Kew Gardens is on the LIRR Main Line into Penn Station, which is 4 tracks, lots of trains bypass the station and service is hourly or less.
The station has two side platforms which are short, so only the first 4 Cars platform and doors open. The station has a few parking spaces on the outbound platform, but no real parking lot.
There is a station house along the inbound platform, with a ticket office that is still open during morning peak hours (6:10-9:50 AM). There is also a Full Service TVM near the station house.
The station has no over or underpass, so to change directions one must use 119th Street's bridge.
