Now that the weather has turned, we spent the day out on the Coney Island boardwalk and ended up at the Coney Island Amusement Park. My husband and I had our first date there where we rode the Cyclone together. This time we went with our now 20 month old son and he rode on his first two rides with us. How the time has passed!
Entrance to the amusement park is free and rides are about $3 each which isn’t bad. We saw a sign that said they were rebuilding Luna Park (a new section of amusements) with 19 new rides come May 29th! We found that very exciting and we tried to peek into the lot where they are doing construction but all we saw was dirt. It seems like they have a lot of work to do if the grand opening is really going to be on May 29th, 2010, so we’ll see.
The boardwalk has benches to sit and view the beach and ocean, an outdoor beer garden and some nice restaurants. So take your date to the beach, go for dinner and drinks (or a picnic) and then go on the Cyclone or the Wonder Wheel together. You will have a terrific time. You can play the games and win her a teddy bear. Then go into one of those photo booths and get a row of pictures together to remind you of your great date. I highly recommend it!
You can see our brief photo slideshow of our family amusement park date below. Enjoy! And take advantage of the great weather to get out and do something new on your date.
My Best in Love,
Paulette
