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?

The entire tour from the time we arri e until departure was fantastic. Our guide was Jonathan. I usually do not care to much for museums, but the combination of the museum and the guide made it very interesting. It was a 2.5 hour tour and at first I was thinking it would be WAY to long. However, at the end of the tour I was wishing I would have booked it for longer. Will visit again and will definitely request Johnathan.

All parts. Robin, our guide, was terrific. She picked out museum highlights that were interesting to all in our group (ages 6 to 70).

Private tour was the way to go. Our tour guide, Jeffrey was great. There is a lot to cover in such a large museum and he covered most all in just over 2 hours!
