I used to love going here as a kid, and still do\r

Check out the planetarium

nice, great

Interesting

Pros: Best in town

The AMNH is one of the most organized and has some of the most friendliest staff workers in all of the museums in NY. In addition to their excellent exhibits, the food is pretty great as well! If you're a fan of the Night at the Museum

Pros: realistic exhibits, educational, name your own price tickets

Cons: Usually lots of school field trips

Want to watch your children learn and have memories last a lifetime? Watch your child's facial expressions as they see the dinosaurs and learn about our past and gain history, and knowledge! This is the best place to take your children

Pros: Educational and fun! Dinosaurs feel alive!

Fun to check out if your bored

Usually it is a great place to visit but NOT for Halloween. Our group was so disappointed. This was the biggest waste of money ($10 a person) It was an absolute nightmare. They were unorganized and made you feel like you were begging for

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Chaos, unorganized, expensive for what you get

Each student payed how ever much they did want with donation. I payed a quarter and got in. But I payed almost a fortune to see the planetarium, but it was worth it. It like takes you to a different world. Awesome giftshops and gemstones,

Pros: It's worth going to study culture, animals, and history

Cons: rude staff

This place is a good way to spend a few hours in nyc if your into animals and history. Theres a lot to see here and no matter how many times you keep coming back youll still never be able to see everything. The only drawback is the

The new Polar Rink was HORRIBLE. The polymer materials is nothing like ice nor is it fun. It is tiles put together which has edges popping up and the dull blades make it impossible to glide. I took kids there and they were bummed out! The

Pros: Great museum

Cons: Terrible skating rink

Frank;y, its a beautiful building. However, half of it is stuffed fake animals with a fake painted background behind them with a plaque on the wall to read off of. Why not just go to the zoo where the animals are alive and more fun to look

All i can say is this is a fantastic place to go hangout for a day and get lost in. Tons of exhibits, you'll wonder if it's ever going to end. This isn't stuff your going to see everyday, so it's very intersting. The only thing that's bad

Pros: everything!

Cons: parking!

This is a wonderful museum. The dioramas, the IMAX, the Planetarium (recently rebuilt) are all wonderful and entertaining. Check online or call in advance to see what the special exhibit is and to see if there are live animal exhibits on

Pros: IMAX, Live Exhibits

Cons: Can get crowded

Indispensible. This NYC landmark is one of the best museums in the city, if not THE BEST. A wonderful place to while away the hours. The dinosaur exhibit alone is worth the price of admission. What are you waiting for? GO NOW!

I have been to the AMNH over five times, but I just won't get tired of it. Not only does it have an amazing collection of animals and dinosaur fossils, but also insights on how our planet evolved to what it is today and some of the past

Pros: Superb permanent collection, with guides who help kids understand what they see

This was not very a very interesting museum for me. I could not find a bathroom anywhere! I paid extra for the gold exhibit and there was not really that much there. A bunch of nuggets. Save your money and have a look at

Pros: Extensive collection of DEAD animals

Cons: Lack of bathrooms

Its easy to be impressed with all of the special exhibitions this place has to offer, what is really difficult however, is attempting to cover the entire museum in a day. It just simply cannot be done. 8 hours may not be enough in this

Pros: Exhibits, Variety, Ambiance

Cons: Prices, Service

Screaming children trying to smash butterflies in the butterfly conservatory and the permanent exhibits look like elementary and middle school projects. I thought I was on candid camera--it was so frustrating and everything looked so cheap

Pros: in a nice area

Cons: confusing layout, expensive, rude staff

The world-leading dinosaur exhibit is amazing, no matter what your age, and there are numerous other areas to be discovered that will keep you entertained for hours (the gemstones, meteorites, Rose Space center, Millstein Hall of Ocean

Pros: Dinosaurs!!!, Rose Space Center, Dinosaurs!!!

Cons: Parking prices
