5 Must-See Exhibits at New York’s Museum of Natural History — theculturetrip.com

If you were to ask a group of visitors to the AMNH, especially ones with young children, why they came, 99% of them would likely say, “The dinosaurs!” That’s no surprise. The AMNH has the largest collection of dinosaur fossils in the world, and its dinosaur skeletons are the museum’s most popular attraction. As a testament to the popularity of prehistory, dinosaurs meet you as soon as you walk in the front door. The museum’s grand entrance hall is dominated by a massive display of three dinosaur skeletons depicting a scene that might have taken place in western North America during the late Jurassic Period 150 million years ago. The entrance hall exhibit is breathtaking, but most of the paleontology collections are on the fourth floor. For parents taking their little ones to the AMNH, the best idea is to start off there and gradually work your way down.
