The City’s largest and most culturally diverse borough, Queens is home to an extraordinary selection of cuisine, art museums and burgeoning neighborhoods, making it an exceptional place to explore. Queens County Farm Museum and Socrates Sculpture Park feature numerous outdoor activities for adults and children, from hayrides and seedling sales to open-air performances and exhibitions. Long Island City’s cultural mainstay, MoMA PS1, offers the best in experimental and experiential art, while The Noguchi Museum provides insights into a single artist’s body of work. For those looking for a fun excursion with the entire family, visit the Queens Zoo or the New York Hall of Science. And among high-profile sporting events taking place this summer are the annual US Open Tennis Championships, in Flushing Meadows–Corona Park, and Major League Baseball’s All-Star Game, at Citi Field.
