Overview & visitor information

Queens Center occupies a prominent Elmhurst site where Queens Boulevard, Woodhaven Boulevard and the Long Island Expressway meet. The enclosed four-storey building is one of the borough’s principal regional malls, reached directly by the M and R subway lines at Woodhaven Boulevard.

Its current directory combines Macy’s with Apple, Adidas, JD Sports, Pandora, Sephora, Victoria’s Secret, Zara and many other clothing, footwear, jewellery, beauty and technology businesses. Escalators rise through a busy central atrium, and store maps divide the dense mix by level.

Food counters and full-service restaurants include both quick meals and longer seated options, giving the mall substantial activity beyond retail. The intersection is crowded and the interior can be busiest on weekends and holidays; the official hours page separates centre times from individual store and restaurant schedules.
