The ticket purchase process was quick and easy. However, having to redeem the voucher for physical tickets at the counter was an unnecessary extra step. It would have been much better if the voucher could be used directly for entry, making the experience completely seamless. That said, the museum has an excellent collection, and we had a wonderful time exploring the exhibits with the kids. It was both educational and enjoyable, offering a great opportunity to learn about history in an engaging way. Overall, it was a memorable family experience.

I found both of them to be quite an entertaining experience; you really should set aside at least half a day to fully enjoy these museums. I think both have something incredible to offer, even without paying for the extras. Personally, I would have loved to visit the specific dinosaur section, but all the fossils I saw were impressive, and that was just a small part of the entire museum. The art museum was truly incredible; it had some lovely pieces with powerful messages. I went with my girlfriend, and she enjoyed it to the fullest. Even though I’m not that big of an art fan, I had an amazing time, and it was a wonderful experience, so I totally recommend it.

Save big and make the most of your New York City trip with this combo of two top-rated attractions: the American Museum of Natural History and a sightseeing cruise to the Statue of Liberty.

Learn all about the mysteries of our natural world and human evolution at the American Museum of Natural History, home to over 30 million specimens.

Explore the depths of the ocean and the farthest corners of outer space at the Rose Center.

Then set sail on a 90-minute cruise on the Hudson River, taking in the classic New York City skyline, including the One World Trade Center, the iconic bridge, and the Empire State Building.

When the horn sounds, you'll be approaching the Statue of Liberty, with a 10-minute stop to take the perfect photo.

Enjoy flexible booking, allowing you to experience both attractions with ease based on your itinerary.

A nice museum and definitely worth a visit. There’s plenty to see, including dioramas with animals, skeletons of various dinosaurs, and all kinds of artifacts from different cultures. We really enjoyed our time here. Tickets are easy to order through Headout, which also lets you get in quickly.
