Is the American Museum of Natural History worth it?

You asked, and we answered! We’re now selling discounted tickets to one of the most beloved museums in New York – the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH). Residents in this community live in such close proximity to New York City, one of the largest cultural meccas in the world, and can affordably take advantage of this with our help!

The discounted tickets to AMNH cost $10 each (same price for adults, children, students, and seniors) and provide admission to the Museum, plus one temporary exhibition, Le Frak Theater film, Space Show, or Seasonal Live Animal Exhibit (normal admission for this level ticket is $28 for adults, $22.50 for students and seniors, and $16.50 for children ages 2 – 12). Emma Clark Library cardholders may purchase the tickets using cash or check (made out to Emma S. Clark Memorial Library) at the Circulation Desk, and tickets are non-refundable. Families may purchase up to four tickets per month.

The combination of the Museum and the Library can lead to new discoveries and knowledge for both young and old alike. We’re thrilled to bring this benefit to Three Village!

These discounted tickets are an extension of the Library’s Museum Pass program, which includes free admission to over 20 museums and cultural institutions throughout Long Island and New York City. For more information on the museum pass program, visit emmaclark.org/museum-passes.
