Food and Neighborhood

The New York Aquarium is located in the heart of Coney Island. You can take a walk on the boardwalk to Luna Park or Brighton Beach. In the summer month’s you can enjoy fireworks on Fridays’s at 9:45pm and concerts held atleast once a week. And for those daredevils you can ride the Cyclone – at your own risk.

The aquarium has a food court where you can purchase soft drinks, pretzels, nachos, chicken fingers, fries, popcorn and ice cream. If you wish to eat outside of the aquarium there are lots of options right on the boardwalk, such as the world’s famous Nathan’s and other fast food joints. There is McDonald’s on Mermaid and Cropsey Ave. There is also a Popeyes and several Deli’s and Pizzeria’s on Surf Ave, moments away from the beach.

Getting here is easy! But might take a while.
To get to the NYA you can take the Q train or the F train to West 8th Street, which directly takes you to the aquarium and the boardwalk. You can also take the D train and the N train to Stillwell Ave and either walk to the NYA or take a train one stop to West 8th St. Some buses that go there (B36, B68)
