Queens County Farm Museum

NileGuide Expert tip:

The Farm Museum holds various seasonal events throughout the year, including an Easter Egg hunt, children's carnival, antique automobile shows, and the Queens County Fair in early fall.

Description:

• This 47-acre site, parts of which are over 200 years old, is a working farm that grows produce and houses livestock. It is hard to believe that a place like this exists in New York City, but there it is. The farm hosts a yearly children's festival and apple festival, and there is a picnic area on the premises. There are also regular tours of the farm and its history, and a variety of educational programs. Wonderful for fall outings with the kids. Admission is free.
