Sixty years ago, in the midst of the Cold War, Queens hosted its second World’s Fair of the 20th century – with a theme of “Peace Through Understanding.” The fairgrounds are now Queens’ flagship park, Flushing Meadows Corona Park. In honor of the 60th anniversary of the 1964-65 fair, we’ll tour the park and see what was left behind, from the iconic Unisphere to specially commissioned artwork to lesser-known relics. Discover natural, recreational, historical and cultural sites throughout the park, as well as sites remaining from the 1939-40 World’s Fair, also held there.
