We're happy to announce that the Coney Island History Project is extending its 2025 exhibition center season past Labor Day Weekend! The exhibit center will remain open free of charge on Saturdays and Sundays from 1-7 PM through September 28th.
This season's special exhibits on view in our Wonder Gallery are Charles Denson's Coney Island Streets: 1965–1975 and Amanda Deutch's Brooklyn Wilds: Cyanotypes and Poetry. Also on view at the exhibition center are historic artifacts, photographs, maps, ephemera and films of Coney Island's colorful past. Visitors are invited to take free souvenir photos with the Spook-A-Rama Cyclops and Coney Island's only original Steeplechase horse from the legendary ride that gave Steeplechase Park its name.
Many thanks to Rossilynne Skena Culgan for her article in Time Out New York about Charles Denson's photography exhibit and including it in their best exhibitions guide.
Hosted by Deno's Wonder Wheel Park, The Coney Island History Project exhibition center is located on West 12th Street at the entrance to Deno's Wonder Wheel, just a few steps off the Boardwalk.
