The American Museum of Natural History is absolutely incredible! There’s so much to explore that you could easily spend an entire day here and still feel like you’ve only scratched the surface. The exhibits are fascinating, from the massive dinosaur fossils to the stunning displays on the ocean and outer space. The museum is clean, well-organized, and truly brings science to life in the most exciting way. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and there are tons of interactive features that make it fun for all ages. The planetarium show was a highlight — breathtaking visuals and a really cool learning experience.

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!

I really enjoyed visiting the Central Park Zoo, it’s clean, well-organized, and the animals look well cared for. The atmosphere is great for families and the location right in the heart of the park makes it even better. I just wish there were a few more animals and exhibits to explore; the visit felt a bit short. Overall, it’s a lovely experience and definitely worth checking out!

    Loved it! Me and my girlfriends first time in New York City and ofcourse we had to see the American museum of natural history. We arrived at the museum at what I could only assume one of the busiest times of the year mid December and it didn't feel busy at all inside the museum ofcourse it was but there's so many levels and exhibits that you're never around lots of people, we also took a break inside the museum cafe which was a nice break for some food and drink at a decent price you would expect for a museum of this calibre it was a nice break in between the walking. Overall great experience and would absolutely recommend to anyone interested in natural history/ night at the museum movie, we got to see "rexy" and "dumb dumb" (Easter island head stone) And MUCH MORE which was very cool! Don't wait book the tickets and go you won't regret it! Headout app really helped us pre book the tickets and made it easy when we arrived, the staff at the museum even know of the Headout app and recognized the tickets immediately, definitely recommend Headout app!

    It was a very relaxing activity to do on Thanksgiving Day. Always fun to visit Central Park and it didn't seem overly crowded.

    It was not very crowded, the best activity with kids in a rainy day. The food at the food court was fresh and good.
