This NYC attraction is the most popular business of all time on Yelp

This museum is as timeless as its artifacts.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art recently ranked number one on a countdown of the 20 most popular US businesses of all time on Yelp.

The review site released the lofty list to celebrate its 20th birthday next month, rating businesses based on total volume, ratings of reviews and photos, and other factors.

Despite Yelp’s focus on hot bars and restaurants, this 150-year-old Big Apple Attraction was far and away the highest-rated, garnering a whopping 3,551 reviews since the site’s inception.

The Met also boasts an enviable 4.7 out of 5 stars on average (no word on whether the score was impacted by the controversial F-word exhibit last fall).

Yelp described the museum as a “favorite among Yelp users for its stunning exhibits and breathtaking architecture.”

“Reviewers rave about the beautifully curated galleries and often highlight the friendly and knowledgeable staff,” they added.

The Met wasn’t the only Gotham landmark to make the list. Clocking in fourth was the Central Park Conservancy with 2,742 reviews and a stellar 5 out of 5 star rating on average.

“Central Park Conservancy is a favorite for its lush landscapes, iconic landmarks, and serene atmosphere,” the site wrote. “Yelp users love the well-maintained trails and picturesque spots for picnics.”

Meanwhile, the lion’s share of popular attractions were located in California.

Balboa Park in San Diego (2nd place), The Getty Center in Los Angeles (3rd) and the Huntington in San Marino (5th) topped the list.
