Coney Island USA has temporarily suspended our indoor operations at 1208 Surf Avenue, while we reorganize to meet the incoming City policies for verifying vaccine status for patrons. Rather than take any risks with being underprepared, we are focusing our efforts to ensure a safe, healthy, and fun experience for all of our patrons and supporters.
We will re-open for the Coney Island Film Festival, September 18th and 19th. Info and tickets for the film fest here.
Heartfelt thanks to Assemblymember Mathylde Frontus, for advocating on behalf of the Coney Island Museum for AD46 funding.
The funding will be used to upgrade systems vital to maintaining museum-standard environmental conditions in the galleries and archives. These include the installation of a glass door at the entrance to effectively control ambient temperature and humidity.
The Coney Island Museum is dedicated to preserving and interpreting the unique history of the amusement district and its surrounding neighborhood. The Museum’s archives are available as a critical resource to researching scholars, and its public displays support educators from local schools.
We’re very grateful for the continued support from our local elected officials, community leaders, and family and friends.

Coney Island USA is sad to mark the passing of our good friend and long time supporter, James Major Prince. Jimmy was a beloved presence in the neighborhood, and the owner of Major Markets Prime Meats, a decades-long fixture on Mermaid Avenue. After his retirement, he continued to stay active in Coney Island, and was a volunteer at the Coney Island History Project.
Jimmy was an early contributor to the Mermaid Parade and a regular attendee of our Coney Island Film Festival. He was the subject of many films, including The Prince of Mermaid Avenue by Charles Denson and Last Night in Astroland by Lou Dembrow.
Our deepest condolences to his friends, family, and all who loved him. We will miss him dearly.
