The American Museum of Natural History captures its audience's attention instantly when you enter its rotunda and come face to face with a gigantic reproduction of a dinosaur. This museum has one of the foremost collections of dinosaur fossils. In addition to the dinosaurs there are stuffed mammals from around the globe, an amazing planetarium, and numerous exhibitions that change frequently. The museum began in 1869 and has maintained a strong presence since them in New York, the United States, and around the globe.
This museum is huge! I would devote at least a couple of hours to seeing the exhibitions and being able to go through one of the feature exhibitions, IMAX shows, or the planetarium. The museum is frequented by families and tourists so there is always a crowd. On a nice day you can sit on the steps and take a break or head across the street to Central Park for a picnic or a walk.
Admission starts at $16 for adults and there are deals available that allow you to see various special exhibits too.
Take the B (weekdays) or C to 81 Street or the 1 to Broadway and West 79th Street.
You can enter on Central Park West and 79th Street or on 81st Street between Central Park West and Columbus Ave.
