    The Queens County Farm Museum offers visitors a unique experience of rural life within the urban landscape of New York City. This historic site, dating back to 1697, provides a glimpse into agricultural practices and farm life spanning three centuries. The 47-acre property features restored farm buildings, livestock, and various crops, making it an educational and entertaining destination for families and individuals alike.

    Visitors appreciate the museum's commitment to preserving agricultural heritage and its role in educating the public about sustainable farming practices. The farm animals, including cows, pigs, and chickens, are a highlight for many, especially children. The seasonal events, such as the fall pumpkin patch and corn maze, are popular attractions that draw crowds.

    The museum offers guided tours, which receive positive feedback for their informative content and engaging presenters. Many visitors find the staff and volunteers to be friendly and knowledgeable, enhancing the overall experience.

    However, some reviewers mention that the museum could benefit from more interactive exhibits or hands-on activities for visitors. Additionally, a few visitors have noted that the facilities, including restrooms and picnic areas, could use some improvements or updates.

    Despite these minor drawbacks, the Queens County Farm Museum is generally well-regarded for its educational value, peaceful atmosphere, and the opportunity it provides for urban dwellers to connect with nature and agricultural history. Its accessibility via public transportation is an added bonus for many visitors.

    Awful powwow of white people profiting from native culture and heritage. Rigged competition in order for their thunderbird group and family and friends to win competition. The atrocities don't stop there. Pricing for both dancers and spectators is over the top especially when prize money is way too low. If you are to charge 15+ per person atleast make prize money count. The staff was absolutely horrid, no manners or general knowledge on native culture whatsoever. And they were lacking everything to run a FAIR COMPETITION and WORKING POWWOW. You cannot run a good powwow if you aren't even able to line up grand entry, have an awful emcee with no education, an arena director who was absent the whole weekend, host drum dropped out after Friday night, no head dancers, family judging family during competition, and so much more that has made the weekend and powwow in general absolutely horrible. I am baffled at the fact that this organization has held it together this long without someone speaking up about their disappointing actions. 43 years is long enough to get yourselves together and establish an ACTUAL powwow. You all claim thus is the "best powwow on the east coast" and you could not be more wrong. Please consider changing the flyer to "worst powwow on the east coast. Come join our competition where you will NOT BE JUDGED FAIRLY so that our family and friends can win (even thought they can't dance to a straight song).
