It is for free, at least in 2022! They have an old model of the city, including Manhattan, Brooklyn, The Bronx and Queens! Is nice even is not updated, I would recommend to visit here and the Unisphere just in front!

5 stars for the huge panorama of NYC. It was truly a WHAT-THE-HECK-THIS-IS-AMAZING moment to see the entirety of the city modeled with hundreds of thousands of pieces. Don’t miss out on the informative audio guide!
60-90 minutes should be enough to get through all the installations.

A great place. Queens museum cares about the community and contributes to the growth and representation of the peoples of the borough. An amazing place to go!

Just like everyone else said, the Tiffany glass exhibit, world's fair stuff, panorama and the watershed exhibit were all awesome. The rest of the museum was very modern and contemporary. Some recorded performance art. Lots of exhibits with headphones. I think there must be an app that allows you to hear info about each exhibit and piece but I didn't have it. Probably detracts from the overall experience not having it. Some exhibits were a bit confusing without the explanation. Overall, I would recommend checking it out if you live in NYC, particularly if you live in Queens.

First off, the panorama is one of the coolest museum exhibitions I have ever seen. I spent about 45 minutes on it.

The rest of the museum was very whatever. Nothing really got my eye. And I hate to be this guy, but it was just far too woke. Anti NYPD stuff is just kind of a red line for me.

Honestly I was hoping to see a lot more interesting exhibits on the history and culture of Queens and Corona Park. Other than the Panorama of NYC, everything else was boring and uninteresting. Hopefully they will make better updates soon.

Art, Educational Programming usually discussing or interacting with social justice issues. Their mainstay exhibits center around the 1964 Worlds' Fair, particularly the Panorama exhibit of a miniature of manhattan and surrounding areas. A great museum for a day, and while there are some exhibits that work for children, not all are perfect fits, but they try to often make them interactive. The cafe is still closed as of this review (11/28/21), but they have their farm to table vending machine along with some other regular vending machines. Not a lot of sitting/rest areas and limited bathrooms.

I really like this Museum in Corona. They gave small exhibitions that usually talk about New York City. They are not as espectacular as those museums in Manhattan but you always learn something new. Besides, the gigantic model of the city is outstanding

This place does not obligate you to pay anything, that alone makes it 5 stars. Parking was even free. They do have donation boxes if you'd like to opt to do so. Lot of art and objects revolved around the world's fair or NYC in general. Went to a theater video presentation that was rather interesting. Large model of NYC was amazingly detailed.

Went to a wedding at the Queens museum. The wedding was in the theater and the dinner was at the Museum. A wonderful venue!

This is a great museum. Small enough to see everything in a couple hours, yet big enough to keep you entertained. The scale model of NYC is amazing. It just needs to be updated to show New York’s current skyline.

Beautiful and interesting museum with a great deal of cool things to see, especially the "Panorama of the City of New York", really unique. Everyone working here was very friendly and attentive

It’s free and it’s definitely worth visiting. You book online and the most enjoyable exhibition for me was the miniature model of New York City.

The Museum is not too bad, it exhibited things from the 1964 and 1965 world fair but it is not suitable for children younger that 5yrs.it open at 11: am and is free Sunday to Wednesday. The thing I did like about the Museum is that there not parking and when I went with my family I had problem to find parking and it was also the US Open too so the place was block off all over.

Absolutely fantastic. The giant model of New York is worth the trip. I really enjoyed the Tiffany lamp display and World's Fair memorabilia.

A real gem of a museum. Free tickets, just go to website and book tickets in advance for a specific hour. It was very easy and done through eventbrite. My favorite exhibits were the nyc diorama and the Tiffany collection, talking about the famous Tiffany glass. The nyc diorama shows all of the boroughs from 1964. The two towers are still featured. Goes from day to night and there is a special gem in the air that I won't spoil. Loved visiting here!
