It was an amazing visit . I able to bring one of my friend up to the view deck and her reaction was worth it. She casually mentioned over breakfast that she haven't been back to NYC for years and wants to see more of the city . So I surprised her and bought us tickets for the Edge . Luckily, got a mid morning schedule ( that afternoon we are heading home) . What a fun day.

I had always wanted to make it to the American Museum of Natural History . The walk up to the west side was beautiful through the park. The entrance to the museum was busy, but very efficient with getting crowds through and into exhibit. The entrance with 3 dinosaur skeletons was amazing! The 4 floors are full of jaw dropping information and sights. Even with the crowds very easy to navigate and informative. It's definitely a place you want to explore more than once. I will definitely be back!

Spectacular view from the Golden Edge, highly recommended, I suggest you go with clear skies so you can appreciate it better. Statue of Liberty: I loved the experience only that I considered that this last ticket included the ascent to the statue.
