The butterfly exhibit was a great experience. We took our mother for her birthday and she loves butterflies. Also, the dinosaur exhibit we really enjoyed.

Would definitely recommend a visit to the American Museum of Natural History. Easy and no hassle to gain entry with barcode tickets using a dedicated line and we were all amazed at how many exhibitions and artefacts there were! One of our best things we visited while in New York

Went with my whole family (4), there were so many different things to look and gave my family a very good time. My second time there totally worth to spend 4-5 hours learning about different things.

A great museum especially for the young...starting at five or six years old. The Hayden Planaterium was well worth it. The dinosaur exhibits outstanding.

My children surprisingly loved the mineral room. It was well structured, and the giant digital screen for creating minerals was the best part. It was unique compared to other museums. The hidden worlds exhibit also left them speechless. Apart from the giant dinosaurs.

The exhibets themselves were very good. Handicapped access was very difficult: unclear how to enter museum, VERY limited elevator access (only one elevator was working in one of the elevator banks). The museum tempeture was very cold
