Both experiences were very good, easy access to everything. Museum was huge and full, but quite interesting. The zoo is a bit smaller than I expected however it a wonderful and beautiful place, very well maintained and the animals seemed to be well taken cared of,

It was a impromptu trip for me. Got tickets while standing in line at the museum. Easy and fast. Once in, I hit every story, every corridor. Didn't miss a turn. Took me 4 1/2 hrs to complete. Loved everything about it. Bucket list ✔️

I thought that the NHM in London was brilliant, but, AMNH surpasses by a mile. Its the place to head for , so much to see, you need a couple of days to take it all in. Great team, great museum, thanks for making our day so marvelous.

This museum is amazing—you won't be disappointed, from the dinosaur floor to the space exhibits on the lower level. If you're coming to New York, you should definitely check it out. Just go to the ticket counter, have your tickets scanned, and you're all set.
