We moved from Manhattan to Queens for the school system and I\u2019m embarrassed to say that I haven\u2019t really explored my neighborhood. Most of my socializing is still in Manhattan. That changes this year! I\u2019ll take you along on my ride by highlighting fun, family-friendly locations and restaurants. In December, I chaperoned Sean\u2019s class trip to the Queens Museum so I\u2019ll start there!<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.queensmuseum.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Queens Museum<\/a>\u00a0is a really great place for families to visit. The updated arts center is visually striking. (\u201cIt looks like <em>Frozen\u201d<\/em>, one of the schoolgirls said due to all of the glass.) The museum also offers various events and exhibits. My favorite exhibit was <a href=\"http:\/\/www.queensmuseum.org\/exhibitions\/2013\/10\/30\/panorama-of-the-city-of-new-york\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">The Panorama of the City of New York<\/a>, a\u00a03D model of the city of New York from a birds-eye view. I\u2019m not sure if guides are available for the general public because I went with a school group, but I was fascinated by the history of the model. It\u00a0took 200 people \u2013 working from 9am to 5pm \u2013\u00a0<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>three years<\/strong><\/span> to make the landscape. One inch on the model equals one hundred feet in real life. As a frame of reference, an average sized person would be a <em><strong>grain of sand<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0on the panorama. (No\u2026I wasn\u2019t the only one who was intrigued by the Panorama\u2026the kids were too!)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mominthecity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Queens-Museum-of-Art-Panorama1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-27036\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mominthecity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Queens-Museum-of-Art-Panorama1.jpg\" alt=\"Queens Museum of Art Panorama\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mominthecity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Queens-Museum-of-Art-Panorama1.jpg 600w, https:\/\/mominthecity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Queens-Museum-of-Art-Panorama1-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>As we left the museum, our guide mentioned that there were free art-making classes on Sundays. I checked and the museum does offer weekly Drop-in Family Art Workshops on\u00a0Sundays from 1:30pm-4:30pm for children ages 5 \u2013 12 and their adult companions. The workshops are\u00a0free with museum admission ($8 for adults and children 12+; $4 for students and seniors and free for children under 12). Building monsters, designing city blocks and making puppets are just a few of the past options. Our school class created city nightscapes, which was a fun way for the kids to use their imaginations.
