Home to the largest and arguably most fabulous collection of dinosaur fossils in the world, AMNH’s fourth-floor dino halls have been blowing kids’ minds for decades. The Hall of Biodiversity is another stunner, wth world ecosystems on display. And don't miss the life-size, 100-foot-long model of a blue whale that hangs from the ceiling of the Hall of Ocean Life. There's plenty to see, do and learn.
