based on 26530 reviewsStepping into the American Museum of Natural History, my gaze was instantly drawn to the enormous blue whale model—suspended from the dome of the ocean exhibit, it seemed to float like a ghost through humanity's imagination of the deep sea. In the evolutionary biology hall, I touched the tailbone of a Diplodocus fossil; the sandstone's texture seemed to hold the whispers of the Jurassic era. The most intriguing area was the primitive tribe exhibit, where children were using AR devices to simulate hunting beside Inuit elk canoes, the electronic glow and ancient harpoons creating a wondrous interplay within the glass display case. Hiding in a corner of the gem hall to see the amethyst geode, the clusters of crystals glowing softly in the darkness, like a dream from Earth's slumber.

The American Museum of Natural History is a fascinating place filled with incredible exhibits — from towering dinosaur fossils to the stunning blue whale. It’s well-organized, educational, and perfect for all ages. Definitely worth a visit! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Amazing experience, you need the whole day ! So much to see and do !
New York Museum is really wonderful. Fortunately, I came here on Friday and met with a Chinese guide. The only Chinese volunteer visited it every Friday afternoon at 1.30 p.m. for more than two hours, which added a lot of knowledge than I saw. It is worth visiting several times more. It is especially suitable for students who are interested in natural history. It is very happy to see many local pupils visiting it.
The most worth-seeing hall in the Natural History Museum The Gem Hall on the first floor of the New York Museum of Natural History has huge amethysts, various raw stones, and countless polished jewels. The entire exhibition hall is glittering and rich.
American Museum of Natural History: The Temple of Collapsed Time This Victorian maze of 26 buildings holds the heartbeat of the Earth's 4.6 billion years. The skeleton of the Balolong fossil in the central exhibition hall still maintains the posture of assembly in 1897, and its vertebrae joints cast a shadow of the rib arches like a Gothic church in the skylight. The dark matter theater of the Hayden Planetarium is the most shocking. When the projection throws you into the spiral arm of the galaxy, the seat expands slightly and tremors, and suddenly understands that humans are just a brief aggregation of stardust. The blue whale model on the fourth floor hangs in a halo of blue light, this 1:1 replica of the ocean hegemon, allowing all visitors to look up to regain a childlike awe. The most moving details are in the northwest wing. The glass cabinets display 19th-century explorers' field notes, yellowed pages with sketches of sword-toothed tigers, and next to the train ticket of the year - where scientific discovery and adventure blend perfectly. Wednesday evening is recommended, and as the crowd disperses, you will hear whispers of fossils and specimens telling a far more authentic magic than The Museum’s Wonderful Night.
If you have seen "Wonderful Night of Museum", you will surely be familiar with this museum. Yes, many characters, animals, specimens and so on in movies are actually exhibited in this Museum of Natural History of the United States. The statue of Roosevelt riding at the gate will certainly not be missed. As soon as you enter the hall, you can see large dinosaur specimens. The queue for tickets is sometimes quite long, so if you don't want to queue, you can buy tickets online directly. The exhibits are still very wide in scope, including animals from all continents, human culture and so on, and more modern exhibition halls of astronomy. Hayden Planetarium saw a short stereo film about the origin of the Big Bang, which was good. Generally speaking, it is also a museum worth visiting. It is suitable for parent-child tours. Children should like this place very much.
We took Line C to 81st Street and went directly from the subway station to the museum. We offered two yuan for one person. The museum made a lot of money. Dinosaur Hall is a bright spot, including a big dinosaur enough to stimulate. And there's a big mosquito... big... big
