What To Expect

American Museum of Natural History

The 33 million objects housed in the museum cover basically all of Earth’s history, so you’ll be lucky to have a knowledgeable guide break it all down for you. Begin with the museum itself as you learn about its story in the majestic Roosevelt Rotunda where you’ll meet the first of many prehistoric creatures on your visit. Your guide will reveal how the dioramas are made as you explore the giant African mammals of the Akeley Hall. Then move towards the dinosaur exhibits where you’ll explore some of the most complete collections of dinosaur skeletons in the world. From the gargantuan Titanosaur to the more familiar T-Rex, you’ll feel like a kid again as you learn their stories. You’ll then move on to hear about the North American Forests, featuring the giant Sequoia, before gazing up at the giant Blue Whale hanging overhead in the Hall of Ocean Life. Visit some American mammals as you learn about the National Parks of the United States. Finally, blast off beyond our orbit in the Rose Center for Earth and Space to feel unbelievably insignificant facing the mysteries of the cosmos. Where else in New York can you feel like you’ve traveled through time and space without leaving the Upper West Side?

We enjoyed all the Highlights of the Museum and our Guide informed us with all the details. And we didn’t wait for the entrance.

Mark, our tour guide, was excellent. He was able to get us into the museum bypassing a long, long line of others. He knew which exhibit we wanted to see first and was familiar enough with the museum layout that he was able to take us directly to it. We were essentially the only ones at that exhibit for a while and Mark was not only very knowledgeable about it but made it very interesting with facts we were not aware of. We then moved on to the next exhibit where the crowd had grown to normal. Mark was again able to provide a lot of interesting information and continued to do so in a enjoyable and articulate manner. One of the things we particularly appreciated was that he listened to our requests without hesitation. All in all, this was an excellent experience, well worth the expense, and one that I would highly recommend to anyone who can afford it.
