Description
60 -MINUTE TOUR
Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten only
Introduce young learners (age 3-6) to the history of public transportation during an immersive and hands-on tour.

Students will establish a preliminary understanding of public transportation while having tactile and sensory encounters with history through exploration of our vintage train collection and subway station-turned-museum.

Important Note:
We have updated our group rates, tour size, and added additional time slots.
The New York Transit Museum is dedicated to telling and preserving the stories of mass transportation – extraordinary engineering feats, workers who labored in the tunnels over 100 years ago, communities that were drastically transformed, and the ever-evolving technology, design, and ridership of a system that runs 24 hours a day, every day of the year.
Opening hours reflect the group tour schedule (Wed-Sat) and the Birthday Experience schedule (Sat-Sun). Please visit our website for the general public hours.
