There are a million cool things to see here. A little bit of art, a little bit of Natural History. A little bit of local history, a section on the Holocaust, a section on 911, and amazing display of Native American longhouses and arts. One of my favorite parts is the collection of mineral specimens. You can easily spend 5 or 6 hours here if you want to look at everything. If you're only going to come for a day make sure you don't miss seeing the Mastodon skeleton. My main complaint though is that they close the museum shop well before 5. We saw them kick out a kid who came in at 4:50 wanting to look around at some of the souvenirs. He cried. This broke my heart and I don't understand why they couldn't just stay open for a few minutes for the family that wanted to look around. Overall I highly recommend.
Free or not, this exhibit is worth the visit. There is so much to sample, like all of the rare rocks and stones of the New York area, preserved animals displayed in their habitat, and documentation on the development of New York City. On the top floor there is a functioning carousel over 100 years old for all ages to enjoy. Hours are easily spent here and exhibits are engaging. Highly recommend.
Hey it's New York you got to check this out aye! Awesome experience can't wait to bring my girlfriend here
A great place to learn about the many different things that make NYS a great place to livè work and retire. Plan on several hours and return trip, especially if you have children or grandchildren. We've spent many wonderful hour there with our children and are not taking their children.
The New York State Museum is a great, free exhibit on the natural history of New York, and its diverse geography. There are changing exhibits that make it worth re-visiting. There is a special display on the 9/11 tragedy. A carousel is located on the Terrace level. The museum is easily accessible by CDTA bus, and there is a parking lot on the east side, as well as a nearby parking garage at Madison and Eagle Street that is open to the public for free on weekends.
