Union Turnpike–Kew Gardens is a station on the IND Queens Boulevard Line of the New York City Subway. Located at Union Turnpike and Queens Boulevard in Kew Gardens, Queens, it is served by the E and F trains at all times.
This express station has four tracks and two island platforms. A tower is located at the north end of the northbound platform and is active only on weekdays. This station is unusual in that its mezzanine is split in two halves. This is because at this location Union Turnpike crosses under Queens Boulevard but over the Queens Boulevard Line tracks; the mezzanine is at the level of Union Turnpike, one half on either side. Several stairs lead down from sidewalk level to walkways on either side of the turnpike, which themselves lead to one of the mezzanines.
Nearby points of interest include Queens Borough Hall, Queens Criminal Court, and the headquarters of JetBlue Airways.
