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.

After September they are opening only on weekends (with some Halloween themed “installations,” mostly for small kids).
We visited on a slightly cooler day and when one the main trains that take you there (Q) wasn’t running to the nearby station, so there were no crowds and we basically didn’t have to wait to ride any attraction (except for the karting racing course, even though the line wasn’t long and a lot of people ride at the same time, it is a “slow process,” so be patient for this one). The karting track could benefit from re-painting the “items” that you should either try to collect or avoid, as it was almost indiscernible.
Before visiting the park, I used to think that there weren’t that many attractions, but they have a decent selection.
If you love adrenaline, here are some thrilling experiences you must try:
Zenobio, Thunderbolt, Cyclone, Steeplechase, Luna 360, Electro Spin and the Atlantic Aviator.
There were some attractions not included with the 100$* bracelet, as the Wonder Wheel.
*If you buy your ticket online using their website, you pay 79$ instead of 99$ when buying at the counter in person.
My partner and I spent around 4 hours and almost got to do all of the attractions we wanted.
A final note is that there is a disjointed experience regarding the “lockers” situation. There are plenty of rides where they have free storage for your belongings, but there are many others where they have 2$ lockers, and I believe you have to pay with a card or tap to pay device.
Most of the workers are very nice, so please be kind to them! Remember that while you are there to have a great time, they are simply doing their job, so don’t give them a hard time if they have the enforce rules they don’t create.

Fun place to spend time with family and friends. Kids enjoyed unlimited rides. All rides are safe and was being checked nonstop for their proper functioning by park staff. Area is clean. No garages nor messy grounds nor smelly left overs noted/found.

It was fun going with my husband and little sister the games were pretty cool and intense. It’s better to go in the summer around 6 pm to enjoy rides and the heat then watch the sunset and all the rides at night.

🎢 This amusement park has rides for all ages — from thrilling roller coasters to more moderate attractions, there’s really something for everyone! 🎠🎡
You’ll also find plenty of food options: snacks, sandwiches, sweet and savory meals, cold drinks, and hot beverages 🍔🍦🥤.
The park operates on a prepaid card system — you need to buy a plastic card and load it with money to use for the rides. Be careful though: there are two different amusement parks right next to each other, and they use different cards! Some rides require the red card, others the blue card, so make sure you get the right one depending on where you go. 🎟️🔴🔵
There’s a subway station right nearby, which makes it super easy to get to the park 🚇.
And just steps away, you’ll find the seaside, with long beaches and nice boardwalks — perfect for relaxing in the sun ☀️🏖️.
All in all, a fun and convenient place for a day out with friends!
