Reviews for Rochester Abandoned Subway in Rochester, NY
So much history down there! I love imagining how things looked back in the days down there?I bet they were so full of ppl!
Really great artistry, and a nice chill place to enjoy the river a bit. It is a trek though! You also need to not be weird and... paranoid about homeless people, they're just living down there and not really by choice. Be polite and just continue on yourtrek. It's worth the trouble I think. Likely more people will want to and get to see all the art with the current AqueductReimagined phase 1 plans. Read more
Great place to explore with plenty of amazing street art!
Honestly for searching up "things to do near me", I'm glad this showed up. My friends and I went and bought one flashlight just... for this experience. It was really cool and we didn't go to far. All the graffiti is either good art or just harmless stuffpeople tag. If you go with others, make sure everyone has their own flashlight. It is really dark in there and my group didn'tmake it to the end. For sure check it out if you have the time but be wary of rocks and garbage on the ground. There is alsosometimes water that drips from the ceiling. Overall one of a kind experience. Read more
Went down near the corner of Industrial and Broad street. Was stopped by film crew not too far in and we had to leave. Note that... they will most likely be filming from this section of the subway for a couple of months - find another entrance! Read more
There is a building over the first entrance that we went to and ended up walking 14 minutes down the road to the other entrance... which was open. It was definitely worth it. Below are 2 photos showing the Google Earth view of the entrance next to thedinosaur bbq and the building that exits there now. The last photo is of the entrance we walked to that is still accessible. Read more
Not for the feint hearted or easily scared (lile.me), that's for sure. I didn't get very far down the tunnel because my bike... light wasn't powerful enough and the flash on in my camera failed anyway. But this is an awesome piece of history that lookslike something out of the movie '28 Days Later' Next time I'll bring a flashlight and a willing human being to hold my hand. Read more
The subway tracks were laid in the former Erie Canal when it was re-routed to bypass downtown Rochester. The service was ceased... in 1956. The best pictures can be taken at night: if you have Pixel, use the night sight. Get to one of the arches and take apicture of the tunnel with all the graffiti to get an eerie and powerful image.
