Happiness! My bf and I finally made our way here since I'd been wanting to come for a while. It was cold out, but the inside of the station is cozily heated so this is the perfect winter date place. This is a fun, eclectic, warm, informational, conversation-starting, dorky place that will definitely tell you a lot about your date. Highly recommended!
1) There's something to please everyone: run around like a little kid through all of the old train cars, be a nerdy history buff by reading all the informational posters, go through the hands on exhibits, bring the kids to let them run off some energy.
2) Cheap price: $5 is not bad price. I felt it was well worth it for a non-boring, non-snobby museum experience that was very enjoyable.
The exhibits range from the process of building the subway lines (which I found particularly fascinating) in the early twentieth century including real photographs to the large collection of real antique train cars to the triboro bridge system. There was also history of labor relations and working conditions during the period. The fact that you are looking at historical sites and pictures that you actually live in/ride in and see everyday makes this particularly fun.
This is the perfect way to wile away a Saturday or Sunday afternoon in the winter. This is also very easy to get to by subway.

Another reason to move to Brooklyn: The Transit Museum.
I didn't know what to expect, but it was great fun from start to finish. First of all, the fact that the museum is the old Court Street subway stop---super cool, right? You have to go downstairs to enter the museum, and there's even a second level down. The first level starts with the history of the making of the underground subway system, and from there it veers off to talk about pre-subway transport and the development of alternate mass transit forms (bridges, parkways, busses, etc).
There's a second level (lower down) with old subway cars, which people are encouraged to walk through, to get a sense of how the cars have been modified throughout the years. I truly enjoyed the old advertisements in the cars; this is something else that's evolved (though not necessarily improved) over time.
A lot of the exhibit speaks about the immigrant labor and how these men (of all races) worked too long and too hard for too little money. It made me appreciate the subway even more: our grandfathers and great grandfathers toiled to create this, for us. It's the Classic American Immigrant Story---sad, but inspiring.
There's also a whole wing dedicated to Robert Moses, who was responsible for overseeing most of NYC's bridges and Parkways. He definitely deserves it.
The best part of this museum was how hands-on it is. There were lots and lots of kids running around, and I will totally take my kids here when I meet a man to marry and have kids with. That might be a long way off, but I'm sure this museum will still be great, maybe even better.
One more thing: This museum appeals to kids, yes, but it certainly has enough facts to satisfy adults. It is visually exciting for the youths and technically exciting for the adults (though visually exciting for adults, too).
All in all, I really enjoyed my day here. And, since Sahadis and Damascus Bread Bakery are just around the corner I was able to eat well after my visit : )

Take walk back in time to see how the world's undoubted largest and most advanced subway and public transportation system was built. Staff members are somewhat friendly, nothing like their colleagues working the ticket booths in any given NYC subway station. The air conditioning could be a bit better but what we most enjoyed at the NYTM was going into the actual subway station below and walking through some of the original cars which carried New Yorkers in the very, very early 1900s on through the '00s.
The video room showing old grainy video of the building of New York subways and still shots of the era of New York's infrastructural growth is in need of an upgrade; and with all of MTA's billions of dollars, I think they could swing it; still, this is your stop if your an underground enthusiast or just have a love for the history of what makes the Big Apple go!
To be honest, I've never actually been here. But my nephew went during the summer and he couldn't stop talking about the museum. He's eight years old, and while I would never imagine a transit museum to hold the elusive interest of a child, it seemed to have a magic and mystique that makes it alluring to both adults and children.
Great possibility for an NYC winter outing!
Lots of hands-on fun, this is what the, say, Fire Museum should aspire to be. You can read lots of detailed information about the development of the transit system (though nothing about the scandals, graft or strikes), watch videos about how your hard-earned money is collected and routed, and go through vintage turnstiles and sit on lots of vintage train cars.
Wow! So much history in one place. I got to go free yesterday because it was City Walk day or something. This place is so awesome. It has everything about New Yorks transit system all in one subway station. What better place than to have your transit museum in an under ground subway station? I love being able to see all the subway cars of the different eras. One of my favorite exhibits is a subway car 'truck' that shows the AC motors of a subway train which was very cool. Anyhow, if you love learning about how things and people get moved around or love trains in general, this is the place for you. You could easily spend 2 hours here reading about the different items and not even realize how much time has gone by!
This place is really cool. Located in a decommissioned subway station, this museum documents the evolution of the modern marvel that is the NYC subway system...
The upper level takes you through the construction of the lines and the first subway systems in New York, through to things like various control systems over the years, turnstiles, busses, all sorts of stuff...
The track level is packed with cars from various points in time of the system, most of them have era specific advertising in them which just adds to the feeling of walking back in time... there are also "special" cars, like the money cars that used to collect the fare money from each station, and a few locomotive cars for track maintenance and such...
If you visit NYC it's definitely worth coming out here and checking this place out...

One of our favorite museums/attractions in the city! I never looked at the subway the same after visiting this place. You start appreciating the fact that your easy commuting is possible because of so many people in the past as well as today. My favorite part is of course different models of NYC subway trains starting from the beginning of the 20th century. It is fascinating thinking about all those people using subway 100 years ago just as you do today. This museum is full of people's history and each of us is part of it!
I'd been meaning to come to this place forever but I finally made it out there about 6 months ago. If you are reading my review to find out whether or not the MTA museum is worth a visit, you can just stop reading right now and head out there. This place is really really cool! The museum itself is not that big so don't expect to spend the whole day there but they do have some really interesting exhibits explaining the construction of subways, bridges and tunnels. To add to all of this, this place occupies an unused subway station so the atmosphere is neat. By far the coolest part about the museum is the old subway cars sitting on the platform tracks on the lower level. Don't quote me on this, but I believe that they have at least one of each generation of subway cars that have been used by the MTA. All of the cars are open to wander around in and they even have period advertisements inside! I am totally into this type of thing so I really really enjoyed wandering around. The MTA museum is definitely a worthwhile way to spend a rainy afternoon. Trust me, you'll not be disappointed.

We be spendin' most our lives livin' in a railfan's paradise...
I love this place, and it's one of only two reasons for me to ever go to Brooklyn (the other being the dead Coney Island). It is so exciting...I love bridges, so the Triborough exhibit got me quite happy. And then, the best part--- exploring the vintage cars! I love them! The ads are total timepieces: they even degrade communism.
I command you! Go to the transit museum! Appreciate, for just five seconds, what's been getting you where you need to go.

When I first moved to Brooklyn, this place confused the heck out of me. Like a moth attracted to a glowing insect zapper, I was repeatedly lured by the museum's green globe thinking it was an actual subway station. I was confused each time I couldn't get into the station. And late. I grew to hate the transit museum.
But that all changed with my first visit. Wow, what a fantastic museum! I love that it's located in an an actual (former) subway station with a set of train tracks downstairs. One of the coolest things is the period advertisements which remain in the old subway cars -- both product ads and political slogans too.
The museum is a great way to learn NYC history. There's enough text and information hear to keep me occupied for hours although it's a bit overwhelming and i wish they had a better happy medium between the text-heavy informational displays for adults and the overly simplistic interactive displays for children.
Kids and adults will both enjoy this museum. Highly recommended.

Too much fun!
After reading some positive reviews and taking into account the $5 admission, we made the trek not expecting too much. That being said, this museum is really what you make of it.
The first floor provides excellent background information and pictures on the beginnings of the subway system. If this doesn't help you discover a new found appreciation for the subway, you have no heart. I honestly can't imagine us today taking on such a large and life-risking civil project.
Rushing through the history to avoid a couple school groups, we made our way downstairs to the best part. Vintage subway cars from the 1930s on up! We had the place pretty much to ourselves and were thus able to take loads of entertaining photos. The cars were complete with vintage advertisements that kept us enthralled.
Heading back upstairs, we glossed through the bridge exhibit *yawn* and went straight for the buses. Again, more photo opts. Our last source of entertainment were the turnstiles. I had hoped to get a picture jumping the modern turnstile, but alas, I neglected my sprained wrist and nearly landed on my bottom in front of a school group. Still, the other vintage turnstiles were fun to walk through on the way out.
I would definitely do back on a rainy day.

i went to the new york transit museum today after the insistance of my friend, matt. it was definitely worth the trip!
i headed there on an overcast, hot, humid day. the museum is in a "retired" subway station, so probably not the best place to head when it is hot and humid. most of it is not air conditioned.
it was pretty neat. i made it just in time for the tour. the tour took us through how the first subways were built, the history of paying subway fares, how they actually collect all the money out of the subway cars and buses, and then we got to walk and sit in old subway cars. the tour was definitely nice since the guide was informed and interesting, but there seemed to be plenty of signage and documentation around the museum that you could do it on your own.
the museum flowed very nicely. when you enter, it is all about subway construction. you could explode your own set of dynamite, see the tools and many pictures of the construction. it was really interesting to learn about how they built the subways under the east river in the early 1900s. did you know that the subways are actually about 50 feet under the bottom?! they had samples of every subway token/coin as well as samples of just about subway turnstile. the guide took us through the competing subway companies and their eventual merger into a city run single company.
on the lower level, it is the actual subway track. this track is filled with different subway cars; the earliest dates back to 1904. it was cooler down here because they had fans going. you can walk in, sit down and take a little break in the old subway cars. some of the cars are still functional and go out for rides about once a year.
note: the museum is very child friendly. you can touch practically everything!
definitely worth the entrance fee and a great stop if interested in the subways or just want to go to a museum where you can touch and try out everything!

Very cool museum that exhibits how the NYC subway was constructed and future plans. I particularly enjoyed the many former models of subway/rail cars dating back to around 1900, in which you can roam freely in. I recommend!

This museum was pretty cool. It had lots of vintage cars and turnstiles and artifacts from the history of NYC transit. It's also in an old subway station which adds to teh ambiance.
This is a great place to take kids. I have a toddler and she really enjoyed going in all the train cars.
I like trains. Not in the choo choo, model train, basement stinking of lichen way (well kinda) but real moving trains. The best are the ones where you travel long distances and have a romance with a stranger, unfamiliar wilderness passing by the banks of windows in the observation deck as you pour little cocktails from little bottles.
This museum has nothing to do with that kind of train, but the old trains are romantic. Good place for a random adventure and history lesson. And you can make out in real old trains on an abandoned line. Maybe the only reason to dig the MTA.

I'd been looking forward to my trip to the NY transit Museum for quite a while. I'm a bit of a geek and into public transit. I had a hard time finding it at first, it's in an old subway station so you enter just as you would a subway station, I was busy looking for an entrance on the building.
They have an excellent collection of vintage subway cars and do a pretty good job of telling the story of the subway. The exhibit on busses was also pretty interesting. I'll be back to see when they open up a new exhibit.

One of the coolest museums in the city, especially if you're a subway aficionado, and only $5 to get it, oy what a bargin!
If you are one of those who have never ventured to Brooklyn, now you have a reason to go. This also gives you the perfect excuse to explore some of the great places to eat in the area which I find are better and cheaper than any place in Manhattan.
What makes this place even cooler is that its actually an old subway station that was abandoned back in the mid 40's and re-opened as a museum back in the 70's. It's connected to the main subway, the trains powered off the same 3rd rail as the rest of the system.
This is a great place of kids and adults. You can look, touch, and smell the history. You can get a sense of how much has changed and how much it hasn't.
I decided to go to the transit museum since I've been to the major museums in Manhattan and since I heard that it was only $5, a good deal compared to most museums in NYC.
It took me a while to find the museum while I was walking in that vicinity. I had to ask some people until I saw the museum entrance that looked like a real subway entrance!
Overall, I enjoyed the museum. Since I went by myself, I was able to look at each exhibit and it took about two hours. It's a must see for those who are subway, bus transit buffs. It has a lot of interactive exhibits that are kid friendly. I enjoyed walking through those empty subway train cars from the present and yesteryears. It was eerie being alone in the empty subway car because I'm so used to riding on the subway with crowds of people.
As I left the museum and went up the steps to go outside, a stranger went by and asked me what subway line does this station serve. I had to laugh.

I have a friend who works here and that was how I first heard about this place. I'm so glad I did! This is a crucial and important piece of New York's history, and I learned enough about the history of transit in NYC to stop complaining about how much the subways frustrate me (at least for this week)!
The best part is that you walk in via an entrance that looks like a subway entrance! So clever! The $5 fee is not at all steep although there is no student discount (whatevers, even I can afford that!), so don't bother asking.
You're whisked into a semi-interactive display that showcases the history of how they made the tunnels for the subways and the kind of people who put their backs (literally) into the work to blast away rock and rubble. You follow the display to an explanation of the bridges (and now I get why the Triborough Bridge was named such), and then go downstairs to displays of old trains from more than a century ago. That was the best part! Looking at old subway ads, sitting in old cars and looking at the old coloring and seats reminded me of a New York from long long ago.
A really neat museum, although the gift store is a bit gimmicky, it'd be a unique gift for anyone who misses New York I suppose.
toddlers love this place.

Just go and find out for yourself how far back in time it takes you, how much it helps you to understand the birth of NYC, and how enlightened you are when you walk out of there.
The NY Transit Museum is located in a former subway station in Brooklyn and it's a really interesting place (I confess that I'm passionate about transit systems and I've been there several times over the years - but I think anyone would enjoy visiting this museum and they have a real "treasure trove" collection). The museum also offers many interesting tours & lectures throughout the year and their gift shop has lots of neat stuff (they also have a gift shop at Grand Central Terminal).
With the conversion of an old subway station into the museum it is, to the cheap $5 fare, and the interactive, hands-on nature for almost all of the exhibits, I am a fan of the museum, even if the MTA still doesn't win any cool points in my book for their battle ax service cuts. Quick, come to the Museum before they start raising fares here as well!
The museum is as fun and interesting as everyone else has said. Two things that haven't been covered yet:
1. There's EVEN MORE transportation than the awesome NY subway here. I saw a fascinating exhibit on the planning, construction, and use of the Tri-Borough.
2. If you're carrying a Metrocard, you can get two-for-one admission (not posted -- you have to ask).
Have fun!

I'm one of those people that will take ANY opportunity to rag on the MTA, but this place is one of the exceptions to their multitude of failures. Not only is it a museum, but it's actually an old subway station *converted* into a museum. They have everything there regarding NYC Transit history, including some really cool old buses and trains still on their tracks (you know, the red ones with the wicker seats and rampant graffiti).
I remember my first time there as a kid - I was absolutely fascinated by the place, even though my only exposure to trains at length was from Thomas The Tank Engine and Shining Time Station reruns. As an adult I think the museum holds an even more significant charm to it, especially if you have an interest in NYC history in general.
Be warned though, if you're not even remotely intrigued about the MTA's history (and I know plenty of people who aren't), this place may not be for you. It's VERY easy to get bored here, and if old trains don't interest you go ahead and skip the trip. Although I'd still recommend at least bringing your kids here once in their childhood, because the old buses and trains never fail to amuse them.
The gift shop is pretty cool too, if not a bit more expensive than it should be. Though you can probably find the same stuff for cheaper on eBay, unless you're one of those people that believes in supporting the MTA by paying inflated prices. (Like they need it anyway. If they just fired half of their thousands of lawyers, there wouldn't be a deficit in the first place.)

Loved this place.
My dad loves trains and their ilk, and passed a lesser devotion on to me. So when i was tasked with entertaining my father for a day while he was in town, deciding to go here was a no-brainer.
The one thing i'd change is the signs outside. Since the museum is located in an old subway station (genius), it lacks the storefront view, large windows, hanging signs, etc. The only signs i saw were on the railing for the stairs, and thus if you didn't know to be looking near street-level, you ignore them entirely. I'm not sure i ever would have found it on my own, as i ignore subway signage when i'm not looking for a subway. It was my dad, who hasn't been to NY for years, who was able to notice it.
We pretty much ignored the large bus/trolley section of the museum and stuck to the train/subway and bridges. There's a whole fake-tunnel you can walk through reading about the building of the subway, and if you go down to the tracks you can see subway cars from several decades past.
Like Gabriel, i quickly tired of the authentic cane seats, but the ads in the subway cars were often hilarious (did you know 84 out of 100 women prefer men who wear hats?). The signs outside the cars explained some of the differences and changes instituted through the years, and i for one think subway life would be much more interesting if we still had exposed ceiling fans.
So if you're not fascinated by trains, buses, history, to social changes enabled by a large mass-transit system, or turnstyles, this place will bore you to tears. If you think reading about how the subways were actually built, you can probably burn a few hours here and not notice.

I am a transit nerd.
Imagine my glee when I found out I was moving within walking distance to the New York Transit Museum.
The museum itself is a converted subway station, technically still working since the third rail is still operational. You have to go downstairs to enter, like every subway station -- which might lead to some confusion if you don't know where you're going. The concourse levels are the rotating exhibits, from fare collection to art on the subway to public works like bridges and tunnels. There's also a children's education center which hosts events weekly, a screening room which shows a different movie every month or so, and an area entirely devoted to scale replicas of trolleys and cars.
If you, however, are as much a transit nerd as I am, you will head downstairs to the platform level and nerd out on the phased out rolling stock. Trains and cars from the turn of the century sit idly by waiting for you to explore them.
You can even go downstairs and check out the Court Street signal tower, which is still operational (and a clue as to how antiquated the subway system really is).
Back on concourse level they also have a darling souvenir shop, where you can get your new New Yorker mementos of the subway stop with which they will eventually have a love-hate relationship.
Best five dollars I ever spent.

Good lord, it's not located in a building! This thing is an actual non-working SUBWAY STATION!...Holly Cow!!!
After a good 10min of wandering like shlomos I stumbled upon a sign that read "NY Transit Museum." THANK GOD!...I'm not sure if this is something I was supposed to be aware of, or if it is a well known fact that I simply neglected...but I felt like an ass.
Only when I entered did I feel a bit better about the whole thing. Heck, it's pretty cool! The 8+ ancient train cars are awesome and you can wander about as you please. Images of old subway maps and exhibits on the way the subway system was laid out were very informative. And (minus the 30+ boy scouts running around) it was fun!
I felt a bit warm and fuzzy on the inside having learned that people just like me rode the trains a few decades ago. It was like walking through the past.
Definitely go. (and watch out for the old subway station that reads NY Transit Museum)

Cool merchandise to buy at the shop, with designs featuring subway lines or subway maps.
Several years ago, I bought one of these:
"Item#15043 Metrobag Messenger Bag: To make it in NYC, a messenger bag has to be tough! Don't let these fashionable looks fool you, these are made to last! Made of durable, water resistant woven Polyester, they've got a slip-in pocket and zipper pocket inside, a fare card pocket on the outside to make your life easier, and a cell phone pocket on the side. Velcro Closure."
Durable? Tough? Not really. Damn thing broke after a few uses: that plastic strapholder thingy on one side broke off, leaving me with only one side of the strap attached to the bag. Grrr. I had to be all MacGyver and use a carabiner in its place. Worked for the duration of its life, but looked really ghetto.

Perhaps I'm a little biased because I work here, but I think the transit museum is aces. New York's subways, busses, bridges, and tunnels are a lens that reveal much about our city's past, present, and future. On quiet days I like to go downstairs and look at the old advertisements on the old train cars and imagine myself in the days of "Ms. Subway" and 12 cent Campbell's Soup cans.
Aside from the exhibits, the museum also offers tours, nostalgia rides, talks, presentations, and children's workshops.

Being a NYC Subway buff since 3rd grade, I've had my fair share of visits to the Transit Museum. For the uninitiated, this was a real working station in the 1930s. The mezzanine section of the station contains various subway artifacts and exhibits, and the platform level has vintage subway cars. $5 admission is as much as a MTA Express Bus fare, so I believe it is worth it.
So much history of something that millions of people pass through without even thinking about the history of it all. I just wish it had more subway maps, especially during the 1970s - 1980s, when there were the AA, GG, LL, K, Plane To The Train, and odd routings that we haven't seen in decades.
Fun Fact: Down the museum's tunnel is the Hoyt-Schermerhorn Station of the A/C and G lines.

This place is the bestest! I didn't even know New York had a Transit Museum, but as soon as I heard it mentioned on Ugly Betty (and found out it was a real place) I knew I had to go. Luckily, a trip to New York was already planned so I able to go sooner rather than later. And I'm so glad...this might be one of my favorite museums ever!
First of all, I'm a complete public transit nerd, so this place probably has the same appeal to me as a strip club has for a frat boy. Second, I don't like big museums because my senses can be overloaded really quickly, so this was the perfect size. Third, I'm cheap, and this was the least expensive thing I did in New York. 5 dollars! Seriously, I think my pretzel at Penn Station cost more than that.
So yeah, I pretty much think this place is utopia, and when I saw my sister later I harangued her for about an hour because she hasn't taken my three-year-old nephew there yet, and he loves "thubwayths" almost as much as me.

Located in a former subway station in Brooklyn, you enter by walking down a set of steps as you would any subway station. Upon entry, there is a booth where you pay for your museum admission or shop for MTA memorabilia
Admission was a little step given the size of the museum, however, you will soon understand that it must pay for the maintenance with all the running around people do when they encounter the subway cars downstairs. Sorry MTA as I was on a tear to take some funny pictures with your trains as my backdrop.
Great for out of town visitors and you would be amissed to come away not learning how intricate the subway system in New York Metro is.
A great museum for out-of-town visitors and die-hard New Yorkers alike, even ones who don't like museums. There's a lot to see and lots to touch, like the fantastic collection of preserved subway cars (complete with old maps, schedules, and ads) and old turnstiles to walk through.
There's not much in sight for a post-museum drink or bite, but walk 4 blocks south to Cobble Hill and you'll find plenty of cafes, restaurants, and bars on Smith Street.

SUCH A FUN PLACE!
I love trains...I always have since I was a little girl. Maybe because my whole family has worked for the long island railroad at one point...its in my blood!
Theres train cars from every era that you can explore fully equipt with ads from the time period. This place really goes through the entire history of the transit system. Theres great photo ops. I think one of my pictures is actually from there.
They have a great little gift shop thats not really that overpriced like most others. It's definitely an affordable option for a rainy day in brooklyn.

I really underestimated this museum. I thought I would just come here, get the obligatory tourist subway t-shirt, and hightail it out of there. But we stayed, I saw, and I enjoyed.
A quick look at the clientele will reveal -a ton of kids (from a hosted birthday party here), guys, and girls dragged here by their boyfriends. So it might not be for everyone, but I was def impressed -- and I'm not much of a transit buff.
Like Billy said, I too was fascinated by the borough bridge construction exhibit, in addition to all the old subway cars and tunnel exhibits.
