Queens County Farm Museum

“Tucked away in Queens, the Queens County Farm Museum is a truly special place that feels a world away from the city's hustle and bustle. It's a fantastic spot for a quiet afternoon stroll, a family outing, or a fun day with friends. The farm has a rich history, with roots going all the way back to 1697. As one of New York's last remaining working historical farms, it's a great place to connect with nature and see what life was like in the past. One of the best parts of the farm is getting to see the animals. There's a wide variety of livestock, and you can even buy feed to give the goats and sheep. While some special events require tickets, general admission to the grounds is often free, making it a great budget-friendly activity. Whether you’re looking to relax in a serene setting, teach the kids about farming, or simply enjoy a beautiful day outdoors, the Queens County Farm Museum is an absolute gem. It’s a wonderful resource that brings a piece of country life right into the city.”

“We had such a fun day at Queens Farm with the kids! We started off at the pumpkin patch, surrounded by rows of bright orange pumpkins — it was so pretty and full of fall vibes. The kids loved picking their favorite pumpkins and running around the field. Next, we went to feed the llamas, which was such a hit! You can buy food at the farm to feed them, and the kids had the best time watching the llamas munch right from their hands. After that, we checked out the chickens, pigs, goats, and cows — the kids were amazed to see them up close. There’s also a hayride that takes visitors around the farm, but we missed it this time since the last one was at 4 p.m. (definitely going to plan for that next time!). Before leaving, we stopped by the farm store, and I highly recommend grabbing their apple cider, fresh donuts, and roasted corn — everything tasted amazing! 🍎🌽🍩 Such a wholesome day filled with laughter, learning, and fall fun. 🍁”

“You wouldn’t think there was such a quaint place here. Came at 3 PM on a random Tuesday spontaneously. No events. Saw chickens, two steeds, and some sheep and alpaca. The feed is affordable like $3 a bag and you can feed the alpacas. They were so cute but when we went back at the end it seems the staff was closing and no alpacas around. So I definitely recommend going early. They usually run out of eggs by 11 they said. Hayride was bumpy and probably more fun with an educational lead or a big group. But the fact that this exists and it is free to walk around with the kids is beautiful. Only wish there was more guidance and more farm things in the store itself. Maybe the details need a formal school trip instead of just a family visit. Would come back for strawberry season. The corn maize wasn’t open yet but it looks great.”

“I took my daughter and her friend to this Farm when they were Freshman in High School and recently a couple years later. It is always family friendly for all age ranges. Very interesting and hands on.”
