Explorer - AMNH NYC App Reviews

The app is useful, but back it up with a physical map of the museum, if youre taking kids and trying to avoid emptying your wallet at every gift shop. The app gives you directions to the exhibits.... But in structured steps so you cant see your whole route, and only later realize you went the longest most foolish way possible, structured to make you pass through every gift shop in the museum unnecessarily. Also, app relies on Bluetooth.... Which doesnt work at all, in the exhibits you have no service in, like the ocean hall.

By far my most favorite feature of this app is the indoor turn by turn directions. It makes an otherwise stressful visit (trying to figure out how to get where you want to go) a very enjoyable one.

This app is utterly useless.

We used this app during our visit and it was awesome! It is user friendly and was very helpful. Every museum needs to have this! It made our visit memorable.

With images & fun facts, this app exceeded my expectations.

If you are planning on visiting the American Museum of Natural History, you should download this app. Point by point navigation to all your favorite exhibits (even the bathrooms and cafes). Interactive features for the kids and suggestions if you have no idea where to start. If youve been here before, you know this museum can be daunting; so explorer is like a little guidebook right on your phone. Ps. You can also buy tickets on the app and bypass those long tourist lines; its a win/win.
