Where-To-Go Wednesday - Dinosaurs at the American Museum of Natural History

We were given complimentary tickets to the American Museum of Natural History for review purposes. Any and all opinions expressed here are our own. 


What: Dinosaurs at the American Museum of Natural History 

Where: 200 Central Park W.
             New York, NY

Who: All ages 


The American Museum of Natural History is a dinosaur lover's paradise. There are not one but two large dinosaur halls, the Ornithischian Hall and the Saurischian Hall. Ornithischian dinosaurs have a long pubis bone that extends backward. Saurischian dinosaurs have hands that can grasp and a thumb set off from the other fingers.


There are numerous species of dinosaurs on display in these two halls. Ornithischian dinosaurs include the Corythosarus, the Stegosaurus, and the Tricertops. Saurischian dinosaurs  include the Tyrannosaurus Rex, the Apatosaurus, and the Velociraptor In addition to these two halls, there is also a 122-foot-long Titanosaur poking its head out of the Miriam and Ira D. Wallach Orientation Center.


In total the museum has over 100 specimens including numerous fossils in addition to full dinosaur skeletons on display. However, this is only a small fraction of the museum's complete collection of dinosaur fossils. In fact, it is one of the largest and most important collections in the world.


And that's our view. For more about the American Museum of Natural History, its dinosaur collection, and more, go to www.amnh.org. To purchase timed tickets to visit the museum go to https://tickets.amnh.org
