NYC American Museum of Natural History Tickets

Get ready for an adventure into the wild! If you're tired of seeing skyscrapers and grand avenues and the hustle and bustle of New York's streets, take a break and enter the American Museum of Natural History. It's a journey of knowledge from the far reaches of space to the depths of the earth. All in one place, next to Central Park, very close to the city centre.

It is true that this museum, one of the most visited in NYC, is quite a large complex. It houses more than 50 exhibitions and throughout its tour you will find up to 35 million pieces. No wonder this museum's collection is considered the largest in the world. Don't worry because thanks to the downloadable audio guide on your mobile phone you'll be able to find out curious facts about everything inside. You won't want to miss it!

First, I'll give you a tip: book your tickets in advance to avoid the queues at the ticket office. You will be grateful that you have saved time to spend exploring the rooms. Let's take a look at some of them:

• Fossils and Dinosaurs Hall: the impressive skeleton of a Tyrannosaurus rex will greet you to remind you who ruled the world millions of years ago.
• Hall of Mammals: here you will see recreations of species such as elephants and lions and others that are now extinct, such as mammoths... Of an eerie realism.
• Hall of Ocean Life: say hello to the largest known animal on Earth, the blue whale. Suspended from the ceiling of this room, this 28-metre reproduction is one of the most impressive in the entire museum.
• Gems and Minerals Rooms : see gemstones from over 135 million years ago and how minerals are used to make jewellery.
• Rose Center for Earth and Space: Astronomy lovers, welcome to space! Discover the beauty of the universe in this room, travelling through the stars and planets in an immersive exhibition.
