Beautiful museum. Majestic displays and shows. I only got to do two, Wings on Water and the Planetarium, so I will definitely visit again. Will spring for the personal tour because I wanted more interaction.

Grandsons first visit to AMNH

Ellen_G, Feb 2022

This was my 14 year old grandson’s first visit to the museum. He is from Boston and his friends had told him about the whale. At first that’s all he could talk about and all he wanted to see (loved that it had a bandaid where it had the Covid shot)! He was fascinated with all the exhibits and told me how lucky I am to live in New York so I can get to the museum anytime I want. After regaling his family with how he loved his trip to the museum, I will now be taking his younger brother to the museum on their next visit to New York, so he can see the dinosaurs! My grandson said the displays were “Spectacular “.

Robert_L, Jan 2022

So much to see and do there make sure you schedule enough time. We spent 4 hours there and only saw about half the museum. Every exhibit is amazing and so well done. This is a MUST SEE when in the city.
