The museum itself is very worthwhile. It is a very interesting experience, both for children and adults. Perhaps the downside is that we had to wait in line at the entrance, between 15 - 20 minutes) but otherwise everything was great. It is a place to recommend and repeat, no doubt.

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!
