Freshman Seminar Fall 17 DWA

The American Museum of Natural History

One of the places that we had to go to was Academic and to fulfill this requirement a group of us went to The American Museum of Natural History on Columbus Day. Despite the amount of children there, I say we had a good time. I learned about real history things such as what early Camels look like (which are weird), and the history of New York itself. My favorite part though like Alex’s was the biodiversity exhibit where I learned and saw hundreds of different animals, insects, and environments. It was so cool to see the different types of marine animals, which is fascinating because the Earth is composed of 71% water, namely 95% ocean, and we’ve only explored 5% of that. Which is very insane to think about. I also learned about how ridiculous the museum is. The line to get in wasn’t bad but the line inside to get a ticket was an hour wait, but Racquel and I did it. The food is ridiculously overpriced, ($7.35 for dino nuggets and $4 for a bottle of soda) which is where they make their money I guess. If you’re in the museum the whole day be prepared to starve or sneak food in, because it’s not worth the amount of money. Overall though, I had an amazing time learning about so many animals and fossils, and I was able to share it with amazing friends.
