Due to planning issues on my side, I did not have a chance to see anything except the show in the planetarium. The show 'Worlds beyond earth' was highly disappointing. I have been to multiple shows in the Planetarium in Bengaluru, India that have always captivated me. There is a nice intro into the topic and then very highly interesting information narrated in the form of a story. The information is explained in a manner that people of all ages, different education levels would easily understand. The Hayden show was just a few images and videos and facts put together in no specific order. And it focused only on some planets in the Solar System, nothing beyond. I lost interest in the very first few minutes.
From our entire trip to new York, seeing the planetarium presentation was my son's favorite memory. I definitely recommend it for anyone of any age who's even slightly interested in space and the solar system. It really is impressive. I was expecting blurry outdated video accompanied by a lecture, but it's sharp and entertaining (and educational!)
Massive screen with surround sound that describes our solar system in a well narrated documentary. It's a must if you have never been to this planetarium.
This is the best place to go for Enjoyable Education, second only to the Smithsonian in Washington, DC. It is disappointing that the Management succumbed to irrational & unrealistic pressure from those that would ignore the significance of Historical masterpieces, and felt compelled to remove Teddy Roosevelt's Statue without considering the overall Membership attitude toward that situation. I was a BIG Contributing Member, but canceled it after they did that. Regardless of the Administration's shortcomings, the Museum and the helpful, pleasant and professional Boots-on-the-Ground Staff are wonderful! Check out the new Mignone Hall of Gems and Minerals!
A fantastic planetarium. We've always seen great shows here. Today's was breathtaking, a tour of the planets of the solar system with excellent graphics and real science. Comfortable seats and friendly staff
The only downside is poor signage to the entrance - if you end up at the other entrance on floor 2 there are no signs directing you to the right place. Make sure you go to floor 3.

What an incredible set up they have here, everything is so well organized and labeled. It’s so easy to come in here and get your mind blown by all the amazing exhibits. Definitely on top of my list for things to visit again real soon!! Even more perfect for kids, they’ll love it!
Located within the American museum of natural history, this place is a myst Vista. Rich history painstakingly rebuilt to give the current and future generations a peek into the American history. Brilliant true life representation of flora, fauna, people, geography, terrain, climates, culture etc. The entry is free, the contribution is voluntary but the people there kind of coerce you to contribute. The place has parking facilities which is a boon in Central New York.
