American Museum of Natural History

A $16.00 value, included in the New York Explorer Pass!

If you’ve seen A Night at the Museum, you already understand the appeal of this world-class and world-famous attraction. If you haven’t, believe us, it’s an amazing place! Bring the whole family, because visitors of all ages will find something to intrigue them, whether it’s the Alaskan Brown Bear diorama, the 563 carat Star of India sapphire, or a skullcap of Pachycephalasasurus – a plant-eating dinosaur that lived 65 million years ago!

The American Museum of Natural History is one of the largest museums in the world. Founded in 1869, this museum is most famous for its collection of dinosaur fossils and Milstein Hall of Ocean Life, which features a 94-foot whale model.

Other permanent exhibits include the Gottesman Hall of Planet Earth (featuring a world-class geological exhibit),the Arthur Ross Hall of Meteorites, a collection of rare and iridescent opals, and the Anne and Bernard Spitzer Hall of Human Origins- an incredible walk through the evidence that supports theories about the evolution of mankind.

Some of these include: “Brain: The Inside Story”, an investigative look into the brain’s constant development and key role in the sensory process; “The Butterfly Conservatory”, featuring 500 live specimens; “Journey to the Stars”, a new Space Show narrated by Whoopi Goldberg; “Body and Spirit: Tibetan Medical Drawings”; “On Feathered Wings: Birds in Flight”; and “Highway of an Empire: The Great Inca Road”.

When you’ve completed your totally educational and interactive learning experience (be sure to plan a good chunk of time to explore the many exhibits), stop by one of the museum’s theme shops, including the American Museum of Natural History’s flagship store, “The Museum Shop”. If you work up an appetite, a variety of dining options are available to suit all budgets, ranging from the Museum Food Court (great for families) to Café on One, which serves gourmet adult fare.
