What to do and see in Queens, Queens: The Best Things to do Good for Kids
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 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.

Kidmoto provides a solution to a real problem with family airport travel, car services do not provide harnessed and installed car safety seats for children. Parents fear traveling with young children because it’s terrifying to travel in a car with no car seats. The Kidmoto app connects parents to a network of professionally trained drivers who provide secured child car seats for safe airport car transportation.

We don’t own a car and don’t want to travel around the world with two car seat so this company is our go to. They are on time, the understand kids have tantrums, the install the car seat exactly the way you want (rear facing; forward facing), they are super clean and they even have bags in case there is a little accident with motion sickness. They have allowed us to do numerous trips without ever carrying a car seat to the airport and for that we are grateful

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.

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.

My son had his 8 years old birthday party there; the staff were attentive and respectful from preparation to the actual event. They gave excellent advice, and conducted an excellent tour for my son and his friends. On the day of the party, they took out many animals and show them to the all the kids. The children just went wild!

Ganesha temple in Flushing New York has more to offer than it looks from outside. Very Peaceful and calm houses a traditional Ganesha murti along with many other idols of Goddess and God. It was a beautiful visit for us on a very cold day. Very close to traditions and Hindu faith. I have to mention the Temple Canteen, which serves absolutely delicious vegetarian food in a Udupi style. You can have absolutely lip-smacking dosa and idiyappam. If in that area, it is a must recommended visit, if you want to know about the Hindu faith.

Long Island beach in Queens borough that can be reached by subway. Popular destination for New Yorkers in mid-20th century, still pleasant to visit.
Reviewed By gnaturecenter - Cheshire, United States
I have lived in Belle Harbor and Rockaway almost all my life. The Beach is a free one. Parking in the higher numbers is difficult. Best to come by ferry or mass transit. Further down, there are food services, bathrooms and ba nice boardwalk.
