What to do and see in Queens, Queens: The Best Things to do Good for Big Groups

May 29, 2021 Almeta Stockton

Queens is the most ethnically diverse area of its size on Earth, which means there's a little something for everyone. Chow down on Indian food, sit in on a traditional Irish pub music session, and dance the night away at a Puerto Rican nightclub, all of it located within a few subway stops. Queens is also the home of the Mets and the US Tennis Open, and the former home of the New York World's Fair, now Flushing Meadow-Corona Park, and Paramount Pictures, now the Museum of the Moving Image.

Gantry Plaza State Park

Reviewed By untdrum99 - Cebu City, Philippines

Gantry Plaza State Park is located in Long Island City in Queens and is a great park with a lot of family-friendly activities with a dog park, sand volleyball, dining, open spaces, and with some of the best views of the Manhattan skyline, especially at sunset. There is also a ferry that goes across to Manhattan, but is also conveniently located near a couple of subway stops. Entrance to the park is free. It's a former dockyards so it is interesting to see how they have repurposed the area into something everyone can use. There is free parking located nearby on the street.

Flushing Meadows Corona Park

A great NYC park for people-watching, this was the site of previous World Fairs and offers visitors bicycle paths, the Queens Wildlife Conservation Center, a carousel, freshwater fishing, indoor ice-skating rink and marina.

Reviewed By emilymaehood - Long Island, United States

Queens, New York hosts an epic playground, Flushing Meadows Corona Park, for everyone’s unique desires. This 897 acre park is the 4th largest public park in NYC. It was once host to the 1939 & 1964 World’s Fair and Shea Stadium. It currently houses Citifield (home to the Mets), USTA Billie Jean National Tennis Center (US Open), New York Hall of Science, Queens Zoo, Queens Museum of Art, Queens Theatre in the Park, and the New York State Pavilion. This is a great place for multiple family adventures! Check out the link in my bio for information on all of the different attractions.

Museum of the Moving Image

The only museum in the United States that is devoted exclusively to the history, art and technology of movies, television and video.

Reviewed By travels_galaxy - San Miguel de Cozumel, Mexico

This place is worth visiting just to see the Jim Henson exhibit. Original muppets from the Muppet Show (Ms Piggy, Kermit the Frog and the Swedish Chef) We visited last April, and they also had a history of sports video games, from pong to modern eSports (and everything in between). Definitely a good museum option in a city full of museums.

Citi Field

Reviewed By gaharris10 - Yonkers, United States

Citi Field, the home field of the New York Mets, is one of the most gorgeous baseball stadiums of Major League Baseball (MLB). My wife and I have attended multiple New York Mets baseball games at Citi Field and we have enjoyed each of our experiences at the stadium. The seats are quite comfortable and provide fans great access and views of the Mets players and the baseball game. My wife and I found the food selection to be tasty and superb, appreciated the support and service provided by the stadium’s staff, and we also enjoyed visiting the New York Mets Hall Of Fame & Museum. All in all, my wife and I had a wonderful baseball experiences at Citi Field, and look forward to the day when the threat of COVID 19 ends and when Citi Field opens it doors to fans again.
