This is definitely the way to go when visiting must-sees, such as the MoMA in NYC. You don't need to worry about long ticket lines at the site, passes come directly to your phone. Purchasing tickets is quick and easy. I did it while waiting for my Uber driver who drove us to the museum. Save time and make sightseeing easier by using headout.com .

My children surprisingly loved the mineral room. It was well structured, and the giant digital screen for creating minerals was the best part. It was unique compared to other museums. The hidden worlds exhibit also left them speechless. Apart from the giant dinosaurs.

I booked tickets directly on the Headout app, which in itself was extremely easy, once at the venue I went to the front desk and they scanned our tickets with no issues at all. The museum itself wasn't my cup of tea I enjoyed some aspects of it but I probably wouldn't reccomed the natural history museum to others. The Headout app however I would recommended for sure! I have a few more ticketed events I've booked through Headout still to do whilst we are in New York for the next week!

Honestly, it was a very simple visit without much interaction. The welcome speech was great, and the view of New York's past in the elevators was also great, but honestly, nothing out of the ordinary. Obviously, the observatory is beautiful, and the views are great. We would have liked more interaction with the views of New York's past, more information, something more entertaining. We found it a bit too simple for the cost.
