What To Expect

American Museum of Natural History
The 33 million objects housed in the museum cover basically all of Earth’s history, so you’ll be lucky to have a knowledgeable guide break it all down for you. Begin with the museum itself as you learn about its story in the majestic Roosevelt Rotunda where you’ll meet the first of many prehistoric creatures on your visit. Your guide will reveal how the dioramas are made as you explore the giant African mammals of the Akeley Hall. 

Then move towards the dinosaur exhibits where you’ll explore some of the most complete collections of dinosaur skeletons in the world. From the gargantuan Titanosaur to the more familiar T-Rex, you’ll feel like a kid again as you learn their stories. You’ll then move on to hear about the North American Forests, featuring the giant Sequoia, before gazing up at the giant Blue Whale hanging overhead in the Hall of Ocean Life. Visit some American mammals as you learn about the National Parks of the United States. Finally, blast off beyond our orbit in the Rose Center for Earth and Space to feel unbelievably insignificant facing the mysteries of the cosmos. Where else in New York can you feel like you’ve traveled through time and space without leaving the Upper West Side?

Outstanding private tour with Guide Mark

Outstanding tour with Mark. He was so knowledgeable and entertaining, and kept all five of us (parents and children aged 15, 11 and 9) captivated. A must-do private tour when visiting NYC.
Great tour

Mark was enthusiastic and informative. He obviously loves the Museum of Natural History and his passion helped bring it to life for me, my wife, and my 9 and 13 year old sons.

Myself, wife, 13-year-old, and 2.5 year old were taken around by Jeff. I find that when you go yourself, you miss so much, Jeff was excellent and gave us a great overview and understanding of the museum , particularly how the exhibition was created and the history behind it. As a guide, he was excellent, polite, and happy to take questions. Even with a young child, it proved a hit.
Mark V is the best. Great tour. Worth every penny.

Amazing museum and Mark made my granddaughter's introduction to it memorable. He is a gifted guide. Not a bad photographer either.
