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!

The purchase of tickets is extremely easy. Arriving at the museum the entrance was no problem at all. The museum is excellent... organized, clean, well labeled, with printed maps and through the app. It also has an area to eat and continue exploring.

Good morning, It is totally awesome. It would be an injustice to say that I liked anything more. It takes three additional visits to see more.
