Lonely Planet review

Occupying an old subway station built in 1936 (and out of service since 1946), this museum takes on 100-plus years of getting around the Big Apple. Kids love the models of old subway cars, bus drivers' seats, and the chronological display of turnstiles from the late 19th century. Best is the downstairs area, on the platform, where everyone can climb aboard 13 original subway and elevated-train cars dating from the 1904.
