New York Transit Museum

"A great museum about the full transit history of New York. It’s includes information about the original tram system, buses, and the construction of the subway system. Biggest highlight is the functioning subway underneath the central area that includes old subway cars from 1907 to the modern day, with the original advertisements still in place. Only costs $10 per person so is very cheap and well worth it!"

"The museum is underground and part of an actual subway, they have out of commission train cars from a hundred years ago that you can walk through and sit in. Many many different models. Lots of interactive exhibits you can walk through, touch, and sit in. Lots of information on the walls for those who are curious. There were many families with young children here, seems to be a great experience for little kids. They have lots of places for parking your stroller."

"The New York Transit Museum offers a captivating journey through the city's transportation history. Housed in a decommissioned subway station, the museum beautifully preserves the evolution of New York's transit system. Exhibits showcase vintage subway cars, buses, and fascinating artifacts, providing a nostalgic glimpse into the past. Engaging displays and interactive features make it an educational experience for visitors of all ages. The museum's commitment to preserving and celebrating the legacy of urban transportation in New York City makes it a must-visit destination for both locals and tourists."

"The transit museum is really nice. You can see the process of creating the subways and they touch on how the workers were often taken from poor communities, mistreated, and the conditions they worked in. They have the old turnstiles and the old tokens, and the old trains you can walk in and read the advertisements from years ago! İt might say you only need 1.5-2 hours, but if you really want to experience everything it's easily a day. The gift shop is what i was hoping would be the best part, but i liked the trains the most. You can really feel like it's the 20's or 40's or 70's when you go in. Highly recommend."
