皇后区艺术博物馆

It’s a nice neighborhood museum with a great model of the city plus other exhibits. Good way to spend 2 hours indoors. It’s next to corona park so good to spend some time outdoors. Admission is based on donation and under 12 is for free. Also free plants of parking on site

I'm so grateful we stopped here when visiting. This museum has the most amazing replica of Queens. This is the real reason to stop in. But please check out the rest of the museum. There are quite a few interesting exhibits. There was also a show and health fair happening at the time.

The Queens Museum, located in Flushing Meadows–Corona Park, is a center of culture, history, and art. It features diverse galleries such as the Pakistan Gallery and the Philippines Gallery, along with exhibits on New York’s water system. The museum is also home to the famous Tiffany Glass Gallery, showcasing exquisite handcrafted glass pieces decorated with floral and intricate designs, reflecting timeless craftsmanship. Its most iconic attraction is the Panorama of the City of New York, a breathtaking large-scale architectural model that represents the entire city with remarkable detail. In this panorama, every element—from rivers, bridges, temples, and massive buildings—has been recreated just as it exists in reality, offering visitors a unique way to explore the grandeur of New York in miniature form.

Only a handful of exhibits which is nice as you can actually feel like you've seen everything on display. The NYC mini model is awesome
