Its way smaller than its counterpart in Brooklyn and it looks more like a book shop than a museum, but at least admission here is free. When I visited, there was a model of the Grand Central Terminal and its surrounding skyline, complete with moving miniature trains. The gift shop has a decent stock of souvenirs, books, and gift items. Head to the main museum in Brooklyn for a more complete museum experience.

Grand Central Terminal is a hub for transportation but also a lot of people shop here. The New York Transit Museum has a little store that is a great peak into how great our transportation system is. This is really tourist stuff like MTA subway shower curtains and shirts with the N sign on it. But if youre interested you could check out the real transit museum in Brooklyn.

I love love love this Museum. I used to come here as a kid and now that I am over 30 I still enjoy going down to see the old vintage train cars that will never ride again. I know sometimes they run these old cars on special days of the year. The old turnstyles and stuff brought be back to the 80s and showed me how far the MTA has come with the Subway system.

Nice place to shop for some transit Buff stuff, however I must say I dont feel comfortable there. It seems the security will watch and follow you if youre of a darker skin hue, and ignore those who arent, despite witness one of the stealing myself. Go figure.

Visit and learn how the New York transit system was created, how it operates and even a glimpse into the future of our mass transit. Kids will love the interactive power system exhibits, as well as the real live trains they can walk through.

the aisles are so narrow that you are always in someones way. but they do have more extensive merchandise than the actual museum location in brooklyn. the museum display in the rear is a nice way to kill time while waiting for a train.

It is a nice shop, I have found the poster I was looking for, but this is not the museum, it is just the shop and small gallery. The museum is in Brooklyn.

I was watched way too hard and I had no intention of stealing anything. Smh.
