Queens County Farm Museum
Grounds free daily( check to see if a ticketed public event is being held)
As the oldest working farm in New York City, the museum feels like a totally different world than Manhattan. Feed and pet animals like sheep, ponies and goats, tour farm buildings from three different centuries, and come back during fall when you can go pumpkin(南瓜) picking. Don’t forget to stop by the store on your way out for fresh fruits and vegetables grown on the farm!
