Can you pay 10 dollars to get into the American Museum of Natural History in New York City?

Answer 1

The Suggested General Admission price is $16 for adults, $9 for kids 2 to 12, and $12 for seniors and students with ID. You can make whatever contribution you see as appropriate to enter the museum (though you'll have to pay full price for planetarium shows, etc.)

Note that it is not actually an admission fee, but a "suggested donation." In other words, there is no set admission fee. You pay what you want to pay. Technically, I think you could give them a penny, and they would have to let you in. My friend and I went once and we were so broke, we gave them two dollars each. The suggested donation for students (which we were at the time) is twelve dollars each.

I mean, you shouldn't abuse the suggested donation thing, but don't feel like you HAVE to pay sixteen dollars each if you really can't afford it. This is also true at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Fifth Avenue. I have been told that, at both these museums, the signs that are written in non-English languages are deliberately translated to say "admission fee" instead of "suggested donation." In other words, it's a little scam they run on tourists. I don't know if this is actually true or not. But if the sign DOES, in fact, say "admission fee" in your native language, then don't be fooled.

However, as it says in the Related Link, if you do choose to buy tickets online, you WILL have to pay the full price for entrance.

Answer 3

Yes. There is no set admission price. Instead of an admission fee, there is a "Suggested Donation." The Suggested General Admission is $16 for adults, $9 for kids 2 to 12, and $12 for seniors and students with ID.

"Suggested Donation" means you pay what you want to pay. Technically, I think you could give them a penny, and they would have to let you in.

You shouldn't abuse the suggested donation thing, but, you can just pay whatever you can afford.

This is also true at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Fifth Avenue.
