A visitor writes on September 18, 2010: "After reading about it on
your site, my family and I went to the Queens County Farm Museum today. My
son (3) and daughter (1) loved the hayride and the corn maize. My husband
and I thought that the corn maize was great---loved the puzzles and the
mailboxes as it kept our kids entertained while they enjoyed exploring. We
also grabbed a bite to eat, bought some food at the farmers market and
visited the animals on the farm. It was a fun experience for all of us! We
were really impressed with the staff- everyone was friendly and helpful! "
