Because here&#8217;s my best tips for visiting Coney Island on a budget&#8230;go on opening day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Luna Park most years offers <strong>Free Admission<\/strong> on Opening Day with a small donation to charity (per person)! This is most definitely the best way to visit Coney Island affordably! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you miss opening day, then the best way to save money at Coney Island is by buying a wristband. This give you unlimited rides in a designated time period (2 hours, 4 hours, etc). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But there is so much more to Coney Island than just the amusement rides. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How-to-Get-to-Coney-Island\"><\/span>How to Get to Coney Island<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Take the subway to <strong>Coney Island- Stillwell Ave station<\/strong> on the  D F N Q; or <strong>West 8th NY Aquarium station<\/strong> on the  N Q trains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t miss out on the best things to do in Coney Island, below!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.atinytrip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/train-roller-coaster.jpg?fit=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"train ride for little kids\" class=\"wp-image-4761\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The-Best-Things-to-Do-in-Coney-Island\"><\/span>The Best Things to Do in Coney Island<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are several attractions to visit in Coney Island. In addition to the Luna Park amusement park, there are actually several separate attractions not covered under the Luna Park tickets. These include Deno&#8217;s Wonder Wheel and the Coney Island Museum, amongst others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1-Get-dizzy-at-the-Luna-Park-Amusement-Park\"><\/span>1.

It might even be the best amusement park in New York City! There is just nothing quite like riding the infamous Cyclone, the dizzifying Tickler, and the classic amusement park rides, right on the beach!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-Ride-Denos-Wonder-Wheel\"><\/span>2. Ride Deno&#8217;s Wonder Wheel<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are actually a few seperate purveyors of rides in Coney Island. The other famous attraction that you must not miss, is Deno&#8217;s Wonder Wheel! This is a classic ferris wheel ride, and boast a great view of southern Brooklyn from its beachside location!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Deno&#8217;s wonder wheel is appropriate for younger children as well, and they have a few extra rides in the same complex you can check out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-Check-out-the-Coney-Island-Museum\"><\/span>3. Check out the Coney Island Museum<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Coney Island Museum is run by <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.coneyisland.com\/tourist-information\" target=\"_blank\">Coney Island USA<\/a>. It has some old school circus paraphanelia and memorobilia from Coney Island through the ages. They run weekly shows on the weekends that are super affordable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This non profit organization, also runs the famous annual Mermaid Parade, down Surf Avenue, every June. It is the official kickoff for the summer season!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4-Watch-a-Baseball-Game-at-MCU-Park\"><\/span>4. Watch a Baseball Game at MCU Park<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>MCU Park, home of the Brooklyn Cyclones minor league baseball team is on the far west side of Coney Island. You can grab inexpensive baseball tickets, making it a perfect family activity during the spring and summer baseball season!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.atinytrip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/aquarium-2.jpg?fit=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"ny aquarium seal show\" class=\"wp-image-4759\"\/><figcaption>show at the aquarium<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5-Visit-the-New-York-Aquarium\"><\/span>5.

As a matter of fact you can enter from the boardwalk directly via a walkway (or enter via the parking lot from Surf Avenue). It is easily accessible via the subway across the street as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The aquarium entrance tickets includes the new shark tank exhibit and even free shows with the sea lions included in the price of admission. You can take your time walking around and discovering different types of fish and sea animals! During summers and weekends there is also a petting tank, where you can touch a starfish!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6-Swim-at-Coney-Island-Beach\"><\/span>6. Swim at Coney Island Beach<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Coney Island Beach is one of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.atinytrip.com\/the-ultimate-guide-to-brooklyn-beaches\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"5218\">Brooklyn&#8217;s best beaches<\/a>! It has a perpetually fun vibe where you can lounge by the ocean and play in the sand. Right behind you is everything you might need on a New York City adventure, including food, shopping, and amenities such as changing rooms and restrooms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you forget an umbrella, a towel, a hat or sunglasses&#8230;all those can be found between the subway and the beach! In typical New York fashion, everything is walking distance, but do note that the sidewalks get crowded in the summer!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.atinytrip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/brooklyn-beach-coney-island-nathans-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5233\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7-Walk-the-Boardwalk-and-Eat-a-Hotdog\"><\/span>7.

What says summer more than a lazy walk on the boardwalk? Grabbing a hot dog and cotton candy! There is no shortage of fried food on the Coney Island boardwalk! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On a beautiful sunny day in New York City, nothing quite beats heading out of the urban jungle and down to the beach!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you&#8217;ve worked up an appetite, don&#8217;t miss out on institutions such as Nathan&#8217;s hot dogs! Or grab a typical slice of New York Pizza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Visiting-Coney-Island-Luna-Park-with-Little-Kids\"><\/span>Visiting Coney Island Luna Park with Little Kids<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Because our kids are still young, we usually frequent <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"the beach (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.atinytrip.com\/the-ultimate-guide-to-brooklyn-beaches\/\" target=\"_blank\">the beach<\/a> and boardwalk, and have been to the aquarium several times. So going to Luna Park was a huge treat!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rides that are more appropriate for younger kids, are towards the beach side. That&#8217;s where we spent a majority of our time. In particular, there are several rides that are great for the 4-8 year old set, and a couple that are tame enough for two and three year olds with no height limit at all. (Although, I can&#8217;t say I would go out of my way to take a toddler there.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, our older kids were just barely tall enough to ride the Tickler, and despite the long line, were insistent on going! In retrospect, I think it was too much for them, and they were pretty dizzy afterward. But it was such an amazing day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.atinytrip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/coney-island-swings.jpg?fit=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"coney island on a budget swings ride\" class=\"wp-image-4760\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Saving-Money-at-an-Amusement-Park\"><\/span>Saving Money at an Amusement Park<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Buying-tickets-on-a-budget\"><\/span>Buying tickets on a budget<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, for younger kids, I would recommend buying just a few tickets for the rides they are able to go on. For older kids, a day pass is more likely a better deal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The earlier in the day you get there, the less people will be around. I definitely suggest spending the first half of your day there, and then moving on to the beach or something else as it gets busy in the afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Save-money-on-Food\"><\/span>Save money on Food<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Coney Island is known for hot dogs! There are several fast food dining spots along the boardwalk, but if your little one is more used to organic applesauce pouches and the like, then pack those with you! We pretty much always pack a picnic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Save-money-on-souvenirs\"><\/span>Save money on souvenirs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are so many little plastic toys and stuffed animals the kids will ask for when you go to an amusement park! Save money by bringing some new toys with you (that you bought at a discount). Or even better, remind your kids that your focus is on enjoying the experience! It&#8217;s never to early to start the conversation on experiences vs. things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.atinytrip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/coney-island-boardwalk.jpg?fit=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"coney island on a budget from the boardwalk\" class=\"wp-image-4762\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking for more of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.atinytrip.com\/the-best-things-to-do-in-nyc-with-kids\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"4807\">Best Things to Do in New York City with Kids<\/a>?
