Deno's is one of those Coney Island mainstays that conjures up a certain nostalgia and lets you leave your worries behind for awhile enjoying a day of happiness. Coney Island is one of New York's sacred places, and Deno's and the Wonder Wheel should be where you take out-of-town visitors to experience "The Real New York" as opposed to Times Square! Deno's reminds me of simpler and happier times as a child and I'm fortunate to created memories here as a father by bringing my son to Deno's from the time he could walk; I'll certainly cherish all the smiles the children's park brought to his face and I hope I have the opportunity to take my niece and future generations of kids in our family down to Deno's in the years to come. Coney Island, and Deno's, are a throwback to the best of New York City: a place where anyone from any race, religion, and social strata can find reprieve from the hustle and grind of our demanding city. May Deno's continue to thrive forever under the stewardship of the Vourderis who have brought so much joy to generations of New Yorkers and people worldwide who've made the trip to our shared pocket of wonderful in Southern Brooklyn.

To make it even more confusing, Cyclone is part of Luna Park but sells a separate card for the Cyclone only (booth in front of the ride). Crazy. Deno's has the legendary Wonderwheel and a few other small rides. Luna Park has way more: Cyclone, SlingShot, Thunderbolt, ElectroSpin, etc. Also worth noting, there's no clear indication that you are walking around Deno's or Luna Park. Deno's is kinda embedded and Luna Park kinda surrounds Deno's. It's all VERY confusing. All that said, both offer an awesome time. Just do it.

I took my partner here for them to do the VIP package behind the scenes with sharks and it was fantastic!! The tickets were evenly priced , the staff were so helpful and knowledgeable. Mall was awesome so shout out to her for such a great experience and you can tell she really loves her job AND the animals . The exhibits were clean, well maintained and the animals were all healthy and visible. I got to learn and see so many sea creatures that I wouldn't normally had I not gone here. I can tell the staff love what they do. This was also a decent place for kids and it didn't even bother me that they were there. The food and gift shop were decently priced but of course it's where they make money to take care of the animals so we did spend some coins . Overall 10/10 experience and I would definitely go again if they add another exhibit.

I love that they have slippers you can use before entering in the bathroom to keep your socks sanitary. I also love how all the structure is well padded to minimize injuries. Lots of fun activities ranging for kids 2-8yrs old. Parents can enjoy eating/snacking while being able to see their kids in the open concept layout. Its awesome that they allow the host to bring outside food in without charge which is rare these days. Kids can go back and forth from the playspace to party room.

The…read morespace is very well organized, with lots of fun and thoughtfully designed areas for different activities. It's a lovely and comfortable place to spend quality time with children. The only thing we felt was missing was a bit more space for older kids who enjoy climbing, crawling, and more active play. A larger climbing or adventure area would make it even more exciting for them. Overall, we had a great experience and left with very positive impressions. Definitely recommend!

We were taking a break from all the misery surrounding my wonderful Mom's death & furneral. I loved her so very much. So this was a good break from the misery & heartbreak. Post-bumper cars it was nice to visit good ole Nathan's again have my old fav a Soft Shell Crab sandwich, two hot dogs, & their great Crink cut fries. Anyway back to the Skooter place. Old vintage bumper cars go round & round while you try to bump your brother & wife. There are always strangers who somehow get a kick off ramming you, in a painful whiplash way....but again this is a bad area of Crooklyn. At least the now have seat restraints that will stop you from flipping out of the car, but watch for a headache when somebody rams you hard. Try to avoid if possible. Eldorado, is an old "friend" & has been here even before I was a teen working at the next door now defunct Carvel's Ice-cream store. We got used to hearing the "Bump you Ass Off" & various music at that remote era of rock & disco. This was not a safe area, and I/we too many precautions while we went to work there. I already reviewed my KUNG FU techniques which I practiced with this Crazy Japanese guy at the now defunct King's Plaza Carvel. At the King's Plaza Carvel, I also worked with Crazy Mr. Squirrel & the nutty Eson brothers. One was an Ex-cop & the other totally wacked out. At the Coney one, we had baseball bats behind the counter & a riot gate. The manager was also armed. My insane brother, who did football, once almost ran through a wall there. Again, it was a crazy NYC crew. The owner once offered me, my own store, but I decided to go to College, rather than be a budding Icecream millionaire like him....now I think that was a mistake. Anyway, the Eldorado did send us a stream of customers, even in the coldness of winter, as well as, the nearby Nathan's. I grew nostalgic as I bumped my ass off as the memories of bygone decades raced past me to 35 years ago.... when CONEY ISLAND was still KING!!! Now it seems on it's last legs, so please support Nathan's & Eldorado.....

SOLID INDOOR PLAY PLACE FOR PRESCHOOLERS…read more It's a cool space for kids to burn off some energy when the weather outdoors is less than ideal. We lucked up and got parking right in front. The entry price of $15 for a child and adult was on par what they offered (ie small ball pit, padded jungle gym, arcade). We went on a hot summer weekend with 2 kids and 3 adults. Though they were hosting a birthday party, the place was not packed at all. The toddler area was for babies and the arcade ended up being the highlight for my group. The kids both age 3 enjoyed themselves thoroughly. Wish that I had read the rave reviews about the food before I went; might return to try the food. It doesn't take much to entertain a preschooler so stop by especially if you are looking to avoid the chaos of the bigger, more popular indoor spots.

I have taken my daughter here numerous times. She seems to love this play space. The price here is…read morereasonable and you can stay the whole day here. The arcade is additional cost compare to admission to the soft play area. My daughter love climbing the soft play area and going down the slides. She also loves the ride and the ticketed games. The food here although pricey is relatively very good. Russian/ Mediterranean inspired food choices along with American fast food flare. I recommend this place for the kids. On weekdays, the play card is double the value, recommend to buy on weekdays. The place does get very overcrowded and busy on weekends. The location of the place is under an alley bridge way, which might be a little sketchy at night time. Security wise, I do recommend, you do not leave your child unattended. The do not have the best security service. The establishment loses one star for their security protocol. I feel the establish can do better to make parents feel more at ease. But of course it's always the parents job to watch and oversee their kids while they play.

We first strolled the place to see what we wanted to do (not busy at all at opening time and basically no lines until the afternoon). Then we decided to just buy a $100 card (with $15 bonus in it) and used it as a credit card to buy rides AND food. If you're planning to stay all day long and fit as many rides as you can, you should get a wristband. Otherwise, if you're just going low key just for 4-5 hours like we did, and are satisfied with a few rides, games and food, paying as you go will be cheaper. Rides are VERY well kept and look fairly new, and restrooms are available (with drinking water).

Very unpleasant experience with a front desk staff member…read more He touched my personal belongings without permission, which is completely inappropriate. When I asked who he was, he replied "it doesn't matter" instead of properly identifying himself. Later he gave an unclear name (Anton/Anthony) and claimed to be a manager. Instead of apologizing, he spoke in a rude and disrespectful manner. This kind of behavior is unacceptable. People come to the gym to focus and feel comfortable, not to deal with this kind of attitude. I hope management addresses this.
