    Had a wonderful experience today at AMNH gift shop. Wonderful selection of gifts for yourself & your friends. But the best part was dealing with Lauren who treated me like visiting royalty & Tyra who wrapped my purchase fit for a queen. They were so delightful. I love what I bought with Lauren’s help. A beautiful slab of specularite at a very good price. I’ll be back soon to shop & visit with Lauren & Tyra. Thank you ladies!

    AMNH shop is not so different from any other museum shop. If you can get the discount it's not so bad. There are about 2&1/2 floors of shop the very top one is where the more expensive stuff is so avoid that if you are with kids.

    You cannot leave without a souvenir from this shop, there are real gems here! (Pun intended). The staff is really nice and prices vary from $1 to thousands of dollars, your choice!

    Very impressed by the Museum of Natural History museum shops. A high variety of items, some locally sourced, some name brand (Legos, for instance), and generally just good stuff. Highly recommend if you want a fun, geeky souvenir.

    A fantastic museum only second to the British Museum of Natural History. Avoid the mornings as this is when all the school children arrive. Rainy days also make the museum a busy place to be.

    I know Islam and when it comes to this subject, there are many lies. like the section talking about Jihad and how islam grew up in africa and Europe because of holy war witch is untrue.. very disappointed.. About other stuff i don't know but i am already disappointed

    Expensive but that's the norm for gift shops. The only thing I missed where postcards

  • 3/5 Md. sayef p. 5 years ago on Google
    I have baught several items from here. the relics are eye-catching. Over all a nice place to visit once a week. Rather the place is nice for snaps. visitors come here often in the weekend but the calm environment keeps this place interesting.

    Times tickets are a scam. We waited in the ticket line for a whole hour just to find the virtual line for gems and minerals was already filled up for the day.

    this is a wonderful place to spend the day with or without children. the displays are interesting & informative. i've been there half a dozen times and still have not seen everything.
