Headout is awesome! The interface works so user friendly, and I could save some bucks with the discounts as well. What else would I need. Also, I can now explore more based on suggestions from Headout. I love it.

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.

Great location! Ticket purchase was easy, entry was smooth. The sensory exploration was 5 stars! We had smiles in our faces the entire time! We loved the illustration room and watching our animals come to life. Highly tecommend and would go back again!

What we liked most of all was that we took the time to really look at things we’d seen before but had never really noticed. And of course, Lain played a big part in that—he had an enthusiastic little story ready for every stop.

I was able to get the tickets online very quickly; it was really easy to pay for them online. They were emailed to me right away. And finally, the visit to the Empire State Building—even though it’s an old building, I really loved the organization and, of course, the spectacular views.

very nice experience, hieever I was surprised by the long lines at security. You need to arrive at Battery Park an hour before your reservation time.
