New York is home to some of the most visited museums and attractions in the world. The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) holds the definitive collection of modern and contemporary art, from Van Gogh's Starry Night to Warhol's Campbell's Soup Cans. The American Museum of Natural History spans 45 exhibition halls, including the Rose Center for Earth and Space. The Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum sits on a retired aircraft carrier at Pier 86 with the Space Shuttle Enterprise on its flight deck. The 9/11 Memorial and Museum at ground zero tells the story of the 2001 attacks through artefacts, personal accounts and the memorial pools.
Beyond the headline museums, New York has world-class family attractions. The New York Aquarium at Coney Island, the Bronx Zoo (the largest urban zoo in the US) and the DreamWorks Water Park at American Dream in New Jersey all draw families from across the city.

FAQ
Frequently asked
Quick answers on booking, access and what to expect.
The top museums by visitor numbers and reviews are MoMA (Museum of Modern Art), the American Museum of Natural History, the 9/11 Memorial Museum, the Intrepid Sea Air and Space Museum and the Whitney Museum of American Art. MoMA and AMNH are the two highest-rated on tickadoo.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art has a suggested admission policy for New York residents. MoMA is free on the first Friday evening of each month. Most other museums charge fixed admission. Skip-the-line tickets from tickadoo include guaranteed entry at a specific time, which avoids the box-office queue.
Go City offers an All-Inclusive Pass (unlimited attractions for 1 to 10 days) and an Explorer Pass (choose 2 to 10 attractions). CityPASS covers 5 top attractions at a fixed price. C3 by CityPASS lets you choose any 3. The best value depends on how many days you have and how many attractions you plan to visit.
The American Museum of Natural History is the top pick for families with children of all ages. The New York Aquarium at Coney Island, the Bronx Zoo and the DreamWorks Water Park at American Dream are all popular family days out. The Intrepid Museum also appeals to children, especially the submarine and flight simulator.
Recommended for MoMA (timed entry), the 9/11 Museum (sells out on weekends) and the Intrepid (limited capacity for the submarine tour). AMNH usually has same-day availability but is cheaper when pre-booked. City passes should be purchased before your trip to save the most.
