New York City: American Museum of Natural History Ticket

Enjoy a day of family-friendly activities at the American Museum of Natural History, in New York City. Located just across from Central Park, the museum is home to over 32 million specimens. Benefit from all-day entry. Explore all permanent exhibitions as well as the Rose Center for Earth and Space. Wander through over 40 halls to learn about dinosaurs and diamonds, and everything in between. The new Richard Gilder Center for Science, Education, and Innovation is an incredible addition to the museum, featuring state-of-the-art exhibits and immersive experiences that are perfect for all ages. You can explore the mysteries of the universe in the planetarium, journey through time in the Hall of Biodiversity, and come face-to-face with some of the world's largest and most incredible creatures in the Milstein Hall of Ocean Life. Look out for the iconic Tyrannosaurus Rex skeleton and Easter Island head that inspired characters in the film "Night at the Museum." Connect to the museum's WiFi and download the free Explorer App to your smartphone. The app offers turn-by-turn navigation, behind-the-scenes stories about exhibits, quizzes, and more. See the exhibition highlights at your own pace with the museum's self-guided tours of popular collections. Ticketed Exhibitions (available with General Admission + One ticket type, optional inclusion) Invisible Worlds: Be transported into nature’s hidden realms—from the depths of the ocean to the DNA strands in all living organisms—in Invisible Worlds, a unique experience on view in the Museum’s permanent 360-degree immersive theater. Encounters in the Milky Way: The Museum’s NEW Space Show, narrated by Pedro Pascal, is a time-traveling journey about the cosmic movements that shape our galactic neighborhood. Discover the chance encounters that have shaped our place in the universe. Life at the Limits: Nature’s Superheroes uncovers the remarkable “superpowers” that some extraordinary organisms have evolved to survive and thrive, even under extreme conditions. The Secret World of Elephants explores the evolution of elephants, their political and cultural significance, and inspiring efforts to overcome threats to survival. Giant-Screen Film: The Museum's LeFrak Theater features a 40-foot-high, 66-foot-wide screen and a state-of-the-art digital sound system with nature-inspired films on view. The theater is wheelchair accessible, and captioning devices and audio description devices are available. Davis Family Butterfly Vivarium: Delight in the year-round immersive exhibit and mingle with up to 1,000 free-flying butterflies—and maybe even experience one landing on you!

Obligé de refaire la file d’attente même avec les billets achetés pour obtenir des tickets papier permettant d’entrer dans le musée. Bien pour les enfants mais peu d’intérêt pour les adultes

we really enjoyed the museum, the planetarium was really good and we loved walking around looking at everything. My only gripe is that we booked tickets online but we're still forced to queue in a long line to get the tickets printed to gain access, there should be a way for staff to scan online tickets, especially in this day and age.
