Description

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 30 million objects. 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 and General Admission + All ticket type, optional inclusion) Impact: The End of the Age of Dinosaurs: The age of dinosaurs might well have continued to this day, if not for a spectacular event that changed everything. Discover the before-and-after story of the cataclysmic asteroid collision that happened sixty-six million years ago, and the explosion of life that followed. 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. 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!
