Coney Island

Beach Full day difficulty: Easy with kids: yes
Coney Island

Brooklyn's classic beach and amusement park, with its 1927 wooden roller coaster, the Ferris wheel and a boardwalk of planks facing the sea. Hot dogs, cotton candy and the roar of the rides: pure summer on the shores of the Atlantic.

The pop wink

The final fight in «Spider-Man: Homecoming» takes place on the beach next to Coney Island, when the plane crashes into the sand. Your son can walk that same boardwalk among the lights and roller coasters.

With kids

  • Riding the Cyclone, the rattling 1927 wooden roller coaster
  • Eating a Nathan's hot dog, famous for more than a hundred years
  • Dipping your feet in the Atlantic and jumping the cold waves
  • Finding on the boardwalk the setting of the Spider-Man: Homecoming finale
Accessibility: All ages; rides have height limits for the more intense ones

With family

  • All riding the Ferris wheel together at dusk
  • Visiting the New York Aquarium, right next door, and seeing the penguins
  • Walking the boardwalk barefoot with an ice cream in hand
  • Watching the summer Friday fireworks from the sand
