Transit Museum

This museum is super cool and is great for all ages. I walked up to the location, thinking the museum was inside a building. But, to my amazement, it is actually downstairs in the train station. The museum has two levels, where the lower level has all the vintage train cars that were in operation up until the 2000s. It is great to see old photos and memorabilia from when the subway system was first built. The place looks well maintained and kept up to date with the changes in recent years. The fee for admission is reasonable at $10, and there was no wait to get in, even though the museum was conducting several tours for class trips. As soon as you walk in on the left side, they have a great gift shop that can be quite expensive. They also have several bathrooms and a water fountain on the first level. I definitely recommend checking this place out as it really brings back such great memories for an older person such as myself, and kids will really enjoy some of the interactive features.

Such an awesome museum! Very informative exhibition and the vintage trains are just such a treat, even for someone who's not particularly interested in trains. Love the fact that it's in an actual subway station. So cool.

This museum is underground, build in an actual subway station, fun & for all ages! Love the vintage feeling! You’ll learn the history and how the New York transit system has changed over the years. There is two leves, on the first level you’ll find artifacts, photos, signs & a lot of interesting things from over 100 years ago. Is so interesting to see how they started building the subway tracks, how was everything back in the day and how everything looks now. Cute little gift shop has a lot of nice things. On the second level you’ll find old train cars very well maintained from different years. Also, love seeing all the different advertisement, it was really cool! I highly recommend! The staff are nice, friendly & helpful!

We had such a great time. I went because my son is obsessed with mta trains. I had no idea how much fun I would have. Adults and kids alike were enjoying themselves. The vintage trains on the lower floor (if you have a stroller you cannot go to the lower level with it) but it's worth it. The trains were beautiful and the workers were smiling and helpful as well.

Great place to visit with family (especially with younger kids) and friends. There’s lot to learn about NYC metro, transit systems. There are exemplary buses where kids can experience what is it like being a bus driver and train operator. There are various types of train cars from different eras of NYC transportation that show evolution of MTA train system. Admission is very reasonably priced and they even offer discounts if you have New York City public library account. Highly recommend visiting this public transportation museum.
