Coney Island

Coney Island is a magical place and iconic hot spot often featured in films, television, and plays as New York City’s playground. Play some carnival games at the historical amusement park, see the views from the ferris wheel, take a leisurely stroll down the boardwalk, and then chill down by the beautiful beach. Coney Island is also home to the Brooklyn Cyclones minor league baseball team, and unlike Yankee stadium and Citi Field, MCU Park boasts views of the sparkling ocean waters. Curious what’s under that big blue ocean? Check out NYC’s only aquarium at Coney Island’s New York Aquarium, where over 260 aquatic wildlife continue to promote conservation action.
