What To Expect

American Museum of Natural History

The museum’s 33 million objects are spread through 28 different buildings – making a guide indispensable if you want to experience even a fraction of it. You’ll start by learning the museum’s history in the majestic Roosevelt Rotunda where you’ll come face to face with the first of many prehistoric characters on your visit. Moving on, your guide will explain how the dioramas are created as you explore the giant African mammals of the Akeley Hall. The creatures get even bigger as you move towards the dinosaur exhibits featuring some of the most complete collections of dinosaur skeletons anywhere in the world. From the gargantuan Titanosaur to the crowd-favorite T-Rex, even the most serious adult feels like a kid staring up at these beasts. You’ll then move on to hear about the North American Forests, featuring the giant Sequoia, before gaping up at the 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. End your visit with a trip to space, exploring the Cosmic Pathway that details the no fewer than 13 billion years of our universe’s existence. Talk about perspective, right?

Outstanding super informative and engaging tour. Mark is a very knowledgeable and passionate guide who has intimate knowledge of the museum and its contents. We learned so much that you would never get on a self-guided tour and had so much fun as well. Mark assessed our interests and knowledge and tailored his tour accordingly. Spot on. We thought this was a highlight of our visit to Manhattan and would recommend this tour, and particularly Mark, very highly.

My family had a wonderful tour today with our guide Jeffrey. Jeffrey was warm and welcoming and from the start made the whole museum experience easy on a busy day. We skipped past a very long line to get in and Jeffrey explained the history of the museum in great detail. We made our way through many exhibits and Jeffrey gave us behind the scenes details on both the museum and the individual exhibits that we would have missed out on if we explored the museum on our own. Jeffrey's explanations added so much to our understanding and deepened the experience for my whole family. We would have been lost without his guidance and we would not have gotten even a small fraction of the same level of understanding if we went on our own. I highly recommend this tour.

Jonathan’s enthusiasm and appreciation of the AMNH was absolutely contagious. He knew a great deal about the exhibits and presented the information in an engaging, entertaining way. My son (13yo) said it was his favorite part of our whole trip. My only regret is that we wandered The Met on our own.
