Showing 1-10 of 1,071 reviews Natalie_W, Oct 2022 Great day out - museum is fab and so much to see there really enjoyed I brought my husband for us birthday LisaPaley, Oct 2022 Had a very nice day at the museum of natural history. Went to exhibits I hadn’t been to before. Nice experience. Terrible experience: wait time and overcharged Katie_V, Oct 2022 This was awful. The age ranges were incorrect compared to the museum website so I was overcharged by $24 for one of my children. Couldn’t cancel and zero refund options available even within a minute of buying. And had to wait 30+ minutes at the ticket counter when I arrived. Also didn’t include shark exhibit which typically comes with general admission. Do NOT recommend. Jennifer_M, Oct 2022 The shear volume of artifacts was mind blowing. If I lived in the city I would need a membership, and a monthly plan of concentrating on one floor at a time. Robin_L, Oct 2022 South American and minerals exhibits. Dinosaurs also. Impressed with the size of thee museum. Prices of food was outragous Fantastic museum, regular ticket would be enough. Jorge_M, Oct 2022 Fantastic experience. Museum is more than worth to see! I have to say that we did not need to buy the full access picture, the regular ticket is more than enough. Antonia_M, Oct 2022 Impossible to see everything in one day. A great collection of history, nature, space. Highly recommend the planetarium, deep sea, gem, and dinosaur exhibits. Plan to spend minimum a day in the museum Arun_T, Oct 2022 Best for kids who is curious, otherwise also this will create curiosity. Great for dinosaur loving kids . It has depth of displays on each topic. One of the best museums . It's a must visit. Museum Day with my Bae. 🦖 🐲 Jan_G, Sep 2022 Had a fascinating visit. Loved every floor. It changed so much. I was excited all over again just like I was 10. Thank you. Everyone was super inviting and helpful. I recommend this trip over and over. 10 stars 🌟 Kelvin_G, Sep 2022 Not with booking via this service.
