This is the outside of building 92. You can clearly see the large metal screen covering the building which keeps the building from getting too hot by reflecting the sunlight but allowing some light to get through the holes for visibility. The image is taken from an old picture of the USS Brooklyn as it was left in 1936.

  • Itinerary: Tour Wed. Feb. 17, 12 – 1:30PM
  • 12pm-1:30pm – Brooklyn Navy Yard Sustainable Architecture & Industry Tour
  • 1:30pm-2pm – Independent exploration of the exhibits at BLDG 92

Getting to BLDG 92:
  • IMPORTANT: If you are using GPS or an online mapping service to find BLDG 92, enter “Flushing Ave and Carlton Ave, Brooklyn, NY” and not the street address, as there is only one address for the entire 300-acre Yard. Do not enter “63 Flushing Ave” or just “Brooklyn Navy Yard,” as you will end up in the wrong location.
  • Do not attempt to enter the Brooklyn Navy Yard through any of the other security entrances, as you will be turned away. There is no public parking inside the gates of the Navy Yard, with the exception of individuals with a handicapped parking sticker.
  • If you plan on taking the subway, the closest stops are York Street (F) and High St (A/C). Alternative transportation options, as well as driving, biking, or ferry directions are here.
  • Driving Directions: The Brooklyn Navy Yard is accessible from the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway (I-278), either via the exits for Tillary St (exit 29B), Flushing Ave (exit 30 eastbound), or Wythe Ave/Kent Ave (exit 31 westbound).
  • Street parking is available adjacent to BLDG 92, or there is a free municipal parking lot one block south of BLDG 92 along Park Ave, underneath the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway.
  • If you get turned around for any reason, please call Turnstile Tours at (347) 903-8687.
Other Tips & Info:
  • Bring a camera. There are great views all over the Yard, but please note that photographs taken on this tour may only be used for non-commercial or personal purposes.

Please also note that photography of Steiner Studios, the power plant, and the interiors of tenant buildings (without permission), is not allowed.
  • Dress comfortably and appropriately for the weather. Wear comfortable shoes and make sure to dress appropriately for the weather, as we will be getting off the bus at several points during the tour. We give our tours rain or shine, and there will be no refunds due to weather conditions unless Turnstile Tours cancels the tour out of concern for safety. In this case, we would call you no later than 9am on the day of the tour to reschedule.
