Features & Capabilities

Explorer, the AMNH NYC Museum's free mobile app, provides a dynamic map, turn-by-turn directions to exhibits and amenities, and personalized recommendations for what to see. The app supports English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese and automatically uses your device language.

Explorer also helps you find restrooms, shops, exits, and other facilities, and offers behind-the-scenes videos and quizzes to learn about exhibits. It uses Bluetooth beacons for indoor positioning and varies with Wi‑Fi strength, so you might see slight location differences; moving to another area or waiting a moment usually helps. Feedback is welcome at explorer@amnh.org.

User Reviews

Users praise Explorer's real-time indoor mapping, turn-by-turn navigation, and exhibit information, including facilities and kid-friendly features. However, reviews repeatedly flag reliability problems: inconsistent location accuracy and navigation, heavy battery usage with Bluetooth, and privacy concerns. Stability issues like crashes and login/linking problems, plus unreliable search, also appear. Overall, it offers strong navigation capabilities, but performance and reliability improvements are needed.

Pros

Real-time indoor location tracking on an indoor map.
Indoor turn-by-turn navigation across floors to exhibits.
Comprehensive exhibit information and practical guidance (bathrooms, water fountains) plus kid-friendly features.
Intuitive, easy-to-use interface.

Cons

Location accuracy is inconsistent (located outside the building or directs to wrong places).
Significant battery drain due to continuous Bluetooth/location usage and privacy concerns about location tracking.
Stability issues: crashes or difficulty opening the app and problems with linking tickets/membership.
Exhibit search sometimes returns no results or is unreliable.

Recent reviews

This is one of the best museum navigation apps I’ve ever seen. It seamlessly navigates across floors, has great location tracking, and is very easy to use.

I never write app reviews, but I am for this one because I loved it so much!! I had friends in town with their toddler and this app was incredible for navigating the museum! We were able to hit all the exhibits we wanted to see and any time we needed a water fountain or restroom this app directed us there perfectly! I love that it live tracks your location so you always know exactly where you are! This is a must download if you are planning a visit!
