Came here on a solo trip, very informative place, and being able to wander through old subway cars was just amazing
MoreSuch a cool place with old fashioned trains. This museum was the coolest thing when i was younger. It shows you just how different life was back 100 years ago. Such a great place
MoreExcellent museum! Very well done! Love that it’s located in an old subway station. Only $5 for seniors. Love all the old subway cars and history. Saw most of it in an hour and a half.
MoreOne of my favorite museums in the city, this one shows the history of public transit here, especially the subway system. You will learn how it was built and the evolution of the transit cars. Also info on the buses. The museum is in an old subway station in downtown Brooklyn. Great for transit buffs and kids.
MoreGives story of how subway system was built and operated. Is located in old subway station and contains old subway trains from the past. Ironically it is not on active subway lines will take a short 3 block walk to reach from station.
