This is a great place to take children and spend a few hours. I’d suggest a stroller, starting in the top floor and working your way down. Dinosaurs and aquatic life is a must. Dioramas are super cool. Many people don’t realize the museum entrance fee is a “suggested donation” and you can essentially “pay what you wish!” So, if you’re looking to experience NYC on a budget, this is up there on the list. The staff is super kind and helpful. The food is decent in the cafeterias. The museum itself is maintained nicely and clean. We really enjoyed our time there.

We chose to visit this museum for my daughter. She is crazy about dinosaurs. We went directly to the dinosaur section and spent ample time there. When we moved to the next exhibit, we were awestruck on seeing the wide range of magnificent displays. Everything was well categorized and organized. We didn't have time to cover everything even after spending 4 hours here. The food was good in the cafeteria but a bit pricey.

This place is magnificent! You can literally spend days here and not be able to see all that is showcased. Meticulously maintained possessing charm and warm character. Thousands and thousands of interesting items and artifacts within well organized displays. I have been here several times and, each time I visit, my expectations are exceeded! Courteous staff. Easy access from the subway and Central Park. Great fast food at the cafes! Be sure to put this on your To Do list when you visit the fabulous city of New York!!

10 stars to this museum. Oh my God! 🤭 is super cool, place is huge, we spent 3 hours inside and we weren’t able to get to know the whole place. Is AMAZING! You’ll find a lot of different stuffs that you won’t even see in the pictures. A great place not just to have fun but you’ll learn a lot about different cultures around the world.

Absolutely extraordinary museum. I could wander there for days. The display on the evolution of wolves and dogs was amazing. Kwakiutl totem poles were also amazing. The planetarium program was the best I’ve seen. I’m eager to come back.
