Does a place like AMNH really need a review? Brilliant as always. Have been visiting the museum since I was 12 years old, and this place never gets old. World heritage, cultural heritage...

One of the best museums I've been to. You'll need a map, you can easily spend the whole day here. The gem/geode collection was beautiful, the dinosaur exhibit was so cool and had a lot of real fossils/bones. Loved seeing the different animal species. Also the sea creature exhibit was beautifully laid out!!!!

Chicagoan here 👋: YOU MUST GO TO THIS MUSEUM!!! They offer an immense amount of interactive experience that can be enjoyed by all ages. Every hall I entered was just a whole new world of information that was perfectly laid out and explained. Highly recommend seeing the dinosaurs and gems. I feel like I didn't even see half of the exhibits but I'm definitely going to go back again in the future! 🙌

This museum is absolutely awesome if you are interested in history, space, animals, and rocks. It is incredibly easy to get lost in this expensive building filled with tons of exhibits. Tickets start at $23 for adults. If you are a New York resident and have proof, tickets become a “pay what you wish” option. No matter what you do, make sure you make take a reservations online! This is a must if you want to get into this museum. Lines are incredibly long and you will not be able to come here without a reservation online. I do wish this museum had a better flow as it can be quite confusing to get to different areas. They don’t all inner connect, making this kind of a crazy scramble of people at peak hours. I really enjoyed their exhibits of animals as well as their exhibits of different people throughout history.

Absolutely fantastic and amazing museum. I visited many museums across the world but AMNH NYC is my favourite. You must book tickets online (received free tickets; corporate membership), need to go early as huge lineup will be there and map is a must. I enjoyed all exhibits but mostly the gems and stones section, giant whale, elephants, dinosaur and countries section. There is restaurant in the lower floor serves freshly cooked meals and food is really delicious. All staff are very helpful. Highly recommended
