CoupleVerified booking2 weeks ago4/5Buying through the website was very convenient, but picking up the ticket at the Natural History Museum was not. We had to get in the same line as people buying tickets. We didn't think it was worth it. Unlike MoMA, where there was already a QR code. Both museums are incredible. I recommend visiting them.DDoritha B

FamilyVerified bookingSep 20265/5Visiting the Museum of Natural History in NY has been a lifelong dream of mine. Mainly because of my profession, I am a biologist, but now there is one more reason: I am a grandmother, and sharing this experience with my grandson and daughter is a wonderful thing for me. I hope to return again, but with my husband.AAndrea D
GroupVerified bookingSep 20265/5A very beautiful and well-organized experience. The ticket for the One World Observatory allowed us to skip the box office line and gain quick entry. The view of New York from above is spectacular and absolutely worth a visit. The combination with tickets for the American Museum of Natural History was also very convenient. An excellent solution for visiting two of New York's main attractions while saving time and easily organizing the visits. Recommended experience!
