Make a visit of it
The Gilder Center opened in 2023 -- the insectarium and butterfly vivarium are stunning and most people still beeline for the dinosaurs. The 4th floor fossil halls are best visited right at opening before school groups arrive.
After: Jacob's Pickles (Southern comfort, $14-22). Amsterdam Ave at 84th. Biscuits the size of your head and a solid beer list.
