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?

Our guide was great with kids and showed us everything we wanted to see in the museum. Very knowledgeable about the layout and exhibits.

I booked a last minute tour of the Natural History Museum today. I live in New York and actually work as a tour guide, but in that sort of busy and sometimes monotonous life-style, I rarely have time to actually go visit some of these sites. It was a small private group with only myself and one other family of 3 present. Ideal if you want a thorough and personal experience. Mark was an absolutely wonderful guide and gave us a brilliant tour of such a large, sometimes confusing, and awfully crowded museum. It wouldn't have been such a good experience doing it on ones own. Mark made it perfect by giving us the ideal balance of talking about the history, architecture, and the exhibits of the museum, also focusing on 3 main aspects: the dinosaurs (of course!), the wild life, and the underwater worlds - a great balanced combination. Just enough to make it worth your while and not too much to become and overdose of information. I would definitely recommend booking this tour with Mark, and I will make sure I book one of the Met Museum with him as well. Thank you so much!

Our guide, Mark, did a great job of helping us navigate the museum and gave us a much deeper appreciation of not only the exhibits, but the history of the museum itself as well as New York over the years. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone interested enough to read this review.
