Wednesday June 13

6:00 PM  –  8:00 PM

With exclusive access through the Transit Museum, explore the elegant chandeliers, leaded skylights, vaulted tile ceiling, and graceful curves of this decommissioned subway station. The tour begins above ground and where you’ll learn the fascinating history of the Beach Pneumatic Tube and the development of City Hall, then head downstairs and be transported back to 1904, a time when the Subway’s opening and the completion of this station marked a moment of great civic pride.


Old City Hall station tours begin above ground with a historical walk in the area, followed by a visit to the station itself. Tours last approximately 2 hours from beginning to end, run rain or shine, and require walking, standing, and stair climbing. Flip-flips and other backless shoes are prohibited.
