The American Museum of Natural History is an unmissable stop on any history buff’s itinerary. The museum is renowned for its scientific collections, apart from its exhibitions. Dinosaur fans will be delighted to know that the museum has the largest collection of dinosaur fossils in the world. Of special interest is the permanent display of the “Titanosaur” – a 122-feet long magnificent beast. When you tire of dinos (if that's possible), move on to learning more about human origin and culture.

If you've already done that, head to the Milstein Hall of Ocean Life to gaze at the 29m-long blue-whale model. Do note that all the exhibitions are wheelchair accessible, making this spot perfect for anybody with special needs. The museum food court promises to satisfy the taste buds of people of all ages, so your whole family can enjoy an educational and entertaining afternoon without the rumbling tummy!
