Nine year old me, school-bussed in twice a year from West Nyack on field trips would have GONE NUTS for ANY OF THIS back in the late-70’s!! I STILL loved this Museum back then, but, MAN HAS IT CHANGED!!

[@Tofog22000]

What a great addition to NYC! Thanks for posting.

[@bonniepwtf]

Thanks for sharing this Jon.

[@justthetruth2662]

OMG your lil boy is so handsome with a great smile....Sending peace n luv to the 3 of you...Great vid Jon

[@oltlghfan2008]

I always visit the Natural History Museum every so many years. Brings a lot of good childhood memories. I did hear about this new place opening and hopefully can check it out this summer. 😁

[@Alamomax]

Thanks for checking this out, i miss these things about NYC

[@brucerosner3547]

The design screams Antoni Gaudí, the great Spanish architect.

[@HereBeBarr]

Totally agree

[@dreamsinthree]

Looks great! Thanks for posting.

[@viadharmawheel]

Yes Gaudi look for sure. Thanks for the heads up as I have a reason to return.

[@theyorker]

I will say that the fact that they made the insect section so incredibly interesting for something you can see at the local park... i stood looking at the insects walking for what seems like a while... BEAUTIFUL architect work also

[@douggray169]

Great video. Looks amazing

[@Moncriefs]

Yesss. Another reason to go back to NYC this Summer😁😁

[@polemius01]

Great video! Thanks!

[@maril1379]

Always interesting thumbs up

[@mrmartywaring]

Sheesh!! This is amazing!

[@probaserdinguli-bengalivlo6599]

Thanks for this wonderful recommendation.This is my first visit to NYC and the first attraction I visited this one and 2nd is Summit 😊😊

[@dontworryitsdi]

thank u! visiting next week with my son, i was on the fence about the extra charge for the vivarium but now im sold!

[@aliciapozzo9947]

wow, looks amazing.

[@lee6198]

Wow. This looks really good. I plan to go in a couple of weeks. Havent been to any museums since pandemic except once in January ( The Met... I Missed it so much) Cant wait for the Insect area. It looks so awesome. I teach Pre K and we are on our Butterfly/Insect unit. The immersive area looks really good too. Im going to show this video to my kids tomorrow. Theyll be begging their parents to go! LOL Thanks for the info!

[@carlk6669]

Nice! I live mere steps away, so this looks like a great place to go when friends or family visit.

[@bonnymoore8336]

I'm definitely going here, thanks for the suggestion.

[@apray359]

Going for my birthday in July, cant wait!!!!

[@2Wheels_NYC]

That architecture was stunning... One cound make an afternoon relaxing in that atrium! But, that immersive experience looks incredible!

[@HereBeBarr]

Thanks my friend. Stay tuned for our video next week :)

[@DanaDane559]

HEY thanks for another good video, Jon! I am making my return trek in about a week & was reviewing your videos for a little guidance. I'm not a big museum person, so will probably skip this one in favor of Highline, Rockefeller Center, a hike through central park & a hike to the top of the Statue of Liberty! Thank you, though. I hope to run into you in my travels, and who knows? Maybe I can give you some tips for a travel to California tour video! Hollywood, Disneyland, San Diego, Tijuana, here you & Team Adriana come!! Oh yah....plus 1.

[@RoadTripTravel]

Wow, looks really cool!

[@jamesp6832]

Hi from New Zealand, We arrived in New York on Monday, haven't been here but went to museum of Broadway. Awesome. We're here until next Thursday, so might go here as well.

[@kazie4553]

That looks crazy

[@MrQbenDanny]

It's a masterpiece.

[@Seline-mk2wn]

Today we had our school field trip to this place and it was to me worth it, there was sm cool things! I think I might go there for my summer break

[@sharlenegay5946]

Great video as always how is ben doing?

[@stevenlaput9496]

Wow! what an amazing place……

[@optical_ideas]

Looks very interesting. But I think i might be most interested in butterflies and the worlds immersive experience

[@HellsKitchenMichelle]

I love the vivarium

[@JoseFlores-kl6jm]

Hi Jon ! Even though I'm not a fan of insects I'm open minded, so I would love to check out this new attraction in NYC.

[@DanaDane559]

You're not alone, Jose. I freak at large winged insects! So that's a pass for me.

[@Qiubenjamin]

Museum looks amazing, Factor looks worth a try too!

[@HereBeBarr]

👌🏻👌🏻

[@chrisjackowski591]

Hey Barr and chat, what are new places to visit in nyc this Memorial Day weekend? I’m going there tomorrow.

[@MarkFromHawaii]

We were there in the beginning of April but I don’t think the new wing was open yet. Regardless, we had a great time and maybe got to see about 1/4 of the museum. Wish we could have visited the next day. Tip: Go to the side entrance; less wait time.

[@pictureperfectluis]

Love the new addition

[@HereBeBarr]

Thanks for the inspo.

[@Alphamikee609]

Omg did I just see Shilohinnyc 😃

[@lisamoncrieff5512]

Love love love your videos!! Thank you for all you do for your fans! Can you please give us an update on Ben?? I love him and I'm sure lots of others, not just me, are concerned about him.... xoxox

[@HereBeBarr]

Check the community tab on my channel for a Ben update!

[@lisamoncrieff5512]

@@HereBeBarr thanks so much 🙂

[@tamilareed329]

Hey Jon, not to toot our horn, but our Public Museum in Milwaukee has a Butterfly exhubit too where you can stand anongst all the butterflies in rheir exhibit. We also gave a live insects exhibit too. In case you're ever in the area. 😉

[@patricksanders858]

Damn! I got physically triggered by that mosquito buzz! Literally waved my hands around!

[@user-uk5te6hf5q]

how much time would you say it takes to see the museum?

[@AntonWongVideo]

Insectarium sound a little icky and a little cool! The PERFECT combo lol also, the atrium kinda reminds me of that time I tried to make merengue haha

[@HereBeBarr]

hahha

[@asslast2892]

first, love ur vids

[@valentinakren8816]

2nd me too native New Yorker here

[@asslast2892]

[@maril1379]

Watched with friend thumb up

[@joncarroll2040]

This looks really cool, but does the entrance interfere with the atrium entrance from Central Park West with the free-Standing barosaurus skeleton where the equestrian statue was recently removed?

[@ritacarapito6762]

Hi John! Thank you so much for the amazing video! I just have a question, don't know if you can clarify it. How do I buy additional tickets for the Davis Family Butterfly Vivarium and the Invisible Worlds immersive experience? Is it in the day I go? Because I already have a City Pass that includes general admission... Thank you once again! :)

[@HereBeBarr]

Not sure w city passes. Visit their website. I know you can add it day you buy

[@doctor3264]

Nice video, b nice to know how much the extra admissions are

[@HereBeBarr]

It depends on your ticket if Nj ny ct resident or not. Why I didn’t list it

[@Anonymous-ud6yk]

Do u have any videos on the Hamptons

[@pilarmajan1984]

Can we visit just the atrium without a ticket? I'd love to visit it!! thanks, amazing video @HereBeBarr

[@HereBeBarr]

Hmmm i'm not sure.. I think you can't, but maybe if you wait in line and walk in you can see it?

[@ivysilvias0412]

Wow! Wish I could go there.

[@madilyn6850]

kinda reminds me of the city museum in st. louis

[@Maotou8]

One of the biggest attractions in NYC is Jon ❤! And yes it’s worth it!!

[@homerb3368]

@Maotou Totally agree 😂😅😊

[@jacksoncrunch7378]

Would love to go to new york one day and if I do I would 100% go there and also keep up the videos you are an amazing youtuber and should not stop

[@ClareB78]

I'd love to hear your thoughts on Rise NY - is it worth the price? It seems to be similar in terms of the immersive experince.

[@HereBeBarr]

I don't think comparable. This is one of the premiere science/learning centers in the USA. That's very touristy, but could be fun for kids of course.

[@TheBingBuzz]

Another date idea!

[@HereBeBarr]

Be a cool one

[@kevintillack1396]

I wonder how it compares to the frost museum in maimi

[@jhonatangiraldo884]

how much time do you recommend me to stay there as a single traveler? Science lover btw :)

[@AmbroseChamberpot]

atrium looks like it's from the Land Of The Lost tv series

[@HereBeBarr]

It's very cool.

[@Mike-wt7jq]

The science finally is telling us to make up for all the fun you missed during the COVID-19 pandemic.

[@kanakapono]

Awesome tour! As members of TMNH does this cost extra?

[@HereBeBarr]

Not sure 🤔 have to check your benefits

[@user-ps3gn4jc1j]

I watch all your videos from Bangladesh 🇧🇩 Who is your camera man ?

[@ilyaLNYC]

As a New Yorker: Guggenheim inspired, extra charges, really more to know about insects? 😂 Otherwise nice new spot 😀

[@AngelPee91]

What's the best time to schedule a visit?

[@michaelj.weinstein4016]

Nice video but why are you wispering? Can the butterflies hear you?

[@seanconnors9912]

I really would like to bring Lucy to this museum

[@MikeGoldstein-ip6wv]

Oh my God where is Dr. Zaius and Taylor. Do they have the Statue of Liberty buried on the Beach?

[@homerb3368]

@Mike Goldstein Whoa, does anybody remember this great movie?😂😅😊

[@cerebrumexcrement]

wow. that looks like a giant cave.

[@user-eh9fz9cx6j]

I am from Thailand , Do you like Thailand ? Welcome to Bangkok Thailand

[@mohammedsadiq4327]

It is at 81 street museum of natural history right?

[@HereBeBarr]

Yes

[@AL-pu7ux]

Incredible - makes so many other museums look like a joke.

[@saulgoodman2018]

6:42 that was just weird.

[@HereBeBarr]

lol the electric slide/cupid shuffle?

[@saratexas5181]

Atrium and insectarium were fantastic for all ages! Invisible Worlds was disappointing to me and not worth the $6 unless you have young kids.

[@stevesig]

It looks like the set of planet o the apes

[@visittavee7773]

Every things will be charged.

[@Seline-mk2wn]

Another comment: I didn’t go to the glider center but I went somewhere else

[@kungshih3881]

公石

[@marjensales6405]

wheres da pizza?

[@HereBeBarr]

not in this one haha.

[@homerb3368]

@Marjen Sales At Bleecker Street Pizza 😅😂😊

[@celebrityrog]

Id love to go if everything wasnt an admission PLUS PAY PER ATTRACTION. My god is science and education only for the rich?

[@vailewalders1395]

Eeeeeeeek Insect exhibit NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, I went to a butterfly exhibit at the gardens near me, staff examine your person in a little vestibule before leaving to make sure no hitch hikers

[@MaxR.]

Sorry but charging additionally for everything is just ridiculous

[@knlei1]

Hottest? i doubt it

[@r.d.9399]

I can't visit NYC with my family until they get crime and the crazy protesters under control.

[@donaldobrien9171]

fake pseudo experience of nature, like Disneyland's castle or Las Vegas' fake Europe. try going behind the museum to Central Park. Bah, humbug!

[@HereBeBarr]

i wouldn't compare this to Vegas or Disneyland. This is one of the top science museums in the world.

[@minor1822]

It finally opened? Was just at the museum a couple months ago.

[@zurcfamily]

Thank you for helping me find my new buckets...🪣🪣🪣🪣🪣👍
