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?

So, this private time that you get in the museum with a guild is so worth it and such a unique experience that it is worth double the price for sure. Please do it and I know you'll have fun.

Review a map of this massive facility to pinpoint your interests. Babylon's guides are knowledgeable and flexible. Without Babylon, we could not possibly have managed in a single day to get all that we did from the Natural History Museum. It overwhelms even the Met. All that stands between a 4 and 5-star rating is that our guide was an hour late. This was due to an exceptional circumstance that I don't think would repeat. While we waited, a genuinely apologetic owner of Babylon was in touch to keep us aware of our guide's ETA. Once he did arrive, we could not have been more pleased with his guidance and attitude.

The museum is HUGE and with my family we wanted to see the most on this tour without wasting time. Jared, our guide, had wonderful historical facts about the museum and the displays. It was great not to have to stare at a map half the time and just follow his lead. We told him what we wanted to see and we were able to see it all and more!
