I ve been to museums all over the world with our family and this was our worst experience. We came there shortly before 11am on Monday. They closed main entrance and we were essentially last in line for really long line outdoors waiting to get through security check. It was mid 30 s and since we lived few blocks from museum and were not dressed super warm - the wait outside was not fun. Then once we got inside - there was a very very long line to ticket counters. The only way to pay as you wish is to wait for three agents processing very very long line (few others were taking care of Citypass and other customers). Several kiosks or online checking would not allow you pay as you wish option. By 12:30pm we were finally inside the museum. Then came crowds and lines everywhere. I think the museum should be appropriately named zoo. Two small cafeterias with huge lines and nowhere to sit. Security guards seemingly randomly making people who stopped in a corner out of everyone s way to take a break move. Narrow exhibit hallways moving at glacial pace because people can t get past each other. Slow moving elevators not optimized for crowds (think lobby full of people waiting but only one elevator running at a time).

The museum itself - especially dinausar exhibit - is actually quite decent BUT the overall experience was excruciating!
