It was great time with my son
Wonderful and educational with helpful staff and accessible! Also recommend downloading their app which has an interactive map that will guide you around the museum! Take the time when you buy your ticket to go on their website and also book some of the amazing exhibits that they have that are timed before you go.
First time ever going to the museum. I spent hours there. It was a blast. Here, you can see anything from up in outer space, to the depths of the ocean floor, and everything in between. If you get hungry, check out the food cafeteria they got. It'll remind you of school days. COVID protocols were in place. Take the family, or don't. It's fun and informative for all ages. I'll return some day.
This place is amazing on so many levels! It's a must go to spot once in your life thing. I would have to write alot to explain all about this place so I'll give you the short version, parking is extremely hard to find because of course, you're in New York city! There is parking under the building and you have to obviously pay for it or you might get lucky on one of the streets. And it's a little walk to get Inside so put good walking shoes on because you're going to get your steps in here lol there is a new Shark exhibit and it's really cool! But it's a little room that's fast to go through. The gems and minerals part is literally out of this world and more beauty then can ever imagine! The Dino exhibit is amazing to see these huge skeletons of what was long ago! And much much more! There are elevators and stairs you can take. Bathrooms everywhere and food and drinks and gift shops! Everything you do at the end has a gift shop, before you leave the museum that gift shop has everything all the others have, so don't load up on the way and have to carry all that stuff around with you all day! Bring a backpack that helps, and they will search it before entering! As well as walking through a metal detector. They are still requesting you ware a mask and will give you one if forgotten for free. People from all over the world come here every day. That says it all. So be safe and have a great time at one of our very best museums of New York city!
It was so impressed to see a lot of photos about the first human kind that land on the Moon, they have a big gallery of the moon landing record history photo gallery.
I'm impressed how big this museum is!!
Not well organized to get in.. even with you're reservations you still need to wait a long line cause they keep trying to upgrade you're tickets
One of the coolest experience here is that you can measure your weight on all different planets of our solar system.
Fun activity for the whole family. We spent the whole day and yet we didn't get to see everything.
