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!

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.

    Beautiful museum, lots of people and it was worth going. Very fascinating the size of the works but also the size of the museum itself that you visit on 4 floors.

    It was good however the lines were really long and the staff seemed stressed. I went to see the marine and gem display and the butterfly exhibit.
