New York Transit Museum in Brooklyn Heights: Hands-on Fun with Trains and Buses for NYC Kids
Submitted by Sarah G on
It had been a while since we posted about the New York Transit Museum and since we're highlighting Brooklyn Heights this month, it seemed like a great time for a return visit. The Transit Museum is one of the neighborhood's biggest attractions for kids, especially the train-obsessed ones. Housed in a decommissioned (but still functional) 1936 subway station, it's a true underground museum and the country's largest institution devoted to urban public transportation.
When my son was in preschool, this was one of our go-to indoor play spots. I was pleased to find that, even though he's a mature first grader now, there's still plenty of hands-on fun to keep him engaged.
