Queens County Farm Museum has been farmed since 1697, and this hour-long program is all about its newest residents: seven American LaMancha baby goats. Educators explain the breed's history and behavior while kids observe the kids up close. If you have an animal-obsessed child, this is a sweet, small-group way to spend a Queens morning, with the fall maize maze season on the same grounds.
What to expect
A guided, hour-long education session with the goats at the farm, including fun facts and time to observe their behavior. Afterward, families can explore the farmyard, fields and historic buildings. Educators share the heritage breed's backstory and answer kids' questions as the goats move around.

- Buy tickets ahead, since sessions are small.
- Wear closed-toe shoes for walking around the farmyard.
- It suits curious kids and animal lovers of any age.
- The farm's Amazing Maize Maze runs in the fall, so check if you want to add it on.
