About this adventure
The historic 47-acre Queens County Farm Museum—dating back to 1697—glows with over 1,000 artisan-crafted silk and LED lanterns depicting illuminated farm animals, towering illuminated tractors, magical flowers, festive mushrooms, and mythological creatures. Families stroll through a gentle half-mile outdoor walking loop under glittering lantern archways, interact with illuminated swings, sample hot cider and cider donuts from the farm store, and say hello to the farm's resident alpacas and goats.
