Cristian – United Kingdom

It’s a very big Museum, very confusing to get around so make sure you have enough time to spend there! Booked all the exhibitions as well and were great! The exhibition Passport of the Universe it was one of the best ever. Favourite spots were crystals, insects and butterflies 🦋 Definitely worth it.

Sue Ellen – United States

I loved the gem and mineral room, all the films, so excellently curated. Better directions for disabled access would be appreciated.

Full description

Enjoy a day of family-friendly activities at the American Museum of Natural History, in New York City. Located just across from Central Park, the museum is home to over 32 million specimens. Benefit from all-day entry.

Explore all permanent exhibitions as well as the Rose Center for Earth and Space. Wander through over 40 halls to learn about dinosaurs and diamonds, and everything in between.

The new Richard Gilder Center for Science, Education, and Innovation is an incredible addition to the museum, featuring state-of-the-art exhibits and immersive experiences that are perfect for all ages. You can explore the mysteries of the universe in the planetarium, journey through time in the Hall of Biodiversity, and come face-to-face with some of the world's largest and most incredible creatures in the Milstein Hall of Ocean Life.

Look out for the iconic Tyrannosaurus Rex skeleton and Easter Island head that inspired characters in the film "Night at the Museum."

Connect to the museum's WiFi and download the free Explorer App to your smartphone. The app offers turn-by-turn navigation, behind-the-scenes stories about exhibits, quizzes, and more. See the exhibition highlights at your own pace with the museum's self-guided tours of popular collections.

Ticketed Exhibitions (available with General Admission + One ticket type, optional inclusion)

Invisible Worlds: Be transported into nature’s hidden realms—from the depths of the ocean to the DNA strands in all living organisms—in Invisible Worlds, a unique experience on view in the Museum’s permanent 360-degree immersive theater.

The Secret World of Elephants explores the evolution of elephants, their political and cultural significance, and inspiring efforts to overcome threats to survival.

Passport to the Universe: The original Space Show is back for a limited engagement. Fly beneath the rings of Saturn, float through the heart of the Orion Nebula, and plunge into a black hole during this captivating introduction to cosmology, narrated by Academy Award Winner Tom Hanks.

Giant-Screen Film: The Museum's LeFrak Theater features a 40-foot-high, 66-foot-wide screen and a state-of-the-art digital sound system with nature-inspired films on view. The theater is wheelchair accessible, and captioning devices and audio description devices are available.
