The atmosphere is very welcoming. I like the fact that it accommodates all ages. The exhibitions are stunning. Climb up to the third and fourth floor for mind blowing sights. The free add-on to the ticket was a great spell. I'm planning for another tour soon, with a friend.

Lots to see at the American Natural History Museum, I'd recommend buying the tickets in advance online as they will tell you to do this in line anyway. Also I wouldn't buy all of exhibitions tickets, each one is fascinating and was well worth $10 each but you won't have time to see them all plus the regular entry exhibits. The Hayden Planetarium was a stand out for me though so I'd recommend working that in for sure. It blows away the one at the Franklin Institute in Philly.Patricia

I took very few photos, because I was so drawn into the fascinating exhibits. I loved the Big Bang experience, the beauty of Invisible Worlds, and the Global Warming exhibit. It was a wonderful afternoon.
