SCHOOL or ADULT ACCESS Ready to Ride Part 1

Description

Map your route, buy a MetroCard, and role-play various real-world subway scenarios in this introduction to subway travel, all within the safety of our subway station museum. This is not a tour of the Museum; it is a program focused on the skills of safe and independent subway travel.

This is a two-part, two-visit program. We will be in touch after booking the first visit to book the second part of the program. This program is free but requires a $50 deposit for each visit.

Please note that you cannot book more than one Ready to Ride program per time-slot. If you have more than one group to book, please choose separate days.

Offered At

New York Transit Museum

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 only reflect the group tour schedule. Please visit our website for the general public hours.)
