Super fast service, and the staff was totally friendly and helpful. We were lost and asked someone on the street for directions; to our surprise, she was an employee there! She took her time and led us straight to the doors, and she wasn't even working—she did it in her free time. Even though it was cloudy, the view was a very lovely experience, and the interactive light section before reaching the platform is incredibly beautiful and fun. I recommend it 100 out of 100.

Buying 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.

It would be nice if we would not have to convert the tickets- the whole point of purchasing tickets online is to avoid the line...
