New York Transit Museum
This is a sleeper hit, especially for train-obsessed kids. It's housed in a real decommissioned 1936 subway station; downstairs you walk through vintage subway cars from 1905 onward, and upstairs kids can sit in a real bus driver's seat. Stroller parking, clean bathrooms, a café spot — it's genuinely well set up for families.
A decommissioned subway station full of vintage trains kids can board — and a bus they can 'drive.'
