The American museum of Natural History is housed in a glorious, rambling building close to Central Park. There is an imposing entrance on the Northern side, but now the main entrance faces the Park. Entry is a breeze, with ticket desks helpful and asking a modest charge, which can be varied depending on the depth of your pockets. As the... More

What a diverse collection of history and the earths treasures. Found the museum to be an excellent mix of items to keep people interested. They managed to make at least one exhibit in every area appeal to everyone. The well done animal scenes were very good and realistic to view. The odd little facts about space and even the New...

This is a great museum. It is huge, we budgeted an afternoon which was far too little time to see and read about everything. We wound up running through the Planetarium because we spent most of our time with the dinosaurs. This is easily a 2-day venue.

As much as I love this museum and I love walking through Central Park to get there....I think it's time they clean this place. The dust bunnies on the dinosaurs are huge!!!!

I am sorry to say that I was not impressed. I went through the rooms with birds, mammals, monkeys.....Indians (?!) The Big Bang movie did not persuade me at all, even though I accept the theory. The ocean life exhibit did not either. There were interesting spots there with no doubt, but I expected more.

I cant even count how many times I've been here but I can say everytime was like seeing it the very first time. DONT MISS IT!

Even if the permanent collection is always an enchnatement and notably the dinosaurus section, the interest of their special exhibits are almost always exceptional. This year, the one on our way of alimenation is more than perfect : interactive, interesting, and you can have some tasting...
