New York City: American Museum of Natural History Ticket

Explore all permanent exhibitions as well as the Rose Center for Earth and Space. Wander through over 40 halls to learn about dinosaurs and diamonds, and everything in between.

The new Richard Gilder Center for Science, Education, and Innovation is an incredible addition to the museum, featuring state-of-the-art exhibits and immersive experiences that are perfect for all ages. You can explore the mysteries of the universe in the planetarium, journey through time in the Hall of Biodiversity, and come face-to-face with some of the world's largest and most incredible creatures in the Milstein Hall of Ocean Life.

Look out for the iconic Tyrannosaurus Rex skeleton and Easter Island head that inspired characters in the film "Night at the Museum."
