What to do and see in Brooklyn, New York (NY): The Best Water & Amusement Parks
It seems like most folks have a grandmother, great-uncle or some other distant relative that used to live in Brooklyn, or perhaps a friend that lives there now. In the early 1900s, it was a mecca for immigrants arriving via Ellis Island. A hundred years later, young professionals and artists left pricey Manhattan digs for Brooklyn's cheaper and more expansive space. Neighborhoods like Brooklyn Heights and Park Slope, which had fallen into disrepair over the years, were restored and reborn as funky enclaves. Walk or bike over the historic Brooklyn Bridge (or ride the subway) to Brooklyn Heights for a stroll along the Promenade and breathtaking views of the Manhattan skyline. Meander through Prospect Park and the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens for a taste of nature in the urban wilds. Catch a performance at the world-famous Brooklyn Academy of Music. From the delicious Italian restaurants of Bensonhurst to the Irish bars that line the avenues of Bay Ridge, from the hotdogs and rollercoasters of Coney Island to the bagels and handball courts of Greenpoint, Brooklyn is a state of mind as well as a dynamic community. Discover why, no matter where people move on to, they remain Brooklynites at heart.

Built in 1927 this wooden roller coaster is still amazing. It has a good amount of dips and was a good length. Ride is 10$ and the staff was very friendly and was focused on safety. This is a must if in Coney Island.

3. Adventurer's Family Entertainment Center

My sister and I who are older had a lot of fun here. We did the wonder wheel and unfortunately I am afraid of heights and chose the line on accident where it swings and it realllllyyyy swings . The lines were not long at all when we went either.
