Things to do in New York, United States: The Best Natural History Museums
New York State has it all – booming metropolises, majestic waterfalls, mountains, wine country, chicken wings. Yes, NYC is a magnet for tourists, but an exploration of the rest of the state can be equally thrilling. The Finger Lakes Wine Region is a vision of serene waters, quaint B&Bs, and pretty vineyards. Movie buffs will love Rochester, home of the George Eastman House and one of the world’s most comprehensive film archives. On your way to Niagara Falls, stop in Buffalo to fuel up on spicy wings.

Beautiful location along the St. Lawrence River. The nature displays work on all age levels - kids to adults. Staff are very visible, knowledgeable, and easy to interact with. Didn't do all the many trails out to and along the river as I didn't allow enough time (next time for sure) - spent way more time inside than I thought I would. Spent a lot of time with an interactive audio book of hundreds of birds and their songs - pick a bird, enter the bird's index number, and you hear the bird. Though I went in the Fall, there are activities all year, including snow-shoeing on the trails in Winter. Allow at least an hour inside and if hiking the trails is your option, you could spend 3+ hours easily.

This is one of the greatest museums in the world. It is what all other museums strive to be. The permanent exhibitions are one-of-a-kind, the changing exhibitions are interactive and first class, the Rose Center is a fantastic science museum, and the size of the museum allows for large scale items to be displayed, such as the famous blue whale.

Been wanting to go here for a few years and finally made it happen. We arrived early and I liked the design of the building as well as some of the outside art. We walked in to see a skeleton of a North Atlantic Right Whale which was amazing. We checked out the gift shop which had some nice items ad then walked downstairs and started with the current exhibit on bees. I thought it was a nice exhibit but I was here for dinosaurs. The lay out of the fossils and dinosaurs displays was really done well and I really enjoyed the diversity of fossils on display. If you love paleontology, this is a must do museum that everyone should enjoy. Lot of nice photo ops with the Stegosaurus model and Mastodon skeleton among others. Make the trip
