Take the Downtown E or F trains from Kew Gardens-Union Turnpike to Forest Hills-71st Avenue.
Transfer at Forest Hills-71st Avenue to the Downtown M or R trains to Woodhaven Boulevard.
Late nights (11:30 PM to 5:30 AM), when the M and R aren't running, you can take the E the whole way there. The E makes all local stops in Queens when the M and R aren't running.
You can take the E train (of the A-C-E, the blue line) all the way there. Take the Uptown E from 34th Street-Penn Station to Woodhaven Boulevard.You'll exit the subway on Queens Boulevard, between Woodhaven Boulevard and 92nd Street. Walk half a block east to 92nd Street, then follow 92nd Street's crooked path north. It runs right through the center of Queens Center Mall.
The closest subway stop is the Howard Beach Station on the A train (of the A-C-E, the blue line). You can take the shuttle, called the AirTrain, from inside the JFK terminals to the Howard Beach Station.You can also take the AirTrain to the Sutphin Boulevard-Archer Avenue Station on the E train and the J-Z (the brown line). But the AirTrain ride from JFK to the Sutphin Boulevard-Archer Avenue Station is almost 4 times as long as the ride from JFK to the Howard Beach Station.
The closest station is the Woodhaven Boulevard Station on the M (of the B-D-F-M, the orange line) and the R(of the N-R-Q-W, the yellow line). The E (of the A-C-E, the blue line) also stops at Woodhaven Boulevard at night (11 PM to 5:30 AM), when the M and R aren't running.The Woodhaven Boulevard Station is on Queens Boulevard, right in front of the mall.The second closest subway line is the 7 (the purple line) to Junction Boulevard. You'll exit the subway at the intersection of Roosevelt Avenue and Junction Boulevard. Walk about 0.5 miles south on Junction Boulevard (you will know which way is south because the next intersection will be Junction Boulevard and 40th Road. If you walk 1 block and reach 38th Avenue, then you've gone north). When you reach the Long Island Expressway, the mall will be on your right side.
It is a bit over 2 miles. If it will help any you are a lot closer to the Fresh Pond Road station on the M train.
