Luna Park is an amusement park in Coney Island, the historic beach town in Brooklyn. It first opened back in 1903, and the park is celebrated for its heritage as one of the first amusement parks in the United States. Today, it’s known for its seaside rides and old-timey charm, and especially as the home of the Cyclone, the wooden roller coaster built in 1927.

The best window for visiting Coney Island is Labor Day through Memorial Day. That’s when you’ll find the best beach weather, and the boardwalk and other beachside attractions will be open all week long. The shoulder seasons are quieter, with many establishments only open on the weekends; Luna Park has limited operating hours then, and it’s closed during the late fall and winter.

Yes, Luna Park is a great choice for families with children, though keep in mind that many rides have height requirements. For smaller kids, stick to gentler rides like Fire Patrol or the Seaside Swing. Luna Park also offers customizable birthday party packages, which include pizza, decorations, and access to rides and games.

Yes, Luna Park is partially accessible, though not all rides can accommodate visitors using wheelchairs or with limited mobility. Check with guest services when you arrive for information on specific attractions. Service animals are welcome (one animal per guest), and most restrooms within the park can accommodate visitors with disabilities.

No, reservations aren’t needed to visit Luna Park. If you’re planning to buy an all-day wristband, though, it’s best to purchase it online for a discounted price. This is also a time-saver, since you can avoid long lines at the park entrance.
