Luna Park
Luna Park has a great selection of rides from mild to wild
The present day Luna park on Coney Island is a brand new resurrection of the original Luna park that operated from 1903 through 1944 when it was destroyed by a pair of fires. Today Luna Park offers a selection of 29 different rides ranging from mild to wild including the famous and historic Cyclone rollercoaster and a new rollercoaster called the Thunderbolt with speeds up to 55 mph and so many twist, turns, and drops that one feels like they are being swung about like a rag doll. The wide assortment of rides categorized as Extreme Thrill, High Thrill, Moderate Thrill and Mild Thrill will provide excitement and adventure for your entire family.
The name of the park is Latin for moon and and is derived from the extremely popular ride called "A Trip to the Moon" that was a mainstay of the original park. Neighbouring Deno's Wonder Wheel Amusement Park, a separate attraction which has many rides suited to young children, expands your choices.
There are a number of food concessions in the park where you can find burgers, hotdogs, salads, sushi, BBQ and more. Nathan's hotdogs are a must try treat.
To pay for the rides at the park you purchase a Luna Card with credits to pay for the rides. The more credits you buy the lower the price per ride. From Monday to Thursday you can also purchase a 4 hour unlimited ride pass. See their official website for up to day pricing.

Luna Park Reviews
Rated out of 5![]()
I’ve been coming to Coney Island for about 30 years, so it’s been bittersweet watching it evolve into Luna Park. On one hand, I’m genuinely happy it’s still here because there just aren’t enough places for kids and families to enjoy anymore. The park is clean, the rides are fun, and it’s great seeing such an iconic place still bringing people together.
The reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is the pricing. Individual rides add up incredibly fast. Baby rides are around $5 each, while rides for older kids and teens are typically $10–15 each. If you have more than one child, it becomes very expensive in a short amount of time.
They do offer an all-day wristband for around $48 (plus tax, if I remember correctly), but it only works in Parks A & C (or Parks 1 & 3). It doesn’t include the middle section, which has many of the family and younger kids’ attractions, along with iconic rides like the Wonder Wheel and the haunted house. That was disappointing because you’d expect an “all-day” pass to cover the whole park.
I still love Luna Park and have so many great memories here, but I wish it were more affordable for families. At the current prices, it almost feels like it’s becoming more of a destination for adults and groups rather than parents, aunts & uncles with multiple kids. I truly hope they consider more family-friendly pricing because this place deserves to be enjoyed by everyone.

Luna Park is super fun and free to parooz and wander around! This iconic amusement park is bright and retro, packed with rides, games, food and treats! Highly recommend taking the subway down to Coney Island, lots of cool views and it’s only $3. We really had fun next door at Deno’s, which is free to enter as well as the pier. Beautiful beach area, soft fluffy sand! So fun, a Coney Island and NYC gem!

Lots of fun! Decent selection of rides but credits & wristbands are expensive. They also have a completely different "park" in the middle that doesn't accept Luna Park credits or wristbands, you have to buy more overpriced credits to ride those rides in Deno's park, which includes the Wonder Wheel.

$8-$12 for all the big rides!!! It’s definitely fun and I had a great time it’s cool that you can pay for what you use but if you want to do everything under the sun you can get the whole pass park but it won’t include two large rides from the park in the middle.

Had an absolute blast! Amazing and friendly staff! Walk ons for all coasters! Wanted to stop by and wish the Cyclone an early happy 99th birthday today! It’s not the biggest park, not the fanciest collection of coasters, but it is one of the best customer service experiences I’ve ever dealt with. Pure fun and I will definitely be making return trips down the road. Seriously, thanks for a great day!
