I booked tickets directly on the Headout app, which in itself was extremely easy, once at the venue I went to the front desk and they scanned our tickets with no issues at all. The museum itself wasn't my cup of tea I enjoyed some aspects of it but I probably wouldn't reccomed the natural history museum to others. The Headout app however I would recommended for sure! I have a few more ticketed events I've booked through Headout still to do whilst we are in New York for the next week!

One of my favorite parts of my trip to NYC. So many interesting exhibits and the dinosaurs was probably my favorite part of the whole museum. The place is huge and you could easily spend an entire day there looking through all of the artifacts and information. Definitely a must do. They even have lockers to store you jackets or purses while you stroll around the museum which was a huge plus since it's winter and I have a heavy coat I'd have to carry around if not. 10/10

It's a very welcoming experience. The place is very clean and the animals look healthy. I liked the entrance, seeing the very cute seals, and the penguins too, but my favorite part was the tropical area where the birds are. It's a warm place full of tropical species and plants. The birds fly over you, you're right next to them. All the species there are very beautiful. I really enjoyed my visit to the Central Park Zoo.

Ticketing and getting in the museum was easy. Most amazing experience was at the gift shop where 2 girls, maybe 10 ish used a $100 bill to pay for items that came to 60 ish and change. The young girl told the cashier to keep the change. The cashier then explained to the girls how much money she was offering to give away and explained the math to them amd advised them to be careful going forward.

This was a perfect way to spend a half day in NYC with a five year old. It's easy to navigate seeing everything by just going in a circle. The indoor aviary had beautiful birds and served as a respite from the cold. I wondered if the chilly December day meant the animals were more active, as opposed to being sluggish on a hot day (??) ...since the animals are snow monkeys, a snow leopard, and grizzly bears. It was a great way to spend a cold day outdoors!

Both are amazing options to do while visiting NYC! From the snow leopard to the tropic zone, there are varying options no matter what the weather is outside at the Central Park Zoo. Experiencing larger than life exhibitions at the American Museum of Natural history was awe inspiring and the Milky Way tour is a must! All in all, you won't be disappointed with these 2 options!

    • This combo ticket is perfect for families and people with curious children, with AMNH filled with galleries about the planet and the universe's history, and the Zoo providing experiences with animals from around the world.
