Even the gift shop is amazing NYC find! I bought earrings with old tokens in them for my wife while taking my cousins from out of town through the museum. Interesting, historic, and entertaining for both New Yorkers and out of towners.

We spent about 2 hours here. It's a short, easy stroll from Borough Hall subway station (lines 2, 3, 4 and 5). The museum entrance is via an old subway entrance and the exhibits are set out over two floors. The upper floor has exhibits about the construction of NY's subway system, bus and other transport options and other ancillary...

Pretty cool museum - neat to see the history behing the subways and all of the old stuff they had. Seeing all of the old subway cars in a closed station was the highlight. The gift shop was cool too.
Alone or with a family this is a treasure. Plan at least a couple of hours or more to visit this very informative attraction. The history of the Subway is captured in many great old pictures and displays. The presentation is appealing to both young and old. Exhibits are hands on, covering more than just trains. Saturday and Sunday also...

A through visit to the past and present NYC Transit system. Loads of memorabilia for Adults and safe fun for kids
Great fun for all ages - see how the transit system developed & helped New York prosper & grow into what it is today. Lots of great exhibits & yesteryear trains to experience.
It is a good place if you have a hour or two of hours to kill. They have all different subway cars from the 40s onward. Was cheap at $7. It would be good for kids even tho it was not that big.
This place was really cool. I loved all the old trains parked in station. It was a trip to be able to enter and sit in a car from the 40s 50s 60s etc. well worth the 7 bucks!
This museum is so great for toddlers/kids. They loved to see all of the buses and subways! If you are traveling with little ones, it is well worth the visit. We went in winter so it was an awesome indoor activity the kids loved!
I visited this with my adult son, who had been here before and highly recommended it. A great overview of the history of the New York subways and buses. Enjoyed seeing the old turnstyles and mosaics. It takes about 90 minutes to see at a leisurely pace. The gift shop has some unique souvenirs. Definitely worth the $7 fee.
