The AMNH houses the world's largest collection of dinosaur skeletons and fossils, with terrifying reptiles of all shapes and sizes displayed across two dedicated exhibition halls located on the fourth floor. In the Hall of Saurischian Dinosaurs, you'll meet stomping, chomping apex predators like T. rex and Allosaurus, as well as smaller hunters like Deinonychus and Velociraptor. You might have seen the movies, but nothing can prepare you for standing toe-to-toe with prehistory's most ferocious carnivores, even if they have been dead for over 65 million years!
In the Hall of Ornithischian Dinosaurs, you'll find gentler giants like Triceratops, Stegosaurus, Corythosaurus, and other humongous herbivores. One unmissable dino highlight is the museum's Titanosaur, a 122-foot-long sauropod from Patagonia in Argentina, which will greet you at the orientation center for the various fossil halls. Cast from one of the biggest dinosaur skeletons ever unearthed, the AMNH Titanosaur is so big that it can't all fit inside the enormous hall, and its head pokes around the door to welcome visitors inside! So it really is unmissable!
