DAY ONE: History and Culture in Flushing
Start your day with a stroll around Flushing Meadows-Corona Park. Home to two World Fairs, the US Open, the Mets, and the landmark unisphere, this beautiful park is the perfect place to spend your morning. Rent a bike and go for a relaxing ride through arboreal tunnels. Enjoy a free soccer game played by some local residents. Also, be sure to check out the newly renovated Queens Museum of Art where you will find plenty of contemporary art exhibits along with the world-famous panorama, an incredible, elaborate mini model of the entire city. Younger visitors may enjoy the New York Hall of Science, which allows children to explore scientific investigation through many fun demonstrations and activities.
