This tour will help you explore history, art, and nature by combining these two incredible museums.

A lunch break follows the tour of The Met.

After lunch, head over to marvel at a few of the 33 million objects housed in the American Museum of Natural History covering all of Earth’s history.

Your guide will help you understand how the dioramas ( a miniature setup that includes 3D figures) are made as you explore the giant African mammals in Akeley Hall.

Move on to the dinosaur exhibits next, where you’ll explore some of the world’s complete collections of dinosaur skeletons.

From the gargantuan Titanosaur to the more familiar T-Rex, you’ll feel like a kid again as you admire them.

Finally, stop at the Rose Center for Earth and Space to face the mysteries of the universe.
