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.

Great museum, more train than bus related but plenty to see nonetheless. Built in a decommissioned subway station they have vintage rolling stock to board and explore. Plenty of old photos and memorabilia. Recommend if transit is interesting to you.

Excellent museum located in a repurposed subway station. The exhibit is cover most of the bases: history, living history, artifacts, technical exhibits and education, art, poetry, transit vehicle models and modeling, children’s exhibits, and of course, real historic subway equipment open for viewing. The only missing element is the subway’s role in music history in New York and the United States, but they are always developing new exhibits and enhancing the museum.

It’s so amazing to see what the transit was like back in the days, my partner and I enjoyed these experience. Definitely don’t miss the ground floor and I will say because they close at 4pm, try to pick ticket earlier than 3pm especially if you’re like me who love to read almost everything and take pictures.

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!
