Although it is not as flashy or high-profile as Manhattan, Queens, NY, offers a number of fascinating sights and activities for visitors. In fact, there’s so much to do and the borough is so large that you'll almost certainly need to arrange for a taxi service to accomplish everything on your trip itinerary. Below are some of the key activities to enjoy on your trip to Queens.

4 Fun Things to Do & See in Queens, NY

1. The Unisphere

The Unisphere is an enormous stainless-steel globe in Flushing Meadows, Queens. It was commissioned for the World's Fair of 1964 to 1965 as a representation of the need for global interdependence. It stands 140 feet tall, has a 120-foot diameter, and has become the symbol of Queens.

2. The Panorama of NYC

You can find the Panorama within the Queens Museum of Art, which is right next door to the Unisphere. It is an impeccably detailed representation of the entire city in miniature. It’s so accurate that you can pinpoint particular homes, buildings, restaurants, and streets as they were 50+ years ago at its creation.

3. The Museum of the Moving Image

Film and TV buffs will love this tribute to the motion arts. It celebrates the history and technology of the cinema and gives visitors a truly hands-on experience. You can create your own animations, view life-size recreations of your favorite actors, and dub your voice into a movie soundtrack.

4. Citi Field

Although historic Shea Stadium was demolished in 2009, you can still watch the Mets play at Citi Field in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park. Whether your team wins or loses, it's a pleasant way to spend an afternoon, and tickets are considerably less expensive than you'd pay to watch the Yankees. And with a taxi service, you won’t have to stress about parking.
