You would be wise to plan your visit to the Museum well so
you concentrate on the exhibits you want to see and don't get
trapped into aimlessly wandering (which is easy to do).

I visited with a grandson and he insisted on reading the entire
text accompanying each of the exhibits in the dinosaur hall. I
remember getting very weary standing around. I think there are
some benches around but all depends on how crowded the Museum is
on a given day.

There are four floors of gallery space and the building is spread over an area
of several city blocks. Inside there are 42 permanent exhibits and several
temporary ones covering everything in creation from the beginning of time to the
present, every discipline of human science: biology, ecology, zoology, geology,
astronomy, and anthropology.

Here is info for those with mobility impairments -- elevators and wheelchairs
are available on a first come, first served basis.

Thanks Rita, I did notice that on their site.

I am thinking about just going to the planetarium instead of spending hours
in the Museum........I think our 4 year old might enjoy a quick in and out
experience instead of getting bored.

By now I'm fairly certain that the original post was a troll, and not a
bad that one at that, but on the offhand chance that he's serious, he
might want to consider taking taxis. He'd pay far less in cab fare than
he would to park, and he'd probably end up walking less.

Correction: The Cyclone. The Cyclone Racer was in Long Beach, abut
2800 miles away. Sorry.


I remember that! It was at a seedy pre-Disneyland amusement park called
"The Pike". Would be interesting to find out what became of that, as
well as "P.O.P" (Pacific Ocean Park), another SoCal amusement park in
the '50's.

I would not refer to NuPike as "seedy". The Cyclone Racer was one of
the best 'coasters ever built.

Also at NuPike was an enormous double Ferris wheel that was one of the
greatest thrill rides ever!

The Queen Mary and Spruce Goose are now where NuPike was.

HiBoy, at the Santa Monica Pier aka Pacific Ocean Park, was also an
excellent ride. A sad little group of rides is now at that location.

Hello Eric...............I am not a troll!........I don't even know what
gave you that impression! No one has really suggested using cabs, but it
certainly would be a good option to minimize the walking. The problem is
that we are family of 5.......

Can you not tell from my posts that we are obviously staying in Atlantic
City and want to visit up and down the east coast a bit? I'm sure you saw
my other posting for Ocean City, Wildwood and Cape May as well, right?

I was thinking about returning home from Coney Island around 7 at night, so
isn't that after Rush hour?

No, I would say it is not after rush hour.
