The Central Park Zoo is a great half-day trip for families with young kids. Everyone had a wonderful time, there’s plenty to see without too much walking, which makes it perfect for little ones. The 4D movie was a big hit and added a fun extra touch to the visit. Highly recommended for a relaxed family outing in the city!

Show of sea lions was wonderful- The trainers should talk and say something about the sea lions / seals as many children could learn. 2- Most animals could not be seen: monkeys/bears/ snow leopard Ticket cost is very high Flowers / landscaping is excellent

We had planned to go, but I didn't purchase tickets ahead of time because I wasn't sure if we'd change our minds. So I bought the tickets through headout while we were outside the venue. Everything was seamless, and the museum itself was amazing. We had to leave before we could see all of it. So we will definitely be back. Thank you!

    • This combo ticket is perfect for families and people with curious children, with AMNH filled with galleries about the planet and the universe's history, and the Zoo providing experiences with animals from around the world.

    • Enjoy flexible booking and choose to visit both attractions on the same day since they're only a short walk apart, or take your time and explore both at your own pace on separate days.

    • Dive into over 40 galleries at the American Museum of Natural History, from massive dinosaur skeletons to the wonders of the universe, and halls tracing the evolution of human history.

    • Enjoy the Central Park Zoo’s vibrant habitats, from penguins swimming in the Polar Circle to tropical birds in the lush rainforest.

    • Save an additional 5% off with this combo ticket to add to your list of perks and make your itinerary a whole lot more fun!

    The museum was great. I was disappointed that I didn't book directly with the museum. I had to stand in an extremely long line to redeem my head out vouchers. I thought I was booking directly with the museum on line. Won't do that again.

    Loved the museum but would have been nice if someone told us we had to get in line to get paper tickets even though we got online tickets.
