CONEY ISLAND MUSEUM
Since 1980, Coney Island USA has told the story of why Coney
Island is important enough to one day retake its place at
the cultural center of New York. The Coney Island Museum is
at the heart of that mission. Its the only public repository
documenting the history and culture of this important neighborhood.
We fight to keep the history of this critical piece of American
popular culture from being lost to the inevitable changes
facing Coney Island today.
Come join us Saturdays and Sundays 12pm-5pm, year-round. Admission
is $.99 cheap!
Our Ground Floor Giftshop is open Wednesday - Friday, 2pm-8pm, Saturdays and Sundays, 12pm - 8pm!
