The Unisphere is a gem piece of architecture in the heart of Queens. Corona Park has a deep history and its cool to see this still standing.

It is about an hour train ride from Manhattan, but worth it!

Especially if you attended the 64 to 65 Worlds Fair at the site, it is a MUST see.

Great that one of the most iconic structures from the Fair has remained.

Looked great for US Open week, except not sure why they didn’t have the fountains running. Hands
Down the fountains are worth seeing.

Beautiful attraction for kids and families for free. Lot of icecream selling and snacks and street food. Huge park for kids. Walkable from US open stadium and train station. Huge and beautiful must visit.

Visiting this landmark with family is always fun. Playing and running around with such an iconic view is so fulfilling as the views and photos you can get here are breathtaking and so worth the trip!! This park has a lot to offer but visiting the exact area of this giant Earth is something you don’t want to miss while visiting Queens!!

A nice park. Needed a good mow. A little rundown. The water around the globe wasn't on which was disappointing. Bike rentals available

Nice place to bring your family or take a jog. Beautiful park to enjoy whatever you like to do outdoors. Not crowded in the weekdays and easy to get parking.

An iconic monument that takes over the landscape from any point of view. The addition of the water sprinklers are great for the summer which makes it interactive. The park has a lot of potential, and so much more can be done with it. I hope the city turns the park into an even more inviting place! Great events can be held at the park. They should do justice to the worlds fair and restore everything as well. Thankfully, a start has been made!
