I never went in there but I know that people will enjoy themselves in there.
Never been to the museum but we went to visit a friend in the park and prayed.
I wanted to visit but they have changed their hours and you must reserve in advance through their website!
Excellent tour and a awesome tour guide, and staff. A hidden gem.
Very good musem .and play ground.close to transportation
A beautifull park surrounded with plenty of shops to buy beverages or sandwiches and eat them while sitting on a bench in the park and enjoying the picturesque view . Also a good option for performing some morning activity or even having a walk . The park includes an artificial grass area for football matches only needs some gym equipment around and more regular cleaning .
Oh, this museum is so much fun! They let you walk around and see all the different rooms. And there are plenty of activities to do outside, before the tour starts. And Im remembering correctly, its all free unless you want to buy a souvenir.
The park is nice my kids love it
Great park for basketball and handball. Family spot. And the Futbol is really good, just be ready.
Wonderful historical place in the Center of Jamaica Queens.
Awesome piece of history. You could walk by it every day and not realize what it actually is.
I didnt go inside the museum it was an outside event which my daughter and I enjoyed.
Its an intriguing historical piece of land and the tour for the museum was nice. The tour guide was nice and she did her job well. The house is beautiful and Im surprised I just went into it since Ive lived in queens my whole life
I visited today for the first time ever. My tour guide, Mike, was the best part. He was knowledgeable about every single thing asked about. A person shows when they have a passion for their subject. I was impressed! Rufus King is an important part of American Revolutionary War history and seeing his Farm Manor House up close was a treat. The kitchen, the study, the bedroom and all the rooms had beautiful detailing and are true to the time periods. There are many original works within. It is worth the time to go visit. $5 entrance fee and you need to sign up beforehand. There was one COVID tracing form to complete.
It is comfortable for relaxing, studying, reading, and exercising. Especially during the summer it is better than the library because you set your own space to do your things. In contrast, the library gives a person access to computer and among other things, but it is not a peaceful place. So l usually take the initiative to go the park to find a peaceful area to fo things.
In the park area outside of the museum, you can find a diverse group of people playing soccer, families playing with their children, and also some homeless friends in need of help. Im the summer time, there are concerts on the grass where everyone enjoys a great time together. This park has a great family feel to it. Its also a popular meeting spot for couples and individuals looking to people watch.
The scenery is breathtaking around the part.
Update operating hours or take down the open signs. Luckily it was only 44° outside today smsh!
Its a nice park.Plenty of benches and trees all around.Alot of drinking goes on in the park which stopped open barbecueing,fights would break out.Thats really sad in such a beautiful park.And alot of dogs,i wouldnt sit on the grass.But its nice,sometimes bands come out.Plenty of stores around.
Nice place to sit and watch the kids play and run around
Cool place but as a female, should definitely watch your back or bring protection if alone. 💯😐
I have frequently visit this local, small but informative, cute museum with my campers over the years...this is my first summer going 3x bc the children enjoyed the 30min sessions and the 2nd fl was renovated and open for the public. So, I was able to interact with different staff who were all very professional, patient with my children and informative. If your a queens resident swing by King Manor museum when you can. They also do workshops and programs for the children in the area.
Very nice place to have a date or picnic ☺️
Great place... Parks huge...kids will have fun...but the field is too much crowded...try to get here earlier to take the place in field...
The bathroom is not clean and now the park is allowing dogs on the park and the owners mostly not cleaning up after the dogs.
This wonderful and historical oasis. Full of rich history, its absolutely necessary that one finds the time to visit this gem thats hidden in Jamaica, QueensI have lived across the street from King Manor since I was a kid. I remember the Manor, when it was crumbling, there were holes in the roof. Thank you so much to the person, or individuals who are responsible for the beautification, and rebirth of this place.
Great place to visit, park area nice to visit also
A great Museum.Very large in area.Staff are very hospitable and supportive.It is also a great historical place to Visit because it was a home of Rufus King.He was also a senator of New York.One of signer of the constitution of United States of America. So every American should visit this place.
Love King Manor Museum! The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Great tours, events for families and a true place to find yourself in a piece of American history. Highly recommended. For those who posted negative reviews that is the park and not the house. Two separate entities and KMM has clean facilities. Ignore the low star ratings.
Not for nothing theyre not that smart there were some things that they needed to be corrected about. What more can you say.
Very nice my son loves it there and its clean .. Picnic area as well and soccer field 4 different kid areas with sprinkler
Small museum located in the heart of Jamaica within the park. Can be toured quickly when they are open.
I love that house, takes you back in time and into my imagination, well preserved. Tour guide was very good. Its a nice tour.
Nice park, great place to unwind during a lunch hour, always enough people around to be interesting, never so many it feels crowded
Its a very huge park. And its actually my second time there. A perfect spot for a BBQ.
Great tour. Interesting history my son was interested to learn more about history and he was so facinated about the activity that they did in the museum
Nice spot but wasnt able to go inside.

Bathroom filthy and too much homeless laying around. Also drugs in the place and lots of alcoholics. Would not recommend you to take your kids.

The tour guide was a young dude who was very knowledgeable about history. It was a pleasure speaking with and learning from him!

2022-06-25This museum is a great place. Its in the middle of busy Jamaica Avenue, but it has lots to offer. The tour is 30 mins however I was the only one there at the time and stayed for over an hour. The staff was amazing and answered all my questions. The cost was free but I gave a small donation and took some free gift cards! Overall I would highly recommend visiting this museum and supporting the staff for the work they do.

2022-05-30Its a very big park. Nice and quiet in the morning but little crowded in the evening. Good for walking, biking and riding scooter 🛴.

2021-03-16We had the priveledge of having a private tour because we were the only ones there that day. It was nice being able to ask all the questions we wanted and to have all the attention. My children love visiting museums and old historic homes to learn about how people lived years ago compared to today. These are trips that we treasure as a homeschooling family. I cant believe I grew up in Queens and did not know about a lot of these places that have been around for decades. Im grateful that they are being taken care of and preserved for future generations to come.

2017-07-07There is nothing better than walking in the past right in your own backyard. The docents are all so knowledgeable and passionate educators. Every First of the month they have something fun to do and twice a year King Manor hosts a festival that makes History come alive.
