This is one of the most popular museums in the world, and sits at the top of the list of must-see attractions in New York City. Don't miss it during your internship in New York City. As you wander the halls here, you’ll observe the natural history of the planet, from its birth among the stars to the present age. Established over 125 years ago, this is regarded as one of the largest and most innovative museums of natural history in the world. From the Discovery Center where children can get a hands-on look at the science behind the exhibits of the museum, to one of the most advanced space shows in the world, you’ll find it all. Given the sheer size of the museum and the staggering amount of exhibits inside, you’ll probably need several days to see everything you want explore. The Dinosaur Hall, African Mammals and Rose Center for Earth & Space would be worthy visits in and of themselves. Admission to the museum is free, with a recommend donation, with the exception of The Sky show, IMAX Theater and temporary exhibits, which usually have a fee associated with them. Expect pricey food and gifts given the popularity with tourists. The weekends are usually very crowded; try to visit during the week if you can. After your visit grab a cup of coffee at one of our favorite coffee shops.
