Another gem in NYC - Definitely recommend 👌 We did the planetary experience and walked around the dinosaur exhibit. You could spend hours walking around. We will be back. Another gem in NYC.

BUY VIP - The views were amazing we took so many photos! the number one thing I'd recommend is to buy the V.I.P for about $200 it makes the trip very diverse and is much better

Giant and incredible museum - The museum is huge and has an incredible collection of items from all over the world! The most amazing part, in my opinion, are the almost complete fossils of dinosaurs, the first I had the opportunity to see live. It is worth seeing, but it takes plenty of time to visit quietly.

Impressive!! - We spent half a day in this magnificent museum. Each floor encompasses an era . It passes from Prehistory to the present day. Beautiful experience in the Planetary Room.

Great museum, worth a visit - Huge, interactive museum. An experience that I refer to all those who have the least interest in culture. One tip is: go in time because the museum is very big, we stay 7 hours in there. Another tip is to do the part the activities it offers, I did two and I did not regret.

Wonderful museum, rubbish signage / directions in the queue. - This is an excellent museum, it is one of the very best in the world. There are dozens / hundreds / thousands of reviews online telling you how great the museum is. But - I'll add some negatives / and notes to help others. The outside queuing is chaotic and annoying. We had a buggy, there was a member of staff walking along the line, at no point did he tell us we could have gone down the ramp rather than carried up the steps. Similarly, at no point, until we got to the top of the steps, with our buggy, were we told that there was a different line for people who had already got 10am entry tickets. There was no sign posts indicating either the ramp for people with buggies (or in wheel chairs etc), nor for people who had already bought 10am entry tickets online. Better signage would mean smoother queues and for us in particular less time stood in the unseasonably hot morning sun. Aside from that, the museum is magnificent - although one final minor niggle was that quite a few areas were looking a little unloved, from certain angles the thick layers of dust on the back of the dinosaur skeletons was quite visible.

Cool getaway on a bad day - Very nice to have seen. Some parts are recognizable from the film, but the layout is of course completely different. Be prepared for crowds and sometimes a longer queue, even if you have the NY pass

Different from the movie!!! - Very different from the movie "At night in the museum"!!! For those like me who wanted to see the T-Rex, Roosevelt on the horse, the American and Roman little men, etc., it is disappointing, because there is nothing!!! The museum is fine, with many different areas to see. I recommend using the APP to move around the museum, because the same is large and then there are unseen areas.

When we arrived at the... - When we arrived at the museum we were told our tickets bought through a third party needed to be validated by a counter person so they could give us actual tickets to enter. They did send us to a different line than the ticket line, however, we still had to wait 45 minutes on line to get the Viator tickets validated. This was very disappointing. We bought the tickets ahead of time purposely to avoid having to wait on a line.
