You and your family will have a great time at Coney Island, where famous amusement park rides, waterfront views and delicious hot dogs and cotton candy await. Don't forget to hop in line for a ride on the historic Cyclone roller coaster. Head to the Prospect Park Zoo afterward to immerse yourself in nature. More than 400 animals are on display, thanks to the Wildlife Conservation Society. Take a trip to one of the largest art museums in the country, the Brooklyn Museum.
You'll find everything from ancient to contemporary art in this 560,000-square-foot space. Then treat the kids to a ride on Jane's Carousel, a classic 1922 merry-go-round with hand-carved horses and a stunning view of the East River. Toward the end of the night, enjoy live music beneath the Brooklyn Bridge at Bargemusic, which is available five nights a week. If you are looking for great views of the city, don't miss the sunset behind the Manhattan skyline on the Brooklyn Heights Promenade. With so much to do in the area, book a room in one of our Brooklyn hotels and find the perfect spot for your activities.
