Our family spent a relaxing afternoon exploring Coney Island. Coney Island brings back the nostalgia of the classic rides that you remember from your childhood.

The hard decision is deciding which area to start in first. Guest can chose rides at Coney Island or swim at Sunlight Pool. They can also purchase a combo ticket to enjoy the best of both worlds.

We decided to start at Coney Island and then head over to Sunlight Pool after a few rides.

There are a few thrill rides for guests to enjoy. We appreciated that the lines were pretty short for all of the rides that we chose that day.

Wipe Out is the newest thrill ride at Coney Island this year. It twists and turns in angles that keep riders on the edge…literally.

I can vouch that this ride will take you out of your comfort zone!

There are rides that are suited for every age and thrill level. Guests who do not plan on riding rides are not charged a fee and there are also free live performances several times a day as well. * There is a parking fee.

After riding a few rides we decided to cool off at Sunlight Pool. Sunlight Pool was originally built in 1925 and is STILL the world’s largest flat surfaced, recirculating pool.

You know the pool is HUGE when the lifeguards have a rowboat in the middle of the pool.

We missed the show at Moonlight Gardens that day but the building brought back memories or my grandparent’s 50th wedding anniversary celebration and my senior prom that both took place there.
