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?

My husband is the natural history wonk in our family -- and Matt handled all his questions -- (probably more of a challenge then little kids). I went along for the fun of it and came back filled with more appreciation for our ever-changing earth. Great time! And WELL SPENT!!!

Mark was great. He supplied much info about the museum, it's buildings and it's exhibits. By allowing us to ask whatever we wanted he customized the tour to our wants. He supplied the basic info we needed and quickly followed our questions to the areas we wanted to learn more about. He was very professional and showed us some of his great personality. I highly recommend this tour. If he was able to handle my numerous questions and deal with my sense of humor, I'm sure he will satisfy you.

We toured the Museum of Natural History with Mark V. He was so knowledgeable, informative and enthusiastic about this tour. He told us a story that made each exhibit compelling. Really brought to life each display. He was patient and knew how to handle younger children on the tour.
