About
Luna Park at Coney Island stands as New York City's most iconic amusement destination, where the Atlantic Ocean meets timeless thrills. This historic seaside park houses the world-famous Cyclone roller coaster, a wooden coaster that's been delivering heart-pounding rides since 1927, alongside the modern Thunderbolt coaster that adds contemporary excitement to the classic boardwalk experience.
The park offers dozens of rides ranging from gentle family attractions to adrenaline-pumping adventures, ensuring fun for visitors of all ages and thrill preferences. Beyond the rides, Luna Park captures the spirit of old-school Coney Island with carnival games, classic boardwalk food, and souvenir shops.
The park's location right on the Coney Island Boardwalk means you can easily combine your visit with beach time, a stroll along the famous boardwalk, or exploration of nearby attractions like the New York Aquarium. The Ford Amphitheater hosts concerts and events throughout the season, adding live entertainment to the mix.
Operating seasonally from spring through fall, Luna Park is easily accessible via subway, making it a perfect day trip from Manhattan or anywhere in the NYC area. The combination of historic charm, modern amenities, and that unmistakable Coney Island atmosphere creates an experience that's both nostalgic and fresh, whether you're a first-time visitor or returning to relive childhood memories.
