Re: Directions to NYC Hall of Science-
Mike from #810 gave pretty good directions for a Long Islander!
I couldn't have given better... but do note:
By car take any of the bridges into Queens, Triboro, Whitestone or T-Neck. The best approach is from the Grand Centeral Parkway South after LIE (Long Island Expressway) West/108th St Exit- sharp right off at exit or take T-neck bridge to LIE West and take 108 St. Exit- sharp right also.
Look for the Hall of Science signs. The entrance to the parking lot is 111th St. One day a week it is free admissiion after 3pm (I think).
If you are staying in the City #7 train to 111th St. or Shea Stadium stop will work.
