Insider Tips

  • Follow a Floor Plan, Not a Wander: Start with dinosaurs on the fourth floor, then mammals on the third, then ocean life on the first, since the museum is too large to see without a route.
  • Book Ahead on Busy Days: Ticket lines can run over an hour on weekends and holidays, while early weekday visits see little to no wait.
  • Budget Four to Five Hours: A single afternoon is not enough to see the highlights properly.
  • Join a Free Guided Tour: Docent-led tours run through the day at no extra cost and help you find highlights you might otherwise miss.
  • Confirm the Day’s Hours Before You Go: Private events close sections early with little notice, so check the day’s schedule before you plan your route.
