The High Line
The High Line is one of New York City’s most unique parks, offering visitors the chance to stroll along a historic elevated railway transformed into an urban green space. Located on Manhattan’s West Side, the High Line runs from Gansevoort Street in the Meatpacking District to West 34th Street in Chelsea. The first phase opened to the public in 2009, and the full linear park was completed by 2014. Various activities and public art installations happen year-round. The High Line also offers incredible views of the Hudson River and Manhattan skyline as you stroll above the busy streets below.
Getting There: Traveling by charter bus and relying on our drop-off and pick-up service makes visiting the High Line easy. We’ll drop your group off right at one of the convenient High Line entrances and meet you on the other side after your stroll. That way, you skip the hassle of finding street parking in the busy Meatpacking District and West Chelsea neighborhoods.

New York Transit Museum
All aboard for the New York Transit Museum, a fascinating tribute to the city’s extensive mass transit history. The museum’s home base alone is intriguing—it’s housed underground inside a decommissioned 1930s subway station in Downtown Brooklyn. Visitors access the old Hoyt-Schermerhorn station through the animated turnstiles, then peruse a vast collection of vintage trains and trolleys spanning two centuries. See the very first subway car that transported passengers under the streets of New York City in 1904.
Getting There: Traveling with young transportation enthusiasts or curious history buffs? This engaging museum should top your list of group-friendly attractions. We’ll get your class, tour group, or community right to the doorstep of the New York Transit Museum for easy and efficient transfers. No crowded subway rides are required!
