Review:
Flushing Meadows-Corona Park is Queens' most well-known public park, originally created as the site of the 1939 World's Fair and reused as the venue for the 1964 World's Fair. The park, which is located near Flushing Bay and the Grand Central Parkway, is the fourth-largest public park in New York City, spanning an area of nearly 900 acres. Many iconic World's Fair attractions remain, including the 140-foot Unisphere, which depicts a rotating globe of the Earth, and the New York City Building, which is home to the Queens Museum. Visitors can explore the New York Hall of Science for free or catch live theatrical presentations at the Queens Theatre in the Park for a ticketed upcharge. Other attractions include the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, which hosts the annual U.S. Open tennis competition, and Citi Field, which is the home stadium of the New York Mets.
