ElectriCity Exhibit Lights Up the New York Transit Museum
Submitted by Amy S. on
I love taking my preschoolers to the New York Transit Museum in Brooklyn. It's a great destination for families with train-and-bus obsessed kids (aren't they all?) with fun exhibits, informative displays and—most importantly for the under-five set—buses you can pretend to drive.
Even if you've been using the New York Transit Museum as your rainy day play spot for years, there's a new reason to visit: the institution's first major exhibit in over a decade, ElectriCity: Powering New York's Rails. The large interactive installation takes up about 2,000 square feet of the mezzanine, and will be on view through the end of 2016 (just in case you like to plan ahead). My kids and I went to check it out and found it really engaging. In fact, it was so cool, even my two-and-a-half-year-old agreed to put off driving that old-time bus for a half hour!
