"Fun Packed Area"

Here on Surf Avenue you will find many adventures waiting to be unfolded. The famous New York Aquarium is located on Surf Avenue And West 8th Street directly across from the infamous Coney Island Theme Park. The New York Aquarium is a great family attraction for people who live here and those visiting. Come and see the great Sea Creatures and learn about them and their habitat.

"Lots of things to do!"

Our friends brought us to Surf Avenue while visiting a few summers ago. My husband and I just loved this part of Brooklyn! We walked around Keyspan Park which is beautiful! Surf Avenue is also by Coney Island. Tons of people of all ages with many exciting things to do! We strongly recommend others to go!

"There once was a trolley."

Now the whole area is waiting for a renovation. The New York Aquarium is on Surf Ave as well as Nathans Famous hot dogs.
Astroland Amusement Park which some still refer to as Coney Island is located here.
There is also the Coney Island Museum which is rather small but interesting as you get to see what Coney Island once was.
