"Always wanted to see this place. Glad we made the trip. Very cool retro vibe. Prices weren't bad at all . Amazing fireworks show on the beach in August. It was neat to see places/ spots I've seen in the movies scenes. I'd visit again. And yes Nathan's hot chili dogs were delicious ! Go! And enjoy"

"Best place I've visited since I started coming New York, they have countless rides, big and small, alot of games and prizes, lots of entertainment. I went on the slingshot and had the time of my life. When you're up there, you could almost see the entire city loll. Overall, 5/5 stars, the staff were very kind, helpful and pleasant. My advice, go from early in the morning, the park's very big and you will need the whole day to explore lol. A must visit in NY❤❤"
