Special tours next month:

Family Friday: On February 22 at 5:45 PM, we’re offering one of our “Family Fridays”: One Friday of every month, we offer a museum tour just for families with kids age 7-13. In February, we’re offering “Griffins, Goblets, and Gold: Pajama Party!” our wizarding tour in the Met–with a twist. This time, we’re exploring the museum by night. Bring along  your wands and potions, your spellbooks and parchment. Hogwarts-inspired costumes or pajamas encouraged! Advance registration required.

Here Be Dragons: An Interactive Museum Scavenger Hunt

We’re launching something new! We’ve redefined the scavenger hunt to make it more scavenger-y, more interactive, and more..fun. Join us as we celebrate the new movie Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald with “Here Be Dragons” our new two-part, activity-laden scavenger hunt. Part one launches in the American Museum of Natural History. (Part two will be in the Met at a later date.) This tour will initially be offered Sundays at 2:30 PM, and by request. Please allow two hours for your adventure.

Drawing from the menageries of creatures in both Fantastic Beasts and the upcoming sequel, the hunt will allow  participants to explore galleries throughout the museum as they answer questions, solve clues, engage in creative activities, and track down the origins of some of the creatures from both the Fantastic Beasts stories as well as some other classic myths and tales. Grab your nifflers and join us! Advance registration required; all ticket sales are final
