Over the past century, Grand Central Terminal has captivated people from around the world with its architectural beauty, unique brick and mortar eateries, and endless transit possibilities. It’s also full of secrets — from being the target of a failed Nazi sabotage mission during WWII to containing hidden areas that keep it and its train traffic running each day.
Join your guide as you venture through Grand Central Terminal — one of the most beautiful and famous train terminals on Planet Earth — along with the new Grand Central Madison LIRR station located 150 feet underground.
Learn about the history of New York Central, the company that built Grand Central Terminal as well as the two preceding incarnations of the terminal built at the same location. Hear the incredible story of how Grand Central Terminal escaped the wrecking ball, and what the Landmarks Preservation Commission, Former First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, and the United States Supreme Court had to do with it.
Uncover the mysteries of the terminal, including why there's a hole in the ceiling, how artists messed-up one of its most defining artworks, and how to find its hidden cocktail lounge. Take a trip 15 stories down to the 700,000 square foot Grand Central Madison to visit incredible new works of art.
Opened in 2023, this LIRR station was the final piece of East Side Access, a decades-long infrastructure project that finally brought Long Island Rail Road trains to Grand Central Terminal. See rare photos from secret areas throughout the terminal, including M42, catwalks, and more.
