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 reflect the group tour schedule (Wed-Sat) and the Birthday Experience schedule (Sat-Sun). Please visit our website for the general public hours.
