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

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.

Everything was well organized, clear expectations and purchasing the tickets was so easy! There wasn't as much people at 7:30 when we went, so it also made the experience so much better!! Also, the 86th floor elevator supervisor / manager was so well spoken in Spanish and knew so much about Costa Rica and Venezuela which made our WHOLE night that much more amazing!

For me, the Empire State Building is one of the most iconic buildings and places in New York. I visited it 30 years ago and always return whenever I'm in New York. I find the entertainment area on the ground floor and information about the ESB, including the recreated "King Kong scene," simply fantastic. The ESB is a must.

I had my 11 year old grandson with me and he was so excited to see the famous buildings around us from different vantage points. He had learned a lot about the Empire State Building at school and was thrilled to so it in person. He also loved climbing from the 80th to 86th floor!!

    We were surprised by the lack of line to the top of the ESB! We got right up and right out. However... the view was very foggy and we could see nothing. The day was very dreary and we were quite literally in the fog. No view whatsoever. The people were friendly, but we did not get an audio guide.

    I started on the 4th floor and worked my way down. Every corridor was just amazing. The employees were so nice and helpful directing me and I got to see pretty much everything.
