 New York Metropolitan Museum of Art The Metropolitan museum of Art, located in 5th avenue, is one of the worlds largest art museums in the world. It is the largest art museum in the Western Hemisphere.  On Friday August 12th, I went to the Met museum with my parents. I liked that the museum had a parking garage, and it was next to central park. If you are a New York State resident, the price you pay for tickets are up to you. Since our family lives on Long Island, we only paid 5 dollars. But tickets are usually $30 for adults and $17 for students. Kids under 12 enter for free.

As in June 2022, there are currently three Museum of Ice creams in the United States, located in Austin, Chicago, and New York.

Despite the location, you must book a ticket at museumoficecream.com ahead of time. Tickets are $36 on weekdays and $44 on weekends. From 5:30 pm, tickets cost $49 everyday. Although we went on a Thursday morning, the total cost for my mom and I was around $100. Was the experience worth it? From a 13 year old girl’s point of view, yes, it definitely was. The interior of the museum was simple yet fancy. The walls and floors are painted with different shades of pink, and cute souvenirs fill the entrance. Every part of the museum is a perfect spot for taking pictures. When you start off the tour, a guide ex...
