AKC Museum of the Dog

Amazing museum dedicated to dogs with some impressive cat photography! There are 3 floors, interactive options and the front reception staff are so helpful! There are free lockers, coat racks, excellent merchandise scope for all price ranges. Great info for adults and activities for kids!

Awesome exhibit plenty of information when it comes to dogs. And the price is really great. I enjoyed my time there. If you are a dog lover you will love this place they have something for cat lovers too like myself.

For the price it is an appropriate sized museum. We went on a meet the breed day and that really sold us the experience. Make sure to go on a day that has a planned "activity". Gift shop left things to be desired. Staff was friendly and helpful. I was a boston terrier.

My wife has been wanting to come here for over a year. And I reluctantly agreed. I was very glad to do it. The two people (young man and older woman) at the front to greet us were exceptionally nice it’s super enthusiastic. It is apparent that they love their job!!

The digital information boards inside that allows you to tour all kinds of species of dogs was amazing and you could get lost in those for hours. The photographs were beautiful and the second floor is much more interesting with historic information as well as super interesting history about dogs.

There was beautiful amount of historic objects, such as sculptures and drawings from all points in history. I was thoroughly impressed. The library is also pretty impressive with the amount of books that it had.

A+++. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Gift shop is well stocked and has a lot of great choices.

This place is so cute!! A must see when you come to nyc! 2 1/2 floors of sculptures and pictures of dogs and cats! There is a kiosk where you can see what dog you are! Also when we were there, there was a akc champion dog named wasabi! it was a great experience to see a akc winning dog! And the price is very reasonable! Love this place!

The museum is very entertaining for kids and for adults. The museum is full of artworks and historical information of dogs throughout time. There are a lot of fun activities for those who are not as interested in art. You can learn facts and history of lots of dog breeds. There's even a kiosk that finds a dog that looks like you. Fun for all ages, they even hold special events on certain days if you check, their calendar.

The museum is so entertaining, it is a shame that it is quite small. Spanning over 2 floors, majority of the museum is artworks and historical information of dogs throughout time. There are also fun activities for those who are not as interested in art. Learn facts and history of current dog breeds. There's even a kiosk that finds a dog that looks like you! Most notable is the scavenger hunt. Fun for all ages, I recommend doing both scavenger hunts! As a tip, make sure you check their calendar as they hold special events on certain days.
