Explorer is a fantastic free app that can be downloaded on your phone. It's ideal for navigating the American Museum of Natural History when you're unsure of where to go. The app provides a map and detailed directions to all the interesting exhibits, as well as important locations like restrooms and dining areas. Additionally, it recommends exhibits based on your interests and indicates nearby ones. What's more, it supports English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese languages, so language barriers are not a concern as the app adapts to your device's language settings automatically.

The Museum has placed more than 700 Bluetooth devices throughout its 45 unique halls. These devices emit signals that can be detected by your phone if Bluetooth is enabled. By detecting signals from three of these devices simultaneously, your phone can determine your location. However, this process may not always be accurate, particularly in large halls with multiple levels, winding paths, or staircases. Additionally, the strength of the free Wi-Fi at the Museum varies depending on your location within the building.
