For a family of 5 I'd recommend staying in Manhattan. Flushing Meadows doesn't ahem exactly offer the best parts of New York city. If it's your first time I'm sure your family would have much more fun in Manhattan. To get out to Maker Faire you can take the 7 train from Midtown (I think it's $2.25 per person). It's probably about a 30 minute subway ride with a good view of queens and the Manhattan skyline.<br>
Also, just to set expectations NYC hotels can be shockingly expensive (and small).<br>
Any other questions just shout.</p>

This will be our first Makers Faire. Can't wait. You can see a list of makers attending here http://makerfaire.com/newyork/2011/makerinfo/ but you have to browse one of the categories and it seems a bit slow.</p>
