Explore the world’s largest subway system, the beating heart of the city that never sleeps.

  • Discover the remnants of Union Square Station as you learn about a hidden art installation thousands of riders walk by everyday
  • Use the 6 train as your own time machine as you ride through abandoned subway stations that most seasoned NYC commuters don’t know exist
  • Explore the birth of the NYC subway system through amazing archival photos not available to the public
  • Learn about the comically short route of the mythical “Subway before the Subway,” Alfred Ely Beach’s Pneumatic Transit System

Guests will need one MetroCard swipe or OMNY tap to enter the subway.

Please note that although you will see abandoned subway stations from the train, the Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) doesn't grant public access into them under any circumstances.
