What travelers are saying
- Jonathan ChanLa Jolla, California, USA227 contributionsWalked through the park after visiting the Queens Zoo - there is a ton to see here, including some of the sculptures from the 1964 World's Fair, and the stadium for the US Open. There is tons of space and lots of families, kids, groups, outside playing and enjoying the sun.Written June 13, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- BATMAN & CATWOMANLong Island, NY2,368 contributionsThe perfect choice to take in an afternoon ball game and enjoy the Mets and the weather. Try out the Metropolitan for a snack and drink and watch the game from a sky view.Written June 30, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- The Sushi Guy 🍣Long Island, NY13,276 contributionsWe took a ride into the city for a Sunday of fun. The ride was smooth and on time. Trains were clean and conductors were friendly. The transfer at Jamaica was short and pleasant. We love the LIRR, much easier than driving.Written April 26, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Alonso RSan Jose, Costa Rica11 contributionsThis is a nice public park in Long Island City, from where you have wonderful views of Manhattan's skyline. It is free, and not full of tourist like other places in New York City. There are many options to eat nearbyWritten June 30, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- jack MNew York City, NY1,186 contributionsGiven that Tripadvisor continues to ignore my attempt to enter new destinations (like VANDERBILT MOTOR PARKWAY) I will comment on the VMT on this Cunningham Park site.
The VMT runs just across my building in Oakland Gardens and we use it very frequently for great walks and exercise. It is a wonderful trail spoiled somewhat by occasional boorish bicycle riders who ignore the signs to slow down for pedestrians (just like they do on regular city streets) forcing some of us to jump out of our way. And yes, I am NOT a fan of NYC bicycle riders).
Other than that, it is a wonderful long trail enjoyable in almost every season.Written October 24, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - NowhereToGoMillburn, NJ45 contributionsthe ipa is out of this world. it opened me up to IPAs and cant tolerate any other type... they must be adding crack to the hops.Written June 17, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- HighlightSwooshBoston, MA9 contributionsI. Love. The. US. Open! The Billie Jean King Tennis Center has to be one of my favorite places on earth for the two weeks of the year it comes alive.
I spend several full days a year visiting the incredible tennis in Flushing Meadows, and this year was as good as ever.
If you have the disposable income for it, I can highly recommend getting tickets for good seats at a night session in Arthur Ashe. The experience can be absolutely electric, if you have the stamina for it. They can go very late sometimes... I was there past 3:00am one night, but that's exceptionally late even for US Open standards.
The experience changes throughout the two weeks; in the first week (early rounds) you can see a ton of incredible tennis on the outer courts. You typically see lower ranked players take on each other, or higher ranked players taking on lower ranked players.
On the other hand, the second week (round of 16, QF, SF, F) has far fewer matches, but you tend to see the higher ranked players take on each other which has the potential for some thrilling experiences. I think the QF rounds give you the most bang for your buck in terms of quality vs quantity of tennis.Written December 7, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - Jonathan ChanLa Jolla, California, USA227 contributionsOne of NYC's beautiful beaches! I'm sure it's a lot busier in the summer, but even during the winter months it was nice to walk along the boardwalk. I think surf lessons may be available during the warmer months as well.Written January 2, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Jonathan ChanLa Jolla, California, USA227 contributionsI came here late in the afternoon just to explore, not expecting much. The third floor history of film and television making was interesting. My favorite though was the Jim Henson exhibit on the second floor, exploring the life and work of the creator of Muppets and Sesame Street, with tons of original art and items.Written June 5, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Paul DNew York City, NY192 contributionsAlways fun going to the US Open and watching the great tennis matches and enjoying the wide selection of eats and drinksWritten January 14, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Stan TeczaConnecticut4,396 contributionsBeautiful promenade walk with lots of people coming and going. Offers a nice waterfront view of Manhattan.Written August 17, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Kaylee M5 contributionsOne of my favorite places in Astoria! It’s a nice place for all people to walk, bike, or just layout a blanket and relax. In the summer they have a pool.Written March 19, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Kudoku_11Escondido, CA112 contributionsI am from CA and my folks in NY told me about this museum. It is very unique. Rock curving arts exhibition. There was a nice garden outside with Rock exhibit as well. The museum store (inside) was fun to explore (pricey though). You can experience something you can NOT from other regular "art" (say...painting....) museums. Great place. At this time, FRIDAYS admissions are free. Yes, I went on Friday (7/1/22).Written July 3, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- YatriForeverChennai (Madras), India4,172 contributionsNice shop to go around for few minutes, while you hang around the shopping area before heading to the specific gate for boarding. The store has some nice collections. If you are an occasional or rare visitor to NYC and you have missed buying souvenirs in the City tour, here's the last chance to pickup something nice. Am glad to see this being listed inn TA for review by TA users. Nice !!Written July 16, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Jonathan ChanLa Jolla, California, USA227 contributionsIt's one of the smaller WCS zoos located in Flushing Meadows Corona Park - the layout is circular with lots of paths branching off the main road to see the animals up close. Sea lion feedings are three times a day. They have bears, bison, sea lions, and many other smaller animals.Written June 5, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
