Coney Island USA is a not-for-profit arts organization at 1208 Surf Avenue, home to the Coney Island Circus Sideshow, Mermaid Parade, Burlesque at the Beach, the Coney Island Museum, and the Coney Island Film Festival. The museum is a cool place with a lot to see, and the sideshow features really funny and talented folks. The performers, staff, and management are wonderful, and the shows—especially the Burlesque Show—are excellent. The Freak Bar and gift shop are also great. Visitors recommend allowing plenty of time for parking and walking around for great photos. It is always a fun time.
Such an amazing part of NYC history.From the Museum and the Sideshow. So much I never knew about my own city.Plus the gift shop is filled with really cool and unique things made by local artists.

The performers, staff & management are wonderful. The shows - especially the Burlesque Show - are excellent. The Freak Bar and even the gift shop are great. And John Wick is the coolest cat ever.
