Hayden Planetarium at the American Museum of Natural History

City: New York, NY

Why you should visit: At the Hayden Planetarium — first opened in 1935 — you can watch IMAX shows, check out the special exhibits, or listen to monthly lectures from notable astrophysicists and authors. Plus, Neil deGrasse Tyson is the planetarium's director — geek we love sighting, perhaps?
