Full description

The American Museum of Natural History is one of the largest museums of its kind in the world, filling several blocks beside Central Park. Its fourth-floor fossil halls hold the famous dinosaur skeletons, the Milstein Hall of Ocean Life is dominated by a life-size model of a blue whale, and the dioramas of North American and African mammals are a century-old New York favourite.

Your general admission ticket covers the permanent halls, including the Rose Center for Earth and Space and the newer Gilder Center with its insectarium and butterfly vivarium where these are included in admission. Use the museum’s free app to plan a route, as it is easy to spend a whole day here.
