Didn’t make it to the 1939/40 or 1963/64 World’s Fairs? Well here’s your chance!

Explore the many remnants of the World’s Fairs in today's Flushing Meadows-Corona Park including time capsules, Andy Warhol mosaics and more! Flushing Meadows-Corona Park has lived many lives from marshy tidal wetlands to an early 20th Century ash dump, to the site of not one, but two World’s Fairs. This Flushing Meadows tour explores the past, present, and future of this 900-acre park which was an obsession of the late “Master Builder,” Robert Moses. Join us as we lead you on a journey through Flushing Meadows’ many unnoticed treasures.

The tour ends at the Queens Museum where the New York Panorama, a 1964 World’s Fair remnant is on hand for viewing. It’s a must-see for any New Yorker or anyone visiting New York. Admission to the Queens Museum is included in this tour.
