Thought about going back but now the devil's in charge I'll go to Mexico.I really want to make sure I wasn't cursed when I went there so I've been down the couch everyday.

We visited using the City Pass, and entry was smooth and easy. We arrived right at opening time, which helped beat some of the crowds. What we didn’t realize was just how massive this museum is—you definitely need a full day to explore everything properly. We only made it through about half of the exhibits, but every section was fascinating and well worth seeing. One of the highlights was the Butterfly Conservatory, which was a really cool experience. The museum is great for all ages, with tons to see and learn. As someone interested in physics, I was particularly excited for the Big Bang exhibit, but unfortunately, it was a bit disappointing. While the visuals were nice, the presentation felt basic and didn’t go as in-depth as I’d hoped. It’s still a good introduction for those less familiar with the topic, but if you already have a strong interest in physics and cosmology, you might not learn much new. The only downside is that there’s no clear path to follow, so you might find yourself doubling back or getting turned around. I’d recommend grabbing a map and planning ahead, especially if you don’t want to spend the entire day inside. One great perk is that you can leave and re-enter on the same day, which we took advantage of to go out for lunch before continuing our visit. Highly recommend this museum, but be prepared for a lot of walking!

Saw the planetarium show, which was excellent, and so much of the museum but I think you’d need more than one visit to truly see everything you could want. Definite must sees include the amethyst geode, the planetarium, the big whale, and all of the dinos. Food options are pretty typical for museums and nothing super special.
