    What can you really say about interactive art!? Well I'll tell you! It's so cool!! Being able to…read morefinally go to a museum where you can touch and draw and just be immersed in the experience of art is so much fun! The Arte is actually a really great exhibit. I've been to one that has the slightest edge on the Arte but only because the Arte is actually quite small in comparison. I do wish they had a few more rooms for you to go in especially for it being in NY you would think it would be overwhelmingly huge but nope. We bought the cafe experience with our tickets and it honestly was a little blah. It's only $5 so I won't take away a star for that but the tables had interactive art on them so that was a bonus. The cons are once you enter the cafe you can't go back through that's it! Tour over! So make sure you do all the things before you get there! I do give it a 5 out of 5 because it's still really cool and fun to just go have the experience!

    An 'OK' experience. I don't think it's as immersive as it's made out to be, but is midly…read moreinteresting nonetheless. You go from room to room, and the rooms are big enough so that even when there's a lot of people there's still plenty of room. The rooms are also dark and mirrored, and I saw a couple people hit the wall. If you're into Instagram and whatnot, you'll love this place. Otherwise this place is pretty meh. The price could also stand to be half of what it is.

    It isn't very often that I walk into a space and have my breath taken away. This was my experience,…read morehaving walked into the Metropolitan Museum of art in New York City for my very first time. I found the ticket purchasing and overall check-in process very smooth. I happened to go on a very busy day, so it was crowded, but nothing that distracted from my actual experience. There aren't very many words to describe the abundance of international treasures on display. And the amount of history you learn while walking around is truly overwhelming. My favorite sections are the Egyptian and Greek and Roman wings of the museum. I saw many famous piece there that I previously saw in textbooks. As far as some of the cafés there offer really basic American fair, but with a fresh twist. Because it was so close to the lunar new year when I visited, there were special lychee drink s available for purchase. This museum is enormous and really needs a dedicated 5 to 6 hours to truly enjoy it so don't pack in too many other museum visits on the same day. I made that mistake.

    There isn't much more I can add to the already gushing reviews about this place…read more It is incredible? Yes Is it overwhelming? Yes Does it require multiple visits? Yes Is it one of the most impressive museums in the US? Yes Does it compare to places like the Louvre? On this side of the pond, yes Do you have any recommendations? Yes Hit one to two sections of the museum hard. The Egyptian exhibit is incredibly impressive and warrants several hours in itself. The collection of global art is also extensive, so hit up one or two regions of the world on top of that. After that, come back another time. This museum is so rich in content you could return 4-5 times before you can say that you have fully been to the Met. I appreciated their collection of American and European art - especially the art from the Impressionist era. Will I be back? Yes, many times. Enjoy your visit!

It tends to be a lot busier and buzzier, so if you prefer a quieter experience, you may want to avoid. the frick is such an interesting piece of history and a really special museum - it's much smaller than the MET or MOMA but packs in a lot of beautiful works, and the more intimate "home-style" setting was all the more interesting to experience. would love to come back again!

The Frick Collection/Museum is a nice, albeit unspectacular experience. It's on a smaller scale than other ones I've done, taking about 1 hour to do. For the size, it seemed a little overpriced ($30), and the staff seemed disorganized getting our tour group through the check-in process. This is also the only museum/gallery I've been to that didn't allow pictures to be taken of the works and/or in the galleries. It can get a little congested, and there is staff in each room, almost stink-eying you as you look at the pieces, and standing there like Secret Service Agents. It was a little off-putting. Because it's also technically a mansion/house, most of the pieces don't have information displayed, and you have to download the app/audio guide to know what you're looking at. Overall, this is probably a 3.5-3.75, but you know the drill with Yelp and half/quarter stars. Normally, I'd round up, but in this case, I'm rounding down due to the staff. While not rude, the check-in process could've and should've been more organized, and the staff eye-balling people looking at the works wasn't something that projects a welcoming environment. I understand the security issue(s), but don't be so robotic.

There were so many interactive elements and we all loved the confetti room. You're also given a QR code where you can scan it and get copies at the end (after purchasing them). The location in Soho is fun, with so many great shops and restaurants nearby. The hit of the place was the ball pool at the end (again, similar to the sprinkle pool at the Museum of Ice Cream). My kids spent hours here. The ball pool kindof smelled like poop. Not gonna lie, it was definitely a stinky spot. There was a sign nearby that explained the balls were disinfected by some type of filtration system. Okay! Regardless of the poop smell, we all had a great time! And used lots of hand sanitizer afterwards.

They get you through quick if you have a ticket. The art is amazing. I love seeing pieces I've only seen my entire life in books and documentaries. The layout is great. It's probably one of the better popular museums in this regard. I don't feel rushed or as if I have to skip exhibits due to traffic. I learn something new every visit. One day I'll like to try a tour if available. This museum understands accommodations as well. I have trouble with blood sugar regulation that can have a sudden onset. Sometimes it's a battle explaining this at museums that don't allow outside food because they think I'm just trying to skirt the rules. I've never had an issue at MOMA. I usually just tell the person checking my ticket. Not once have I had an issue with security or anyone. They must communicate with one another.

    Date of visit: April 14, 2026…read more The Met's hipper cousin, The Museum of Modern Art is a New York institution, from its expansive collection to its vast and varied gift shop. If you've not been, it's definitely interesting, though your interpretation of art will likely determine just how much time you spend here. Speaking of the gift shop, there's an amazing number of things to see there, at a variety of price points, so if you're looking for a souvenir to bring back home or a gift for an upcoming event/occasion, there is a little something for everyone here. In terms of the art, again, variety is the spice of life, but it may be best to come up with a plan of attack first. The galleries themselves can be a bit labyrinthy (I know it's not a word, but it really fits here) and it's easy to miss things. Recommend going up to the top floor and working your way down, too.

    4/24/26: The Met Cloisters is a must see when in NYC!…read more It's been ages since my last visit. The Cloisters overlooks the Hudson River. It officially opened in 1938. The museum is dedicated to medieval art and architecture. The Cloisters itself is a stunning building. Our first Tour Guide took us around the wonderful medieval statues and gardens. She explained thoroughly about all the herbs and plants that are culinary and for their medicinal purposes. Our second tour guide Valerie was excellent for the "Highlights of the Met Cloisters. A major museum highlight is the Unicorn Tapestry Room (Permanent Display). These 7 tapestries were created approximately 500 years ago. (The Narrative: The Unicorn series tells a story ranging from the hunt's start and the unicorn at a fountain to its defense, capture, and, finally, the famous "Unicorn in Captivity" image). The museum does have a café (The Trie Cafe) on the premises. It's very good for a quick bite along with garden view seating. Museum times as follows: Sunday through Tuesday 10 AM - 5 PM Wednesday- Closed Thursday-Saturday 10 AM- 5 AM. It's best to arrive at the Cloisters upon opening. During the first tour, it wasn't too crowded, but the second tour was extremely crowded. The Met Cloisters is located at 99 Margaret Corbin Drive Fort Tryon Park, New York City, NY 10040. Highly recommend visiting the stunning Met Cloisters.

    I hadn't been to the Met Cloisters in almost 20 years, but I finally made a return visit this past…read moreweekend. It's as wonderful as I remembered. The Cloisters is a museum in Fort Tryon Park, governed by the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It specializes in European medieval art and architecture, and its buildings are centered around four cloisters --the Cuxa, Saint-Guilhem, Bonnefont, and Trie-sur-Baïse. The museum was designed to evoke medieval European monastic life, making it a very special place. It houses about 5,000 works of European art and architecture (doors, arches, columns) mostly dating from the 12th through 15th centuries. Perhaps its most famous works are the Unicorn Tapestries. When I visited this past weekend, it was quite crowded. And it's easy to see why. The museum is gorgeous and peaceful. Plenty of people were reading or journaling or relaxing in the sunlight in the Trie Cloister (I found a little nook and read my book for a bit as well). Many more were relaxing in the Bonnefont Cloister. Inside the museum was crowded as well - lots of people were enjoying a spring day at the Cloisters. I distinctly remember the last time I was at the Cloisters, and it was a cool, foggy day. I think I almost prefer the Cloisters then - it's less crowded and you really feel like you could be walking around a medieval monastery where the cloisters are under a blanket of fog or if it's drizzling. Whatever the weather, the Cloisters is a unique museum. A ticket to the Met gets you into the Cloisters on the same day as well (and vice versa), so you can make a full day of the Met art by spending time at both. It's accessible by subway (A to 190th St or 1 to Dyckman Street), so don't miss this special place in NYC.
