Do you like baseball? Then catch a foul ball at Citi Field. This is an innovative baseball-only park that was constructed on the parking area of the recently closed Shea Stadium, which served as the home of the professional baseball team from 1965 until 2008. Or what about tennis? USTA Tennis Center boasts one of the four “grand slam” tennis tournaments – the US Open. The US Open takes place August through September each year. The grounds include two very large tennis venues, Louis Armstrong and Arthur Ashe stadium. You’ll also find several other smaller courts, along with several shopping and dining options that are open when the US Open takes place. Smaller tennis tournaments and match ups occur at the site throughout the remainder of the year.

Among the sites situated on the fairgrounds: The Queens Theater in the Park, the New York Hall of Science, the Queens Museum of Art, and the Queens Wildlife Center, among other attractions.
