One of my favorite interactive museum in NYC was The Museum Of Illusions. One of the best
There is one in la too
Yes! I love that museum
It’s so small tho
@@jazzlenee yeah it’s not the best tbh, for $17 and how small it was I don’t think it was really worth it.
much better than boring MoMa
As a Native New Yorker, I thought this was great, and wonderful choices of places to see. There are several more that didn't make the list, but my favorite of these is the Transit Museum as well. Great video.
Yeah, probably 10-15 other deserving ones.
@@HereBeBarr what are they? i live close to the city and wanna visit
I loved the transit museum when I visited in 2017 especially the old subway cars that you highlighted. And as a tourist I felt it was a good way to explore another part of the city besides Manhattan.
Lmao I’ve lived here my whole life and I never even heard of these
Hailee Drew oh my gosh even I have 😂
I live in NJ and I heard of a lot of these
Me too
While we visited NYC this weekend , we visited The Color Factory thanks to this recommendation. It was awesome- TY.
We also visited Hudson Yard, The Vessel the interactive art wall. All great fun and highlights of our trip thanks to you. 👏🏼
*5:05** Nice to see that someone has finally vlogged my favourite museum in NYC*
Thx for the Tipps again!
I arrive today for 1 week from germany in NY, and i think almost 75% off all tips are from you...
:D
I remember back in 1999 stumbling into the Museum of Financial History down in Financial District while on a trip to NYC. I really liked it, and remember exhibits about history of NYSE, the Rockefellers, and original monopoly boards games...It was quite a treat!
I’ve been to New York City a few times and seen Neo Yokio on Netflix. It was incredible. The Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building, Broadway, and the movie locations. And the museums are always a must-see.
Did the transit museum and loved it. Have to try out the others. Thanks for the tips.
All great choices. My favorite is the Transit museum and it’s always a great place to bring the kids. Or you can just run around and be one yourself.
Hey John, loved the video, appreciate your history interest. Thank you for including Fraunces Tavern and the NY historical museum (again after the UWS video)
Love the way adri looks with that cloche hat... She portrays that sort of "allure" that gets you back to that age. Great vid, jon. I can't get enough of learning about the big 🍏 throughout your eyes. Keep it up, dude!!!
Great info. Thanks my man
Really nice and great discovery from today at UA-cam!!! I just known about the colour museum. Hope to visit some day NY. Really well done!
I'm going to the color museum now! Check out The New Museum it's tech inspired and one of my favorites
Going in June, and am planning to incorporate all of these into the trip! Perfect video! Thanks!
You're welcome.
Really good content fella , keep going !
Great video I feel number 5 was the best though
Hi Be Barr, I really love your your you tube channel! Very informative, keep up the good work.
Been to three of these! Fraunces Tavern, New-York Historical Society (twice because they had the Harry Potter Exhibit there!), and Transit Museum. I swear you can spend -hours- at the Transit Museum. It should be noted that Fraunces Tavern sometimes has free admission during the Smithsonian free museum day! Need to check out the other two!
Awesome tips as always!
Dude you are amazing and your videos too, please keep them coming!
Please do more videos on musuems, parks and places to see in nyc.
I am loving your vids! We are planning a 2020 trip to NYC and your videos have given me so many ideas! ❤️🎥
Thanks !!
Looking forward to visiting some of these places on my trip in Oct. Good to see ya growing out the beard! Beard on!
🧔
Very cool! I’m visiting NYC in June! So excited!

Can't wait to visit the transit museum! Love the video.
I, recently, found out about the Color Factory last year through Instagram funny enough. The ball pit was my favorite and I had gelato for the first time. It was really good. If you go on Goldstar, you can find $10 tickets to the New York Historical Society. I have, yet, to go there. I am a member of the New York Transit Museum and went there during their members only day, so I got to see everything before the public. I had a great time being goofy on those old subway cars with no one around....lmao!! I agree highly about visiting there. 😉
Respect bro! Love the channel
I've done 4 out of the 5 already (I'll get to the color factory soon!) You need to do a part 2 (or 3, 4 ,5 ) For the other museums since there are so many!
Another great vlog. The Met has always been my favorite but takes all day, at least, to see. I LOVE that Color Factory. That looked like so much fun. And I would also love the weird and obscure museums. You always show great places and give great advice, Jon. Where’s beautiful Adriana? Did you ever get her out of the ball pit? 😀❤️
Hahah I left her. She made her way out eventually
I'm from the Bronx I love all the places you went I can't wait to take my kids back home to see where I grew up and where I'm from
I'm going to NYC at the end of the month, definitely wanna go to the New York transit museum I love history!!!
The color museum was amazing
So cool, never knew about these museums, I would like to visit the Color Factory Museum, and the New York Transit Museum.
Jon, these are great off the path museums. I particularly like the look of the color museum (which at the time of writing this is still open). Guess I’ll have to grab one of those tickets. I would love to shoot a video in the transit museum...wonder if they’d allow that...hmmmm?!? Thank you for posting this informative video 😎
Really loved the Transit Museum....and the New York Historical Society.
beautiful and nice video bro
You should have mentioned the museum that is in flushing meadows park! It even has like a replica of the nyc map!
Gotta agree on the last two museums. That's where I would like to visit as well.
Good taste
Awesome picks. The Transit Museum is fantastic!
Ohhh great vid. Im not really a big museum person. Unless it’s unique. Will have to check some of these out. Gracias!
If you're a fan of the Color Factory you should also check out Dream Machine. Another NYC vlogger had a vlog there. It is similar in that it is perfect for people looking for a place to take perfect Instagram photos. Like the Color Factory, I believe it also costs $38 to enter.
Yah, the only negative is the price.
Yeah. I agree. It's pretty pricey
The dream maybe is still going??? I was there last March I thought they were closing last May.
Andrea Moscoso It’s still going. The vlogs I’ve seen that showed it were filmed within the last couple months.
You are my favorite NY UA-camr.
On A School Field Trip,I Went To Fraunces Tavern I Highly Recommend It!
I’m going there I can’t wait
You make it sound so interesting. I wish I had your social skills.
Very informative. Even for a life long native. Good Job
Thanks :)
Here before 1 millions views😝😂, keep it up Jon💪🏼
hahahahaha
Transit Museum is my favorite.
I loooved the ColorFactory!! So much fun!
;)
AdriMrvn is it still there??
Hi, I am 2 years late but I thought the Museum Of ICe Cream was fun, so if you can you should definitely go there!
Transit Museum! Really enjoyed it when I was there in 2018
love you bro
New York Transit Museum is awesome tks
here be barr is the my favourite you tube channel
Great video. I had to subscribe to your channel 🌝🙋😀
Yes I loved the new york transit musam
Planning a trip in August, hope these are still open! Doesn’t the NY Public Library have a museum as well!? Anxious to visit there and thank you for your videos! My wife and I watch you all the time!
Such a great video, you’re a great host.🤗
Hi! I went to the Transit Museum thanks to this video, thanks so much. I spend more than 3 hours in there, this is so interesting. Long life to your channel.
Would LOVE to see the NYC Transit Museum! 🥰
Bruh, you have me wanting to move to NYC. I come up to visit often, but I'm finding so many different things to do
I really like the Intrepid Museum. Super cool.
We have one of the old Subway cars in NYS museum in Albany.
Can’t wait to see several of these museum! 5 days & my family will be in Manhattan. :))
MoMath is amazing, and also Moving Image specially if you go with kids
I love you new York city
Awesome video! I definitely want to take my kids to the Colour Factory, looks like so much fun! We will be there in 4 more weeks 😁
Should still be open then, check before going.
@@HereBeBarr just checked, open until May 14😁 Thanks so much for all your videos! We have so much planned to do now because of you😊
They were all cool loved them all but to be in the room that George Washington was and still looks as it was then now that is pretty special 👍👍👍👍
I wish kindly your 9milion subscriber bro
Need to make it back to the Transit Museum. Went way back in the day as a kid
Yeah was my first trip !
Thanks a lot for all your videos! I’m from Chile and will visit NYC next week for my first time! Could I ask you two questions? 1. When you go to museum tips are a must? 2. When you go to a restaurant, I know tips are a “rule”, but could I add the tip into my credit card addition or you have to give the tip in currency? Thanks!!!!
1) no tips on museums 2) you can leave a tip in cash seperately or on the bill as part of your credit card
The Historical society museum is a great place for a whole family to visit.
I really like that tavern museum! Tell me more about that Route 66 Smoke House that was behind you :-)
I use to work near fraunces tavern yrs ago dealing with public safety in the area and i forgot it was a museum bcuz majority of the time ppl would stop and asks me where is the bar and alot of the men working on wall street and financial district would head straight to the bar after work ppl seemed to be interested in the bar more so than the museum lol
Subway museum rocks
Wow I've been to fraunces a few times, I can't believe I didn't notice the museum lol
I'm going in 6 days and I still don't know where to go thanks so much!
Thanks a lot for this video, i will be taking my date to the color factory, i believe she will love it!! God ✝️ bless 🙏!!
Hey, what video(s) do you mention the MET Coisters? I want to send to a friend. Thanks
hey I'm from Australia I'm going to New York at the end of the year and I don't know what to wear, I've heard its cold what would you recommend to wear around Christmas? and what city in new york would you recommend to stay in for under a week ??
My best ones are 3 and 5.
here be barr is the best of you tube
You should do a central jersey or Rutgers area video.
Maybe ru some day
I have been in new York living a long time I have head of some of these but also not some of those
How has this guy not blown up yet
Hi! I read many poor reviews of the Gray line buses hop on hop off service. I would like to buy the NY sightseeing pass for 6 days but it includes this bus service. Have you ever tried this bus or the NY sightseeing pass?
Coming in mid May. The last time we came to NY, we saw a show called Fruza Bruta. It was the coolest show I ever saw. Are there any other cool (non traditional) shows to check out?
pmmahone1 Sleep No More (if you can get tickets), Drunk Shakespeare
The Hall of Science😉🤓
Cool
First !
That ball pit blows the old school McDonalds one out of the water 😂
hahaha
You have to check out the museum of mathematics. I hate math but this was an awesome place
What about the Whitney museum!👍😊
I wonder if the Transportation Museum has more information on those little rails in that tunnel for the cops ... I hope you get what I'm trying to explain; it was a it was a viralish Reddit post.
If you have a chance to go only to one of these two, which one is a better experience- Ice Cream Museum or Color Factory??
You know that your different from everyone else when your favorite museum is the National Museum of Mathematics 😂
Alejandra where is that and what kind of things are shown there? It sounds cool 😂
EM Martinez It’s in Manhattan at 11 E 26th st. It has all kinds of activities relating to math. It’s not like you just sit there doing math and stuff, it has hands on activities. One of the things there I find really interesting is the bike with square wheels, and it actually works! There’s also game like activities on the bottom floor. Look it up on the internet and you’ll see everything it has to offer.
Alejandra OH!! I think I know what you are referring to! The bike on square wheels sounds fairly familiar. I’ll definitely check it out!
If it did however involve some equations to solve, I for sure would not mind. I love math 😂
Thank you so much!!!
🔥
Didn't mention Spyscape. This was the highlight of my last trip to NYC. Disneyland for Bond enthusiast.
