Rise and shine with the New York Transit Museum! Children with developmental disabilities or autism and their families are invited to join us in Downtown Brooklyn for a morning of free family fun. Discover the Museum before we open to the public at 10am and participate in special transit-themed activities led by Transit Museum staff. Let’s have a Special Day together!
It’s our birthday! Come celebrate 50 years of the New York Transit Museum in our new exhibit The New York Transit Museum: 50 Years of Stories. Create your own tile mosaic inspired by subway station art and complete a Search and Find activity all through the museum to learn about art in our transit system! Then, head down to the platform to enjoy a show about Alfred Ely Beach’s secret “subway,” and an interactive music performance by Seth Ginsberg of Creative Music Programs! A quiet room will be available for anyone who would like a sensory break.
All ages welcome! Admission to this program is FREE and advance registration is required. After registering you will receive 2 emails: a confirmation email and an email with your e-tickets for the event.
