Reviews
"Small, 2 floor museum. Yet, it it full of history and artifacts. If you love firemen, firehouse, and / or firefighting, this is a must. I think all New Yorkers should go. Not expensive to enter. Not an all day thing but worth the trip. Keep your kids on a leash."
"It's worth the visit! It's not a big fancy museum but it was a good addition to our trip. We enjoyed seeing the history of the fire engines."
"See photo which is the QR Code for the Tour. There is a lot of information in this building for such a small space. I took over 100 photos! This is the former FDNY Engine Company Number 30 in a renovated 1904 Fire House. It's sadly not ADA Compliant. You cannot navigate a wheelchair downstairs as the exhibits are very close to each other. I don't think a walker or wheeled walker can navigate the space. If you use a cane and have good agility the downstairs flooring is not an even, smooth surface. But there is an elevator. However you still have to use stairs to access the bathrooms on floor 1 1/2 landing. The stairs are evenly spaced and have a strong railing that was a banister to the 1st Floor. The bathrooms are not unisex. They instruct you to tour the bottom floor then go to floor two. Chronologically you should see the pre and Colonial exhibit on Floor 2 first. The 9-11 room is downstairs and while beautifully done there is a jarring disconnect due to the museum's small size to stop on the subject of music then walk straight into the children's interactive exhibit immediately afterwards. The Museum documents a variety of aspects of life with the predecessor and current FDNY. There are several antique vehicles and currently they have a reproduction on loan from Colonial Williamsburg. The Museum documents Marine Division, Marching Band and even the Emergency Kit for Last Rites in the Catholic Church so a priest just needs to have in person access. Gift shop was well stocked with unisex sizing and there was a substantial gift items for children."
"Great place to visit and not far from the subway. They have several old restored engines and quite a few relics of bygone ages. The Revolutionary War exhibit is excellent. 1-2 hours is how long to budget for this museum."
"This is a very nice museum! The staff is very knowledgeable and very friendly almost like your not in Nee York LOL just kidding. They have amazing artifacts here dating way back. I wished I had planned for a longer stay you need at least 2 hours to see everything."
