We were at the US open in September. We attended the Quarter finals and the final. What a great experience. We had tickets for the Arthur Ashe Stadium for the Quarters and Finals but Murray was moved to the Louis Armstrong stadium in Quarters so we were able to get a much closer seat to the court. The atmosphere at... More

Its free and interesting to take a photo in front of the Unisphere globe of earth from the 1964 worlds fair. But look at central park which glows in comparison. There is a lot to develop here. Park is also tough to park at greatly limiting access and visitors.

Great to see the remainders of the 1939 World's Fair here, it's located in Queens so take the NYC subway and check out one of the largest urban centers in the United States on the way. The #7 subway line stops at Willets Point/Shea Stadium, above Roosevelt Avenue in the northern part of the Park. Park itself was deserted but... More

As a kid I was always fascinated by Flushing Meadows tennis tournament and John Mc Enroe was my hero. When I booked tickets for the Cirque du Soleil event in April and realized that the circus was located next to the park, I was thrilled. It is a nice park just next to the Mets stadium and the featured giant... More

This park was the site of the 1962 World"s Fair. The Unisphere was constructed for this fair. Great experience to walk around the smaller lake! Plenty of space for walking and picnicing! Scenes in the movie "Men in Black Part II" were shot in this park.

I was in Flushing, Queens for a three days of New York Mets game in August 2012. After the last Sunday game I walked over to Flushing Meadows Corona Park. The World's Fair structures are beautiful, even though most sit unused. "The World" structure is very impressive. You can rent bicycles in the park. There were plenty of people riding... More

This is a huge park in Queens NY. It is where the huge globe is. Great place to go with family. It is very safe. On Saturday and Sunday, many people are playing soccer there. It is an amazing site. Not too many tourists so it is good to go where only locals are.

On the morning of the final we bought tickets and were there when Andy Murray won the US Open Final - a once in a lifetime opportunity for us and WOW! What an amazing place, the stadium and surrounding areas are kept so clean, with an amazing atmosphere inside. This made our honeymoon perfect :o)
