What travellers are saying
- Zoe YWakefield, UK192 contributionsDidn't go to the museum but went to the memorial so emotional. A lot of people around but so quiet and eary. What a beautiful tribute to those who sadly died that day. Brought back that day watching the tragedy unfold from the UK.Written 8 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- JensenNashvilleNashville23 contributionsOur guide was great! He got us around to many of the important exhibits, and helped us with suggestions for other works of art to see after the tour was over. We will definitely use Kevin Draper for tours on our next trip to NYC!Written 11 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Derek A4 contributionsThe American Museum of Natural History is a must-visit in NYC! It's massive and packed with fascinating exhibits for all ages. Highlights include the butterfly and Hayden Planetarium exhibits, the impressive 4th floor featuring mammal displays and dinosaur fossils, and the grand lobby with a giant dinosaur skeleton. Arrive early to explore fully and consider buying tickets online to skip the line.Written 12 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- BluePlate-Nowsan antonio215 contributionsTake the free tour and find out so much about this library. It is second to the Library of Congress for the size of its holdings. Beautiful building with quite a history. The Rose Reading Room is beautiful and olde style. The Library Treasures Exhibit is amazing. The Library is next to Bryant Park which is also a nice visit.Written 26 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- MedScotland, UK126 contributionsThe Oculus is the most modern Subway station in New York. It has coffee houses, Restaurants and Retailers. It connects to the One World Observatory and the Brookfield place shopping centre with high-end retailers. It is below the Twin Tower memorials.
A must for all visitors.Written 18 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

But also surprises, such as a brilliant 30-panel series by Jacob Lawrence on the Black migration from the South to Chicago. Or a new massive installation by a Nigerian artist featuring a tapestry as tall as the museum itself--5 or 6 floors. I also enjoyed eating in the cafe with a friend. I downgraded a star because of an experience I had toward the end of the day. I couldn't locate Van Gogh's Starry Night and asked a staff member in the relevant 5th floor gallery where it was. He kept saying I should consult the museum website online, which was weird. I thought all the staff could answer such a question. I just couldn't find the info online. When I got back to my hotel and dug around, I realized Starry Night had been captured for a special exhibit dedicated to a famous donor and was actually on the 2nd floor. Googling had only info saying go to the 5th floor for Starry Night, and the MoMA website was so packed with info that I couldn't easily find it. I still don't know whether the staff member had the info or not, but the museum's signage and website should have been clearer on this. The museum store features so much merch on Starry Night that they understand its popularity. There should be a lobby sign at all times just identifying the gallery where it is. I saw it many years ago but would have liked to see it again, and this is probably my final trip to New York.Written 9 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Several peaceful courtyards and plenty of amazing medieval art. The collection of tapestries was particularly impressive.

- OnAir237020385841 contributionI went with the Ambassador travel club in Indianapolis where I've been living for several decades now but originally I'm from Queens, NY. My mom used to take my sister and me to Radio City when we were kids. As an adult, I worked across the street and was given free tickets for the show by my employer. It's always been a special treat to see the show, the moving orchestra, the grand staircase, the hidden organ player, and especially the Rocketts. As kids, we'd see a movie and a show. Every employee there treated me with efficiency and speed. On this trip I offered a tip to the young woman directing lines in the ladies room but she said they weren't allowed to accept tips. Every attendant, server, motorcoach driver with our group, maid, waiter, etc. I encountered in NY made me proud. Keep up the great work people - you're the best!Written 8 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- GoPlaces3162769038516 contributionsSo beautiful! We happen to visit on Sunday, December 1 and attended the first Sunday in Advent Christmas service. The organ fills the church and so angelic! The stain glass, the intricate details are amazing! The manager scene is incredible! You can respectfully enter the church and walk around, no reservations required and no fee. A truly incredible experience! Highly recommend! The Lotte Hotel is across the street and also a must see!Written 7 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- sanju_222323New Jersey17,373 contributionsEllis Island is one of the most popular destinations in the National Park Service, thanks in part to the Ellis Island National Museum of Immigration. No trip to the Statue of Liberty is complete without visiting Ellis Island
Even if you don’t consider yourself a museum person, this is a place I’d recommend to anyone, especially if you’ve never been to Ellis Island before. Ellis Island explores the history of U.S. immigration, with a specific focus on the island as a national immigration center from 1892-1954
Behind the museum, you’ll find the American Immigrant Wall of Honor. On this massive wall, you can find names of immigrants who came to the U.S. Alphabetically engraved on the wall are hundreds of thousands of immigrants, from various time periods.
There is also a large grassy patch that provides the perfect spot to have a picnic with views of New York City and the Statue of Liberty.Written 9 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
