Manda ShettletonFebrero 24, 2013Absolutely worth your day and your $7. Tons of trains (I mean a ton), interactive exhibits, and history. Will keep all ages entertained for hours. In a decommissioned subway station. BYO lunch area!
Noah KochAgosto 25, 2013The museum is in abandoned subway station right across from the MTA HQ in Brooklyn. Come during a cool day as a majority of the museum is not air conditioned. Kids and Adults will enjoy this.
kirbyJulio 24, 2014Take a nap on the basket weave seats in a 1930s subway car. Be disappointed there is no graffiti inside the 1980s subway car. Bring a sack lunch and be sure to check out the kids' art work!
- ElisaFebrero 24, 2019Huge museum, well worth the admission. Check out old subway cars from the early 1900s, and historic transit maps. Tends to attract a children crowd.
Aaron BatchelderAgosto 4, 2016The old cars are the best. They did a nice job with the adverts in each to reflect the times. Totally worth the $7. I'd say this is a definite underrated museum in New York.
Teachers College Student AffairsJulio 1, 2013Custodian of the most extensive collection of urban transportation materials in the United States, this museum has free guided tours and lectures for families, history buffs, and everyone in between.
Daniel RubimMayo 21, 2016Awesome museum, an old decommissioned station with everything from old school subways system. Don't miss the store, lots of cool gifts like hilarious old etiquette signs
TiffanyMarzo 21, 2016Underground museum that explores the New York transit system throughout the times. Great for kids and groups. Defs go down the stairs and look at all the old subway cars.- Fodor's TravelSeptiembre 9, 2015Original advertising, signage, and upholstery make this feel like a trip back in time. The gift shop carries subway-line socks, decorative tile reproductions, and other fun stuff. Leer más
Chris R (thechristophe)Diciembre 23, 2014Great lil museum for killing some time, more kid orientated and more "displays to read" than anything else. Highlight is the old subway station downstairs with retro subway train stock.
MikeNoviembre 2, 2018Everyone who comes here will have a great time, kids and adults. What makes this a great museum is the fact that it’s an old subway station. Extremely interesting and repeat visits never get old!
Marie La RueDiciembre 11, 2023Great museum on the history of the transit system. Collection of old train cars is immersive and impressive. Engaging activity for kids. Fun gift shop too.
J CrowleyDiciembre 9, 2014For less than $10 you can walk through all the old subway cars. Loved looking at all the old advertisements.
- Sweet BoyNoviembre 28, 2013If you like trains it's worth the trip. The museum is near the downtown area of Brooklyn- an area being gentrified in The last few years. Transit museum offers many neat photo ops.
RyanEnero 3, 2020The New York Transit Museum is fantastic! You will learn a bit about how the subway/tunnels were developed to support MTA’s subway system and the history from its beginnings!
RAgosto 23, 2014A fun visit. Gets warm and stuffy in the first half of the visit. The trains are the main treat/event and are fun to walk through. The advertisements are really cool dating back to the 19x0s.- eric bornemannJulio 22, 2020So many train cars and exhibits for kids to explore. Really neat history of the city as told thru transportation. Can be hot in the summer as tracks aren’t air conditioned.

Daniel McDonoughFebrero 14, 2015This is a fantastic museum. For only $7 you can tour subway cars from before the 20's thru current trains. Housed in the old Court St. station. Great for families.
Jeff ByrnesNoviembre 30, 2018Be sure to go downstairs to the platform & check out the old train cars! You can even step into a signal “tower”, hiding behind the stairs, and watch real trains’ signals on nearby tracks.
Matthew HuieMarzo 22, 2016A highly enjoyable museum! Get inside by taking the stairs down into the old Court Street station.
Kim ManisMayo 23, 2014One of the coolest museums in NYC. It's in an old subway stop and they've got all the old subway cars and buses.
Daniel SalinasFebrero 19, 2016What a fantastic museum. It occupies an old subway station (Court St) and you can walk through over 100 years of subway cars downstairs.
Roger SchonfeldDiciembre 9, 2012Highly recommended both for the exhibits - interesting for adults but many child-friendly too - as well as the amazing vintage subway cars that you can explore.
Urban OysterMarzo 25, 2011The museum originally opened as a temporary exhibition during the 1976 bicentennial celebrations, but it was so popular that the MTA decided to make it a permanent fixture.
Alexander KostSeptiembre 29, 2017Very interactive, interesting and has all the cool stuff in there. The actual museum was built in a real former subway station.- Damon SununtnasukMarzo 12, 2017Really great history of NY transit with an entire platform of old trains dating back to the 1800's
Adele BlancoFebrero 3, 2015So much fun for a 2 year old with a train obsession and really interesting for adults . It's cold in there in the winter!!
Vee BeeDiciembre 1, 2013Be warned, there's no cafe or coffee shop here (crisis!). Bringing your own refreshments is encouraged, tables are provided. Oh, there is a water fountain. 😒- Time Out New YorkOctubre 31, 2011The best New York-focused museum is housed in a decommissioned subway station.

Ms HeleneDiciembre 14, 2015$7 entry for historical artifacts and information on New York's transit system from the beginning to the present day
Geoffroy BablonAbril 22, 2013Be sure to check out the exhibit on laying down the first subway tracks, and imagine what it felt like working in compressed air tunnels under the east river!
- Time Out New YorkJunio 28, 2013Before it housed transportation artifacts, this institution was a functioning IND stop. Built in 1936, it was part of a three-block shuttle to Hoyt-Schermerhorn, but was decommissioned in 1946. Leer más
