Queens County Farm
This is not the best farm in NYC by any means, but it is close to my home and there is no admission fee. So it is a win win experience! I went here two times, once with my one year old, husband, parents and sisters and the next with my two sons when they were seven and four. This experience will take at most three hours of your day. Just note that the farm offers no fruit or apple picking.
In the month of October, they have a pumpkin patch repeating every Saturday and Sunday as well as the amazing maize maze (a three acre corn maze that takes approximately 45 minutes to get through and is a great experience with your young children!!! Costs $10 per adult and $5 per child over 4 years old). They also have a Haunted House the last weekend of October.
Kill a few birds with one stone: If you are in the mood to see beautiful and lavish homes, drive north approximately 2 miles to the neighborhood of Little Neck (which is also amazing for trick or treating so best to go to the farm on Halloween day so you can go through this neighborhood after. There are two sections, one west of Little Neck Parkway and one East (between the LIE and Northern Blvd). The west section is the nice homes but the east is where all the great trick or treating and decoration action is! Visit both. You won't regret it. Also, if you love Christmas decorations, come back in two months and visit the neighborhood again!
