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 an awesome experience! I would consider myself a world traveler as I've been to viewing decks and buildings in 5 continents now and this has been the best bang for your buck. Most of them you just pay and go to the top but not this one! We elected to only go up to the 86th floor but even that was a great experience. The history of the building, the different movies that include the building and then being able to get our photo at the end was top notch. Highly recommend to other travelers!

The tickets were easy to redeem. The experience was great! We enjoyed learning about the history of the ESB before getting to enjoy the views. The views are incredible! We appreciated the arrows pointing in the direction of many major city attractions to look out for. The outside viewing deck was also good - it was very windy and cold the day we were there, so we didn't enjoy it as much as the indoor views.

Book tickets to two historic and cultural attractions together—the Empire State Building for stunning views and the American Museum of Natural History for interactive exhibits about the planet's history.

Enjoy skyline views of NYC from the 86th-floor observatory at the Empire State Building, with landmarks like Central Park and the Statue of Liberty.

Visit the exhibits located within the Empire State Building to learn more about the history & cultural impact of the attraction, & admire the Art Deco-themed lobby on your way to the observatory.

Explore the American Museum of Natural History’s fascinating exhibits, from dinosaur fossils to interactive space displays.

Learn about the cultural evolution of mankind, find out more about what surrounds our planet, and see a fossil collection that includes the famous T-rex exhibit on your trip to the AMNH.

These attractions are only a 30-min drive apart, and with flexible booking options, you can visit them on the same day or on different days.

I have been wanting to go and visit the Empire State building for years and I finally had the perfect opportunity to do so. I loved being able to see the historic building with my two children. I was impressed with how clean and organized the staff and facility was. Staff was extremely friendly and made the experience feel very comfortable.

We were absolutely overwhelmed by the amazing experience and views from the Empire State Building. We went as high as the 86th floor and the scenic changes between daylight, sunset and the spectacular lights at nightfall were breathtaking. I couldn't stop taking pictures. It was the best and exhilarating. Highly recommend!
