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!

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!

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.

What a hidden gem!!  It was a truly fascinating and educational look into the evolution of the NYC subway and trolley systems, complete with vintage subway cars, buses, videos, and memorabilia. The staff were friendly and helpful. The entrance fee was *very* reasonable, and the gift shop was fun. Highly recommend.

My only suggestion is that more visible signage would be helpful. Since the museum is a decommissioned underground subway station, the museum sign just blends in with the station entrance.
