedo a perderse nada de la ciudad. Vale el tiempo. Sin dudas.

(Translated by Google) Amazing exposure. You need to reserve a minimum of 3-4 hours or more for the tour for people who are strongly interested in this area of ​​history. It is worth visiting when there are no crowds. In NY, most museums on selected days offer bard, cheap tickets or only suggest the price of tickets, and you can enter even for $ 1. I recommend highly. (Original) Niesamowite ekspozycję. Na zwiedzanie trzeba zarezerwować minimum 3-4 godziny bądź więcej dla osób, które są mocno zainteresowane tym obszarem historii. Warto zajrzeć w godzinach, gdy nie ma tłumów. W NY większość muzeów w wybrane dni oferuje bard, o tanie bilety lub jedynie sugeruje cenę bilety, a wejść można nawet za 1 dolara. Polecam gorąco.

Easily one of my favorite places in New York City. The museum is filled with subjects to explore, ranging from astronomy to Central Asian traditional clothing. Each exhibition is exciting and filled with interesting information. This museum is a MUST if you’re visiting to New York!

I love this museum. Its huge! We went two days in a row and bought a membership. They have very strong covid protocols and we felt safe visiting. Watch the night at the museum movie before you go for inspiration. I love the mix of old and new exhibits. I could also spend hours in the museum store. My 9 yr old loved the t rex exhibit and the Tibet exhibit. My husband loved the ocean exhibits and I loved the early human history.

Absolutely incredible! We spent two hours here and still there was so much more to see. Great place to take your children. There are tons of things to do and see from replicas of animals and animal habitats to dinosaurs and more.

Enjoyed the human origins, oceans and large mammals exhibits on a Sunday. So much to see, must go back...

One of the best museums I've ever been to! It's more than just natural history, as there are many displays of human art from around the world. There is a great sea life display with a gigantic whale, all preserved taxidermy from long ago. There are displays of animals of all kinds, and models of ancient human empires. Of course everyone knows its famed Dino bone collection, fossils and casts of the most famous dinosaurs, as well as displays on evolution (I never knew the horse was so closely related to the dolphin!) and other very informative things! And my favorite part is its "Epcot-Like" Planetarium the Hayden Planetarium, which currently runs a great show starring Neil Degrasse Tyson with the latest tech to show the mysteries of the universe, energy, and it's darkmatter. The big bang show below is not to be missed, especially with its unique screen, and the staircase down showcasing just how short human's existence has been by giving a scaled timeline of the universe (and some scale models of planets and the human brain. Down on the ground, there are actual space rocks you can touch. Yes I touched something from space! There are also model ecosystems, and scales to weigh you on other worlds.

(Translated by Google) It is a great museum, so it takes more than 3 hours to get to know its great wonders. It is an imposing place and a must see in New York. Tickets can be bought online, the costs depend on the age of the people, but they are very cheap. It is located next to center park. It is easily accessible, has a sudway station next door. The museum has several levels and many rooms. It is advisable to download the museum application or have a map of it, to always be oriented. (Original) Es un gran museo, por lo cual se necesita más de 3 horas para conocer sus grandes maravillas. Es un lugar imponente y una visita obligada en New York. Se pueden comprar las entradas de forma online, los costos dependen de la edad de las personas, pero son muy económicas. Esta ubicado al lado de center park. Es de fácil acceso, cuenta con una estación del sudway al lado. El museo posee varios niveles y muchas salas. Es recomendable descargar la aplicación del museo o tener un mapa de este, para estar siempre orientado.

Very educational

Wonderful visit, wasn't expecting many of the anthropological exhibitions here but wow what a collection!

4 stars bc nothing changed in more than a year, same exhibitions. Good covid protocol, just in this cold weather we have to go outside of the museum to eat something but totally understandable!

(Translated by Google) Beautiful place to go and visit (Original) Hermoso lugar para ir y visitar

(Translated by Google) If you have seen the film ... put it there without being influenced ... because this museum is much more! If your English allows it, don't miss the various projections especially those in the Space section. Beautiful. But the museum is beautiful and offers a lot ... perhaps too much for a single day. Visit to start early and finish late, good legs and comfortable shoes. The restaurant under the counter, if you don't want to load your backpack too much, has something for everyone ... but don't be late because it has hours. (Original) Se avete visto il film...mettetelo li senza farvi condizionare...perchè questo museo è molto di più! Se il vostro inglese ve lo permette non perdetevi le varie proiezioni specialmente quelle nella sezione Space. Bellissime. Ma il museo è bellissimo ed offre tantissimo...forse troppo per una giornata sola. Visita da cominciare presto e finire tardi, gambe buone e scarpe comode. Il ristorante al sottopiano, se non volete caricare troppo lo zaino, ne ha per tutti i gusti...ma non fate tardi perchè ha degli orari.

(Translated by Google) One of the best museums I have done in my whole life! There is really plenty to see, and it's barely a day is enough. I had a great time and I have fond memories of it! (Original) Un des meilleurs musées que j'ai fait de toute ma vie ! Il y a vraiment plein de chose à voir, et c'est à peine si une journée suffit. J'ai passé un très bon moment et j'en garde un souvenir plus qu'appréciable !

Pro tip: If you are going to drive in and have anything bigger than a sedan, just use the museums parking garage. An outside garage with an early-bird rate and "oversized" vehicle fee is the same price. Unless you are planning to stay in the area all day (until 7pm). At the time of the posting. Best early bird rate: $19 (3 blocks away) Oversize vehicle fee: $15 + tax Museum parking for 5 hours: $35(ish)

During pandemic time very nice ,disinfected and organized museum Also you dont have to pay the full amount..just a donation

Go there.

Amazing!!!!!

Great musuem filled with a variety of exhibits

The museum is a wonderful place for children and adults. There are many interactive exhibits and interesting displays unlike anywhere else. With each display the is a detailed description so you always learn about what you're looking at. The staff is friendly and polite.

(Translated by Google) I love this Museum (Original) Me encanta este Museo

From wild animals to sea life and Dinosaurs bones you will walk and take your time to explore each level . You can became a member or pay as your wish

I've loved this place since I was a kid and now that I am a creative and seeking solace in this crazy time and sources of inspiration I've found this to be a perfect place to reflect and remember and inspire.

Place is great, we are members, but parking check out is horrible. Please set up a machine or add more people on the parking check out! Had to extend the rental only because the line was taking too long!

The museum is an incredible place. They have a lot of nice stuff and it teaches you alot of new things. 😊

Well detailed museum. Interesting for the whole family.

A wide range of things to see, so something for everyone! Easily my favorite museum in NYC!

As much as it is amazing to see all the history and all the especial exhibitions you will need all day to see the different levels that the museum have to offer the only thing that I didn't like was maintenance a lot of the exhibition where really dusty and some of the hallways lights where out and bathrooms where not keep clean.

It's a great place to bring the kids

I have known this museum for a long time because that is where they filmed Night At The Museum since it's the same place

(Translated by Google) A spectacular place (Original) Un lugar espectacular

Fantastic!!

Fantastic place for adults and for kids at all age.

Extraordinary!!

My toddler LOOOOVVVVEED the Museum!! I'm soo happy we got to visit!!

The T rex exhibit was nice! Some parts were very dimly lit and that impacted my experience but the overall museum was pleasant. Would visit again!

自然に関する展示物や世界各国の文化に関する展示物が豊富で、すべて興味深い。

Amazing! For anyone visiting NYC this is a must. Sadly I didn't get too see as much as I would have liked but what I could see was amazing and the talks they are are awesome and really informative.

Una colección impresionante, todas la esculturas,todas las especies,la colección de insectos y la de peces es enorme, se suscitan 2 o 3 días para disfrutar de la experiencia completa.

T. rex exhibition worth a browse!

(Translated by Google) Bad service poor tikect sale service (Original) Malo el servicio pobre el servicio de venta de tikect

I've always loved this place as a kid but as an adult I now realize how much you can actually learn here it's incredible.

It is always nice to be able to go such a beautiful museum like American Natural History Museum!!

Not worth the price. Don’t go there. The COVID-19 security measures are excessive. The penguin at the garage entry asks to check your trunk. Then other penguins upstairs check your temperature and make you go through a metal detector. Long lines and waits make you feel like TSA. The heat inside is 80 degrees. Bring your shorts and flip flops. No air ventilation whatsoever. 50% of expositions are closed. No room to eat. The cafeteria is closed. You decide whether it’s worth it.

There’s so much to see here! Beautiful classic museum.

Always educational and fun to visit this museum. I visited 3rd time by now and still coming to visit with my son. The various cultural presentation, Mammals of human culture and Various Animals from around the world, 4th floor of Dinosaur world.....just amazing. Covid 19 restrictions are there but you will still enjoy the visit. Each section of this museum is lot informative for all ages of people.👍👍

(Translated by Google) A museum famous for the movie Night at the Museum. (Original) 映画ナイトミュージアムで有名な博物館。

My son loves coming here inlove how security is all over making sure people social distance and have their mask on during their visits gave a little sense of normality

Great museum; you can see multiple places and times in one site.. My wife and children liked it so much.. It's huge and needs more than one day to see all.. The app. is very helpful; you have to use the layers icon; a layer for each floor and in each floor you can choose what you want to visit and it will lead you.. You can find hand sanitizers everywhere.. Sure we'll go there again.

Great to visit especially during COVID. Safety was paramount and we saw the T-rex exhibit

Wonderful museum, but I had to leave this last time because of how insanely crowded it was. During the pandemic. No social distancing at all possible, plenty of kids without masks. I'm really not sure what the point of timed entry is if there's no enforcement of any safety protocols.

First time back since the closures. Only encountered two families with horribly misbehaving children who they watched try to destroy the place, including a little boy with two toy cars rolling them all over displays, including glass in The Nature of Color. They did nothing to stop him. Most followed rules and followed arrows for safety flow. I said 'MOST.' Got trying at times, with the obvious tourist, who for so reason, insist on getting in the way, not following flow and being pushy. Yeah, not looking forward to their return to the City. A lot was still closed. Interactive displays and Discovery Room were closed, due to safety. Was a nice walk around, and good crowd control. Only a few non-compliant, but we're quickly put into place by staff. I think I'll renew membership next year. Probably won't return till Fall. I used to visit almost daily.

(Translated by Google) My favorite museum in New York is a museum that is amazing in its beauty, its size, its many exhibitions, a variety of cultures, animals, the earth, astronomy, stars, ocean, woods and the list goes on ... To see him in one day .. So what to do - choose what is the most "talking" and look for you and go see ... On the entry level there are a number of boxes and one of them pays as much as possible (long queue ..). You should know that there are special attractions and are not included in the cost of the ticket like the amazing 3D movie, on the planet the star system (in my eyes!) .. The place is accessible, the rabbi Souvenir shops (reasonable prices) .. The museum opens at 10: 00 in the morning and before .... a must and highly recommended ..

אחד המוזיאונים המרשימים שביקרתי בהם. כשנכנסתי למוזיאון היה כמובן את השחזור המפורסם של שלדי הברוזאורוס והילוד שלה, מה שאותי כמובן ממש הלהיב. לא נכנסתי לאף אחת מהתערוכות המתחלפות על אף שנראו מעניינות, כי רציתי לשלם פחות מהמחיר המומלץ — עבור התערוכות הקבועות ניתן לשלם כמה שרוצים. קיבלתי מפה של ארבע קומות המוזיאון, שעזרה לי מאוד לנווט לתערוכות שעניינו אותי ולחסוך זמן, שכן אפשר בהחלט לבלות שם שעות רבות.

Visited the place back in 2014. Its the best museum I have ever been to. Amazing Experience.

super amazing, the planetarium is a killer. i saw the show in the space exibit. it was dark matter with the guy who i forgot his name but loves science. i love how you lye back and experience the world from your seat. and also the dino's in the lobby never cease to amaze me.

I love it

Really wonderful museum! Lots of exhibits to see and it is a truly educational experience for all ages. Plan to be here for at least 4-5 hours.

It was very nice indoor place Security,atm, tickets counter and much more

(Translated by Google) Beautiful place, beautiful the part of the dinosaurs, to turn it all right you need at least a day. All very interesting. So many places make you relive the movie one night at the museum ☺️. I highly recommend. (Original) Luogo bellissimo, bellissima la parte dei dinosauri, per girarlo bene tutto ti serve almeno una giornata. Tutto molto interessante. Tanti luoghi ti fanno rivivere il film una notte al museo ☺️. Consiglio vivamente.

If you want to know American history then you should come to this museum. Their is to many historical things.

(Translated by Google) ONLINE TICKETS! $ 23 usd per adult! It is very worth it, it is incredible and the T-Rex experience has an additional cost. (Original) TICKETS ONLINE! $23 usd por adulto! Vale mucho la pena, está increíble y la experiencia de T-Rex tiene costo adicional.

We wanted to "Pay what you wish" but the T-rex exhibition was extra and ending up costing $80 for 2 adults and 1 child and honestly wasnt worth the $80. Next time Ill just purchase general admission and pay what I wish and just go to the 4th floor for dinosaurs.

Great experience for my five year old son.

Amazing see the T. rex head skull was worth it just for that

I love the MUSEUM i cant wait for March 14th to take my DAUGHTER and my Nephew back to see the new T-REX exhibit. I love the food in the cafeteria its all very good. But its a little costly. and i also love there gift shop.

Nice museum

Beautiful museum that you could easily get lost in (both literally and figuratively).

(Translated by Google) Very nice, but be aware that it is probably impossible to see the entire museum in one day. (Original) Sehr Schön, man sollte sich aber bewusst sein, dass es wahrscheinlich unmöglich ist, das gesamte Museum an einem Tag zu besichtigen.

Had a Great time here for my birthday. I haven't visited since I was a kid and thoroughly enjoyed my visit. Would have stayed longer but wearing a mask for 4 hours inside is tough.

Awesome museum in NYC. A must for every local or visitor. The new gems and minerals exhibit underwent a major overhaul renovation. The area is very inviting and the exhibits are informative. There are several special exhibits throughout the year. Plan to spend more than a day here.

Amazing experience, I love this museum and have been coming since I’m a kid. My kids have grown up coming here too and they also love it. Staff is very friendly and helpful, the premises are under pristine conditions . I love coming here.

This has to be the best Natural History Museums I have ever been to! I would definitely recommend going here if you're in the NYC area. It is huge too, so make sure you alot at least 8 hours to get a good amount in. Even so it will take you a few days to thoroughly view all they have to offer here.

Prepare tour legs to walk a lot lol. Its such a nice visit to do with friend and family. Beautiful museum 🤍

I must say this is one of the best Natural History museums in the world, it is crazy, absolutely full to the brim with the most rare fossils and huge exhibits. But, (there’s always a but) the age is showing, the museum in its core never changes, but that is not what gives this review 4 stars, it is the way they decide not to innovate around the exhibit. The dust sets over the pieces and it’s pretty noticeable, but still, one of the greatest of its kind.

The museum is rich in information and details of different types of studies, tells the history of the species from the beginning, showing perfect replicas of animals that lived in the past and animals of the present. The video of the brontosaurus room is wonderful, it explained very well all the history from the past to the present and continued showing the sequence of rooms to be followed. We also love studying the universe, planets and other galaxies that have been discovered by studying lights in space. We love museums!

The American Museum of Natural History is a staple in the life of any triboro area individual especially if you grew up here. It’s a must see at least once in your life so we went here for my beau’s bday since he has never been. It’s a shame some exhibits and features are closed due to covid but regardless we were thrilled to be able to see the classics! The planetarium is one of my favorite places so definitely go purchase tickets to see one of the films there. The temperature changes inside are drastic it can be freezing in one area and sweltering in another so I recommend you layer so you can adapt to the different areas. There is a lot to see and do, so make use of their free app in the App Store or you will get lost. Start at the very top floor and work your way down, otherwise you might get overwhelmed and quit half way through lol. They did an amazing job updating the mineral rooms, I kind of miss the dated old seventies version that reminded me of when I was a kid but this newly renovated area was gorgeous.

I personally enjoy museums and was excited for this museum. But it was bit underwhelming. Certain sections were great whereas others were just kind of fillers. Also the lighting was poor. Some of the exhibits were barely visible. Also expect long line up during entry. We had to wait about 1.5 hours on weekday to enter.

Lots of exhibits. The Dinosaur and Gems exibits were my favorite. Seen the special Space show, definitely worth the extra $5. It's in a theater room with a dome screen. I was in the museum for 4.5 hours and needed to rush towards the end. Go early to see everything.

No words to describe how wonderful is this museum, it's have the opportunity to see how our universe and our planet were born, how they evolved and the human race too. We can see different culturas from around the World and the wild animals from everywhere. And the dinosaurs... It's really awesome, yo definitely have to go!

It's crazy how much stuff is in this place. Took my 11 yr old daughter and she really loved it. We made a game out of finding some key pieces from "night at the museum" and then stopped at other stuff that interested us along the way. Hint: Rexy is in the last room on the 4th floor. We almost left without finding it and she really wanted to see him. Spent about 2.5 hrs. The app was a little helpful in finding items, bathrooms and elevators once you figured it out. Entered directly from Subway stop. Supposed to have time slot reserved before entering when you buy tickets. I bought them on my phone while standing in line. Took about 30 min in line to get in.

Some fabulous exhibits. Much more than you can see on one visit. Very educational but not a lot fun for kids. Best museum cafeteria I've seen. Worth the visit for sure.

The place is spectacular, there are many varieties of pieces for each concept. At least, to be able to appreciate it you need many hours since it is immense. It has 4 floors. I recommend that you start at the 4th floor and work your way down.

The Gem and mineral exhibit was great. The mannequins and models all over are old fashioned in a good way. Because of forced timed entry, you need to book tickets way in advance to be able to enter in the morning, so you can see most of the exhibits. If you are forced to start late, go to the main attractions first, then see what you can, after. Main attractions are usually at the very end of winding labyrinths of different exhibitions. To get to the 24 minute film of space on the 3rd floor of the planetarium,you need to take the regular stairs or elevator, not the elevator close to the planetarium. The website does not provide a price for adding on the special exibitions, such as the 24 minute film in the upper planetarium theater, until you check out. If you show up with general admission tickets, you need to ask them to add it on after entry, in the main entrance. They need more accessible technology for people with limited English, such as audio guides. I asked all around and they only provide translation for special events.

The best Museum I have ever seen in my life. I would love to visit it again and spend a whole day through their floors. I must if you are a in NY. I would also recommend the special exhibition "Worlds Beyond Earth". You will love it. The restaurant at the ground floor was really good, a great option if you are looking for a quick meal.

Amazing museum!! It is huge and if I'd go again, I would take a full day to visit.. There is so much to discover! You shouldn’t force yourself to walk through all of the halls as you probably won't have enough time to see everything. I'd recommend to set a focus on what you're interested in the most and then see the rest after. Also, the planetarium is amazing - I watched the beyond earth show there and I was very fascinated by how well it's done and how great the animation was.

Our hotel gave us free museum admission tickets, so we went. We went on a Wednesday around 3pm and it was extremely busy! We had to wait at least 45 mins to even access the museum. Once we got in, they had a lot of cool exhibits and there was definitely a lot to see! Be sure to plan a couple of hours here, if you want to see everything. One of the best museums that we've ever been to!

It’s massive! With over 40 exhibitions, you could easily get lost in this huge museum. It’s so informative with displays of almost every aspect of nature and universe: ocean, forest, space, mammals from every continent, human origin, gems and minerals, etc. You need a whole day to explore all of them. The curations are very clear, explaining science in a simple understandable language. I especially like the human origin section which shows how and where we as a human being came from. The Hall of African Mammals was super impressive and amazing with life size animals. Make sure to download its official app Explorer to navigate inside the museum.

I have been to this museum twice and I love it! They are always renovating and bringing new pieces to the museum. PLEASE!! don't forget to go down. Apart from the dinosaurs, I think that is the most fabulous thing about this museum. all the stone and culture that this floor has is exquisite! I would go again, waiting for the expansion of the part of the Amazonia that is under construction!

part of my New York City Pass and I have to say, it was an incredible experience. The museum offers a wealth of information and exhibits about different cultures from around the world, including a strong focus on Asian, African, and American cultures. The collection is vast, detailed, and well-organized. Each exhibit is well curated and informative, with interactive elements that make it engaging for visitors of all ages. I appreciate how the exhibitions bring the visitors closer to the history, cultures and natural environment of different regions of the world. One of the highlights of my visit was the Hall of Biodiversity, which has an amazing display of animals and plants from around the world. Additionally, the Butterfly Conservatory is a wonderful way to experience the beauty and fragility of butterflies. I highly recommend visiting the museum to anyone who is interested in natural history and different cultures. It's a great place to spend an afternoon, and the city pass makes it an affordable way to visit one of the most important museums in the world.

For anyone interested in learning more about space, our planet, and the forces that shape them, a visit to the American Museum of Natural History is a must. The space exploration and earth structure exhibits are truly awe-inspiring and educational. The Big Bang show is an excellent way to immerse oneself in the fascinating origins of our universe, and it's no wonder you highly recommend it. Exploring natural elements and understanding the history of our planet Earth provides a unique perspective on our existence and the immense scale of the cosmos. It's amazing how such experiences can evoke a sense of wonder and appreciation for the natural world. Not only will you be able to witness the marvels of the universe through captivating exhibits and presentations, but you will also leave with a deeper understanding of our place in the cosmos. So, if you ever find yourself with time to spare and a desire to explore the mysteries of the universe, be sure to visit the American Museum of Natural History. It's an experience you won't soon forget.

Nice Museum.

Classic. New York icon

Attente un peu longue avant de rentrer même avec le NY city pass mais ce fût une belle visite.

Muy viejo y poco instructivo.

Lugar incrível !!!!

Superbe !!

Overcrowded, dark rooms.

Bueno, pero espere ver más objetos recuperados reales de la historia. Ya que el museo es grande es preferible ir a la zona que te guste primero.

Had a reservation but looks like it means nothing, still had to wait over an hour in queue to get in, it was the weekend however.

Hard to navigate

내부가 낡았어요. 다른 미술 박물관에 비해 너무 어두워요. 4층 공룡은 볼만 하네요. 박물관이 살아있다 영화를 보고 왔지만 좀 실망이에요.

We had such a wonderful visit! It was our last day in New York City and we had 3 hours to spend. Saw so many wonderful things and very happy that we went! All the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful! It was so fun to meet Iris, the librarian! The new section is absolutely beautiful and the construction is amazing and unique! The gift shops had a variety of items for purchase and we got some fun t-shirts and books. We would definitely go again! It was really cool to see the T-Rex from the Night at the Museum movie and the totem statue as well. Such an incredible experience for our family! Thanks so much!!!

A really really good museum with lots to see and read. Make sure to book in advance to avoid long lines and keep in mind you’ll spend several hours in there.

Enjoyed the museum and getting tickets ahead of time allowed us to skip the line. Although, there wasn’t any instructions between the free ticket (I.e. NY residents) and those who have to pay. We just got directed by the security guards outside.

So big... so big and so many interesting things to see!

Great museum! The exhibitions are made with great attention to detail and are accompanied with highly informative and interesting descriptions. Definitely a must to round off your NYC trip. The lines can be long but advance quickly. Best to buy your ticket online directly from the museum. Otherwise (if you buy it from a third party seller) you will have to change that voucher at a counter at the entrance of the museum, which will take more time.

I’m a native NYCer. I’ve been going here for a long, long time. I have a soft spot in my heart for it. I appreciate the museums drive to update-but it’s uneven. About 50% of the museum is still old age musty Roosevelt taxidermy and displays that haven’t been changed (and sometimes) cleaned in years. A lot of the native peoples/skeletons items are created representions and not original items. When something is updated it tends to get beat up real fast and is not maintained well (the beloved space center is showing its age). I really dislike that in order to access the “premium” exhibits you need to pay the full price ticket AND THEN pay extra for whatever premium exhibit you want to see (even if you’re a resident). If you can access the pay what you wish admission I still recommend a visit. It’s probably more enjoyable for adults who can slow down and absorb. Midweek when it’s quiet is best. I’d use the pay what you wish to just hang in the new section on a hot day. I don’t recommend taking small kids.. there isn’t enough for them to touch and do. If you do come with kids - come early. See one or two things they have an interest in. Hit the gift shop and then go across to Central Park.

Purchased tickets online to skip the queue. Admission plus 1 exhibit at $34 per person. Exhibit is time stamped. There are free museum tour inside. The museum is big but manageable with the map provided, even for first timer. I find that the app is not easy to use. The paper map is good enough. If you have ticketed exhibit, find out the exact location ahead of time, coz it may take you awhile to figure out exact location. Overall great experience.

Good place to visit for Dinosaur Fan. You can also find huge amount of extinct ancient mammals. Embrace the giant fossils and feel the wrath of nature.

So many incredible exhibits to experience, so little time! I highly recommend arriving as early as possible. The crowd really grew around 12:00pm. Hours of enjoyment that’s 100% worth every penny! I consider it a must-see when visiting NYC!

Amazing museum. Highly recommended. Be ready to walk a lot, but every exhibit is worth your while. I read somewhere it took them 2 hours to complete… There’s no way you’ll finish every exhibit in less than 5 hours if you are taking your time. There’s parking on premises.

Lots of interesting exhibits and things to see, from minerals & precious stones to dinosaurs & ancient animals; from space exploration to human history. Definitely something for everyone. The museum is getting older on the interior and starting to show its years, the flow between exhibits is difficult and often has to work our way back through an exhibit as there was no good way to get through. Overall great place to spend 4 hours

While visiting NYC me and my husband decided to check out this museum. There is a significant amount of rich history here and it was very informative and interesting. I will say though considering how big the museum is I think it would be nice if a flow through the exhibits existed. The beverages were also a bit pricey, I had purchased water and it was about $5 per bottle. Aside from that I would definitely recommend for people to check this spot out.

Fun museum, lots of stuff to look at so allow at least 3h (more if you like reading descriptions and want to check out everything). Gift shop was underwhelming though, lots of random, unrelated stuff

This is an awesome place. That you definitely have to visit. It is insane.

I highly recommend visiting this place. The value of the ticket is well worth it because they have a wide range of exhibitions to offer. Be prepared to spend three to four hours exploring all four floors. I suggest downloading the map through their website, as it's easy to navigate, and also purchasing tickets in advance. There are two entrances: one on Central Park West and the other on W 81st St. If you can't purchase tickets online, you can go to the cashier, but it may take 5-15 minutes depending on the day. I noticed that weekdays (Monday to Thursday) are less crowded. I visited on a Wednesday during my trip, and it was a peaceful environment for taking photos. On Friday, it was super busy, with long lines at both entrances. We were fascinated by the exhibits in the Gems and Minerals, Human Origins, Insectarium, African Mammals, Dinosaurs, and Blue Whales halls. How was your experience?

Beautiful museum with tons of different exhibits, explorations, readings, and activities for all ages. Definitely recommend getting the extra tickets for the active experiences as they are fully immersive and enjoyed by all ages (especially couples!). You can access this museum directly from the subway station and there is a water bottle filling station in the lower level near the subway entrance bathrooms. Make sure to go back to the newer section of the museum to see a lot of in depth science exhibits and amazing architecture!

It’s by far my favorite place in the city. If you are interested in any subject such as space, animals, fossils, geology and anthropology then this is your spot. It gets a little crowded, so plan with good time and buy tickets online a couple of days before. You can mía e a quick tour of all 4 floors in 2 or 3 hours but you will be missing a lot of details so, if you want to see everything well, prepare at list 4 hours to check everything.

The museum is a great place to spend a few hours or even days. We had access from a pass, so did not have to pay a separate fee, which was handy. We kind of just quickly went through everything we had access to, and it still took us about 3 hours. I'd imagine if you did want to learn and read about the various displays inside, you could easily spend several days coming back here. I didn't take many pictures as it felt more interesting to see things for myself, so I'd thoroughly recommend coming here.

Nicht nur an Regentagen eine willkommene Abwechslung. Das gesamte Museum ist klimatisiert und es gibt sehr viele Stationen um kostenfrei Wasser nachzufüllen. Die Mitarbeiter sind alle sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Man sollte gute 3 Stunden einplanen um alles in Ruhe sehen zu können. Die Kantine kann man sich sparen, da gibt es draußen wesentlich bessere und preiswertere Alternativen.

We spent the entire day at the museum and still did not see everything. We had a great time. Unfortunately the Ocean area was closed which was #1 on my daughter’s list so that was disappointing; reptiles were also closed and much of the hands-on space things were broken. The cafes were very expensive. Theses are the things that made us choose 4/5. We prefer museums that have more hands-on but the admission price is less than others we have been to. It’s still a grand day out and a must-see for history buffs. We would have loved souvenirs that were themed from ‘night at the museum’. My 11yo said it would be fun to be able to buy Lego characters from the movie. We wished there was a hunt or checklist (there’s a web page with some suggested)…my daughter had fun searching but a paper version with everything would be cool. Would also be neat to be able to buy fun stickers or magnets based on Neil Degrasse Tyson sayings or memes. Buy tickets online and skip the big crowd. We also skipped special exhibits as we knew there wouldn’t be time for everything.

I think this museum would be a lot better if it had more interactive exhibits because it has so many young visitors. Most of the exhibits are just objects you see or read about, nothing that you can really touch or play with. I think that the NY Hall of Science is way better when it comes to interactivity. I was hoping that AMNH would be more like the NY Hall of Science or the Deutches Museum in Munich, which are both way better when it comes to interactivity. There are also a lot of very old exhibits that are tucked away and don’t get much foot traffic that could definitely use some updating. The price was kinda insane but worth it since it’s a day pass, and I was able to re-enter the museum later on in the day. Annoyingly the pay what you want for NY residents doesn’t apply at all if you want a special ticket. For all the things I didn’t like, there’s a lot that was very enjoyable. The new Hall of Minerals was great, as was the new Gilder Center. The insect exhibit was very interesting and the vivarium was very fun and worth the extra cost in my opinion. It was cool to see the butterflies up close. Even though the dioramas are outdated, they are still definitely a classic hit. I think this is a cool place to check out and I would recommend it to tourists but it doesn’t quite capture me as much as it used to when I was a kid

I visited this museum while I was in New York and had a good time. There are a variety of exhibits, so you are sure to find something that you are interested in. I especially enjoyed the insect and gem exhibits. They also have a show at the planetarium, which is worth checking out. However, there were some issues getting into the museum. There was a very long line that wrapped around the building. It moved pretty slowly and took nearly an hour to get in. There was also another long line to get into the planetarium. Which caused some confusion due to the lack of organization.

This museum is very clean and organized. Went on a weekday and there were tons of kids everywhere so it must be a popular field trip spot. We went here hoping to see the giant dinosaur from Night at the Museum but you won’t find it because that movie was mainly filmed at another museum in Canada so that was a little disappointing. The ocean section of the museum was very cool, especially the huge whale. Fun place for kids, probably skip it if just a bunch of adults. We did not buy tickets ahead and didn’t have to wait at all.

Every year, this iconic museum gets better. Upgrades are more interactive, the movies are amazing and the theater in both the museum and planetarium are awesome. They new Gilder museum has a fabulous immersive experience called Invisible Worlds, that my 2 year old grandson really loved, and as members, we previewed the spectacular elephant exhibit which was full of info and fun exhibits. The museum has parking underneath, and a separate entrance for members, it has places to eat and you can pace the day beautifully. We traveled with my daughter, her toddler, my husband and me. Everyone was entertained, then a short visit to Central Park across the street, and some lunch nearby. A perfect day.

Scenes and exhibitions are so realistic that they look real, and it feels like being in the jungle or on the savannah. We had the chance to visit the museum as part of a guided tour in Italian. Our guide — a museum’s staff member named Karin — was so kind and clearly passionate about history that she involved us immediately. Really, really interesting. Totally recommend. I’d suggest to take at least half a day to visit since the museum is huge.

The museum ticket was part of the New York Explorer Pass and it was an interesting way to spend an educational afternoon. Tge museum was full of well-crafted animal sculptures along with information of how they survive in various habitats. The dinosaur skeletons were also magnificent to see.
