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.

Edge is simply a must-see!!! Stunning views of the entire city, an absolutely incredible experience—I managed to take so many great photos. They closed off part of the outdoor deck, but that didn’t stop me from taking excellent photos. Vessel is also great for taking photos from high up with a view. And it’s quite different!

Both experiences were very good, easy access to everything. Museum was huge and full, but quite interesting. The zoo is a bit smaller than I expected however it a wonderful and beautiful place, very well maintained and the animals seemed to be well taken cared of,

It was a impromptu trip for me. Got tickets while standing in line at the museum. Easy and fast. Once in, I hit every story, every corridor. Didn't miss a turn. Took me 4 1/2 hrs to complete. Loved everything about it. Bucket list ✔️

The museum is huge and amazing—we had a blast. It has several floors, so you need to set aside plenty of time and dress comfortably to really explore every area. Our favorite part was the ocean exhibit where the whale is located.

I thought that the NHM in London was brilliant, but, AMNH surpasses by a mile. Its the place to head for , so much to see, you need a couple of days to take it all in. Great team, great museum, thanks for making our day so marvelous.

    This museum is amazing—you won't be disappointed, from the dinosaur floor to the space exhibits on the lower level. If you're coming to New York, you should definitely check it out. Just go to the ticket counter, have your tickets scanned, and you're all set.

    Truly exceptional...highly recommended...but plan on spending 5 to 6 hours there if you want to take your time and see everything. There are many interactive areas that kids really love.
