American Museum of Natural History

In my opinion American Museum of Natural History is the best museum to visit in NYC. This museum is very interesting and big, I would recommend you to come here in the morning so you have plenty of time to explore the whole area of the museum. The museum has a lot of interesting and different sections to see. In my opinion, the most interesting part of the museum was 4 floor that is about primitive and advanced mammals. Also on the 4 floor you could find fossils of different types of dinosaurs. In addition to my review, I was impressed by the unusual lobby, the lobby has interesting quotes on the wall and in the middle of the lobby there is a fossil of a giant dinosaur. When I went into the museum, I didn’t need to wait a long time to get in, but it would be better for you to buy tickets online so you have don’t have to worry about the line.

Visiting the American Museum of Natural History in New York was an incredible experience that captivated both my inner child and adult curiosity. The realism of the exhibits was truly impressive. As I wandered through the animal dioramas, I was struck by how lifelike they were. Each display seemed to transport me into a different habitat, with animals looking so real that I almost expected them to move. The detail in the taxidermy and the recreated environments made it easy to lose myself in the wonders of nature. The crystal and mineral exhibits were equally stunning. I marveled at the vibrant colors and intricate shapes of the crystals, each one presented with such clarity and beauty. It felt like stepping into a dazzling world of natural artistry. The museum did an excellent job of making the exhibits engaging for all ages. Overall, my visit to the museum was both educational and awe-inspiring. It’s a place where the natural world is brought to life in a way that’s both magical and meaningful for visitors of all ages. I advice to book your ticket in advance.

Wow, this museum is massive! It is huge and so interesting! if you’re the type to read most things inside a museum be prepared to spend over 5 hours here. This museum is perfect for people of all ages! I went here solo and I was having a blast. I honestly wished I had more time to read and explore. Pro tip, all CT, NY and NJ residents can pay as much as they want I personally paid a single dollar, just bring your ID. I highly recommend this museum!

It is a really fun place, however, it is hard to rate it higher given several of the factors associated with making the trip. First thing to consider is I do not live in NY, I live in central NJ, so getting into NY is an unfortunate factor to add into the equation. Museum parking for more than 5 hours is 46 dollars. That is not bad given NYC, just something to factor into the equation if you plan on driving in. The next thing is the ticket prices. It can be free, however, I wanted to take my girlfriend to the butterfly vivarium. The way the ticket prices work is if you want one of the additional events you need to purchase a general ticket first and then the event of interest is added on afterwards. This means if you are interested in attending the butterfly vivarium, its around 30 dollars a person for the 20 minutes you may be spending there. I suppose it is worth it if you really want to make someone you care about happy, but otherwise that does not seem super realistic. Another factor to consider is the crowds. I went on a Thursday from 11am to closing (5pm). The only time it was even remotely quiet was in the reptile room (a relatively remote area of the museum) at around 3:30pm. otherwise the crowds and commotion can be pretty grating. Thinking about it, I wouldn't mind the pricing of everything as much, if it was an actual museum experience, as opposed to the amusement park experience that was presented to us. I am aware if you want to attend the museum after hours (from 6 to 8pm) you could do that with the membership, however, the membership is somewhat expensive, isn't the most practical for someone living outside of the city, and frankly a strong enough experience was not made on me

This museum is incredibly expansive, and I found myself needing to return to fully explore all it has to offer. The exhibits are captivating and I particularly appreciated how the message of interconnectedness was emphasized throughout. I would recommend setting aside 4-5 hours to truly immerse yourself in all the museum has to offer.
