Arriving at the museum by the end of the day, I dutifully stood in line at the ticket office, calculating how long it would take and how much to pay for the ticket: the recommended $23 or donation. And when she reached the finish line, the museum attendant opened the entrance shouting: "Last hour!" and missed the rest of the queue for free. Before closing, I managed to view quite a lot at a brisk pace, including dinosaurs, primates, birds and animals of different climatic zones, numerous nationalities... I liked the idea of a happy last hour very much, and the next day I made a plan for sightseeing in NYC so that after 16 hours I would be in the museum mile area. Oops, I did it again! I ran through my favorite sections of the exposition and new halls, gaining purely positive emotions and vivid impressions. And although it was not possible to spend the "night at the museum", I was able to see "live" some of the characters of the film, and feel its atmosphere, and touch the richest natural history, and buy original children's things in the Dino museum store. And the museum, during the visit, reminding me that I visited their website, now regularly sends me an invitation to take part in a quiz, then informs me about the opening of thematic exhibitions. It's interesting!
A very interesting museum! I was most impressed by the dinosaur exhibit! I have never seen such a large number of remains of ancient animals.
The film "Night at the Museum" was shot in this museum
And everyone can pay for the entrance as much as they see fit! This is done so that a person with any budget can visit the museum! For us Russians, such care is incredible!
So much for "damn" America, so much for capitalism! We have to learn and learn from them!
A large-scale museum with a huge number of interesting exhibits illustrating the history of the development of life on earth. The majestic skeleton of a tyrannosaurus rex, large-scale dioramas, etonographic halls - all this deserves attention if you have free time in New York.
