Other than the dinosaur exhibit, which was totally awesome, my 2 teenagers were not interested in any of the other exhibits in the museum, except for the attractions that cost extra...IMAX and the planetarium. Though the dioramas were incredible, teens just aren't interested in these. I imagine elementary age children probably would be. The butterfly exhibit would probably have been... more

Well the above says it all really. Visited today with my one year old son and i was SO disappointed. The planeterium was dirty and they started the film before i could get seated with my son which made it dangerous as it was pitch black carrying a child. The staff were so rude and the planetarium was filthy. The... more

I have been here a few times. I would now be a visitor to this area, and I would not return to this museum. It is impressive, for the most part, but maybe you view if differently when you're younger. The last visit, I got the "boy, this is hokey" feeling with some of the displays. Would I recommend seeing... more

The IMAX and planetarium shows... more

I have never given anything on tripadvisor a "terrible" rating, but due to my trip to the museum, it is in need of one. My partner and I came to NYC to see a broadway show. The following day, we wanted to walk around the city a bit, but due to the rain, we decided to check out this museum.... more

Are you people kidding, AMNH is the best place on Earth! This museum has too much to offer for one day. It is the best place to go to learn something new and to be surrounded by research that has been done by top scientists. Leave our "obsessed with celebrity" culture for an afternoon and take the chance to expand... more

This museum has so much to offer to visitors of all ages. Try visit during the week when it is not as crowded. more
