Queens County Farm Museum

For city kids, the Farm Museum is reason enough to pay Queens a visit. With a history dating back to 1697, it occupies 47-acres (New York City's largest remaining tract of undisturbed farmland) and is the only working historic farm in the city. The site includes historic farm buildings, a greenhouse complex, livestock, a petting zoo, farm vehicles and implements, planting fields, an orchard, herb garden and vineyard. During Halloween season, The Amazing Maize Maze, a spooky corn maze, is a huge hit. In addition, the greenhouse gift shop is a great place to buy fresh, nutritious farm products like honey, eggs, herbs, and vegetables.
