Hop to the Carnival

Step right up and get your tickets! For two weekends in April, it’s carnival time at the Queens County Farm Museum. Spend the day playing fun midway games, going on hayrides, winning prizes, chowing down on cotton candy and being amazed at the magic show (2, 3, 4 and 5 pm in the barn). Not enough excitement? Whiskers the Easter Bunny amps up the fun on April 23, from noon to 4 pm, when he hops on by and leads children on a barnyard egg hunt, a few turns of the Bunny Hop, a game of egg toss and a visit with the farm animals.

Admission to the carnival is $10 per person and includes all carnival rides; the Barnyard Easter Egg Hunt is $5 per person.

Queens County Farm Museum Carnival [73-50 Little Neck Parkway at Elkmont Avenue in Floral Park, (718) 347-3276] April 9, 10, 16 and 17, from 11 am-6 pm. For more information, visit www.queensfarm.org.

Basketball City

Beginning June 2024, Basketball City will be running a full weekly schedule of Summer Basketball Camps. We will have our professional staff of coaches teaching your kids weekly. Our camps are designed to teach kids the skills they need to become a better basketball player by using specific drills and fitness work that focus on the fundamentals of the game in a fun, safe and inclusive environment. &nbsp;The camps run weekly varying in time and the number of days for ages 6-17. We have 3-, 4- &amp; 5-day options with times ranging from 9-4pm or 9-3pm. Every camper will receive a jersey once they are registered and arrive. We are limiting the number of camp participants each week to ensure a safe and healthy environment for your children. The limited number of campers will also ensure that your child receives individual attention needed to improve their basketball skills. Our camps in the past typically include current and past NBA players and a collaboration with the Jr. Knicks, the National Basketball Players Association, as well as 5 Star Basketball, and our ever-popular Basketball City FUNdamentals Camp along with our Jr. NBA/NBA Cares NBA Draft/Skills Challenge Camp with future NBA talent.
