Love the American Museum of Natural History.. Taking the kids for a couple of hours, no need to do everything. Pick the exhibits that they would love the most, and make the time count.

When I take my kids to a museum, I love when they are going together from one exhibit to another and talking about what they see. American Museum of Natural History is making it very easy for kids to learn and interact. I'm so happy that they got to learn something on this trip.
