Love the museum a lot. Very huge and clean, with detailed displays. There are also enough seating areas to take a break before continuing the journey.

I was able to make a reservation in advance, so I was able to enter smoothly. I was able to view the exhibits without having to carry anything because they kept my luggage and coats at the entrance for free. It was a very interesting museum, and the museum shop was also fun. I was also grateful that there was a water station.

I'm glad I made a reservation in advance because I was able to enter easily just by showing the voucher. I had a seat in the rear orchestra, but it was right next to the aisle, so it was fun to see the cast walking by. Even though I don't understand English, the singing, dancing, costumes, and set were wonderful, and I was able to see an authentic musical, so it was a great memory.

I went there at night and the view was amazing. I could see the Empire State Building right in front of me, it was very glittering and I could see it in 360 degrees, it was an unforgettable memory. However, it was very windy and very cold, so you need to be careful about what you wear.

It is well worth visiting. There are many interesting exhibits inside. Even on weekdays, many people suggest that you can go directly to the 4th floor to see the dinosaurs upon arrival😆

The museum is fun for all ages, takes about to 2-3 hrs depending on how fast your browse through. However, if you’re really into it, it could even take up to 5-6 hrs. There’s so much to do there. It could take up the whole day. Definitely, not to be missed. They’ve got great exhibits as it goes without saying. Staff there are friendly and more then willing to help any way they can, so there’s no fear there.
