I took my 4-year old niece to the American Museum of Natural History and she had a great time.
She absolutely loved the museum. She learned a lot. She especially enjoyed looking, learning and reading about the animals in the African Collection.
Enlightened by her new findings, she insist on nominating going to this museum when creating her weekend ""What To Do"" list.
We went back a few times and now she names the animals without reading or having me help her (sometimes she would peek at the writings and say, ""I know what that animal is Aunty"".)
Her reading has improved and it is a delight when she names some of the animals that I am not familiar with.
Pros: pay what you want, to get in., educational and fun
Cons: , in certain areas., suggested admission
