"Today my family and I visited the farm. What we liked: there are parking spaces, spacious territory, free entrance, clean toilets, friendly staff. There are vegetable gardens with different plants on the territory, there is even a children's vegetable garden. Of course, we were happy to see the animals: goats, sheep, llamas, pigs, cows, colorful chickens. All the animals are clean and well-groomed.

"I recently attended Queens Farm Museum, and I was thoroughly impressed with the entire experience. For a free event, the quality was outstanding! The farm itself is beautiful and well-maintained, offering a perfect blend of history, nature, and fun. The staff was friendly and helpful, making the experience even more enjoyable for visitors of all ages. There were so many engaging activities for both kids and adults, and the attention to detail in the programming was fantastic. The farm’s peaceful atmosphere made it a great escape from the city, and I loved the opportunity to see the animals up"

"Owned and operated by NYC, it’s one of a kind park to visit. Saved from oblivion by string of lucky historical turns of events, the farm is oasis among dense urban development. I have appreciated free farm house tour with historical details, it was highlight of the visit. I wish the farm would allow to purchase food to feed the animals, it would provide for much more engaging interaction with visitors."
