Pick up the Kids Guide to the American Museum of Natural History and get ready for a museum-wide scavenger hunt through the world’s largest collection of dinosaurs, an impressive array of towering totem poles, and much more.
Don’t miss the Discovery Room, where children ages five to 12 can get a behind-the-scenes look at artifacts, specimens, and scientific research; and the Hayden Planetarium, one of the best planetariums in the country.
Take the B (weekdays only) or C to 81st Street. Unless you already have tickets in-hand, you cannot enter the Museum directly from the subway station. You must exit the station to the street level and walk around to the 81st Street/Rose Center entrance where your tickets will be waiting.
