Transit Museum

It's my first time going to Brooklyn with people from JCC and going to the New York Transit museum. My mother told me that she went to this exact museum as a child and now I finally get to experience it in the busy streets. Now I won't lie, it was a bit rough parking because we were in traffic, but we were also on a time limit so I did not have time to sit and take it easy. The tour guide was showing us how Transit works and how many models of cars were there in years past. First he showed us the map of where the trains go from here to there. Then he showed us the currency of how we pay for transportation and Transit and to use them for the machines we go through. Third, how we wait for the train to come and pass. The last thing we did is went on the models of the train 🚂🚆 and learn the experience of how people learned what to do while on the train.They were a lot of advertisements did it from the 1910s to the present. And to end the tour we walked all the way back to the entrance when we were right next to the gift shop. That is when I bought two little items that are cheap for me to keep. A keychain that has a bottle open and a button. This was an amazing experience in a city that never sleeps. I might want to come back here for The full experience.

Cannot believe it is only $10 to visit! One of the best transit museums you can enter and is very informative. Spent a while here exploring the old subway carts and reading the advertisements. Shows how people in the past used the transit in New York which is amazing. I wouldn’t hold back coming here as it’s a fantastic day out for all! Cannot wait to return

I love visiting transport museums when I travel and this one is probably one of the best I’ve ever visited. The entrance is like a real subway station entrance and the museum is located in a real station. It is so cool and makes the visit more immersive. The museum part was interesting but the best part is the lower level on the subway platform. Here you can find older subways from each side and different years. You can enter inside all of them and even have a sit if you like. The experience was great and it seems like not so many tourists are aware of this museum. But I recommend every transport and vintage lovers to visit here!

My group and I had a fantastic time at the Transit Museum. It was a wonderful experience, and my favorite part was going downstairs to explore the different train cars from various eras. I especially loved the vintage cars with leather straps and enjoyed viewing the old advertisements from years past. It's a great experience for all ages and even makes for a charming day date! I highly recommend visiting—it’s an experience everyone should try. Admission is only $10 for adults, if I recall correctly.

Been coming here since I was a little kid. Visiting and actually going into the old rolling stock never gets old! And they always periodically swap out new exhibits and trains downstairs. Leave at least 2 hours to really take your time through everything and enjoy. Great date idea too!
