Queens Botanical Garden grew from “Gardens on Parade,” a spectacular five-acre exhibition at the 1939 New York World’s Fair. A living museum serving one of the most ethnically diverse counties in the United States, QBG celebrates the rich cultural connections between people and plants. The LEED® platinum rated Visitor and Administration Center showcases cutting-edge green building practices that promote the health of the environment, community and future generations. A variety of educational and entertainment programs is offered year round. For admission fees, hours, travel directions and more information, visit www.queensbotanical.org or call 718.886.3800
