Take a stroll through Coney Island's amusement district--past, present and future--with the Coney Island History Project. Our unique walking tours are based on History Project Director Charles Denson's award-winning book "Coney Island: Lost and Found," the interviews from CIHP's Oral History Archive, and other primary sources.
Tours are led by historian Charles Denson or poet/teaching artist Amanda Deutch, who have over 100 years of family history in Coney Island! The 1-1/2 hour tour includes a private visit to the History Project's exhibit center and a talk on the exhibits and objects on display.
Sunday Walking Tours are scheduled during Coney Island's season, which runs from April through October. Tours are approximately one mile in length and wheelchair accessible. Tickets for Sunday tours are $20 and available by advance reservation. Throughout the year, individuals and groups may schedule a private walking tour and visit to our exhibition center on a weekday or weekend.
