The site of the 1939/1940 & 1964/65 worlds Fair! Check out the science museum, zoo and many events that happen here. Place to also just hang out and get lost in Queens.

Twice the host of the World's Fair, this is a place to kick a few soccer balls or take in a sunny day in the park. Public transportation just steps away.

What was allowed to remain after the 1964-66 New York World's Fair. I have a great memory of the Fair. The park is used by many locals.

Some great structures still remain from the Worlds Fair. The Unisphere is worth the trip on it's own.

Never realized how big this park was....never explored the whole place but what I've seen of it - looks like a good place to chill and hang out for the day.
