The History Project's public exhibition center under the Cyclone Roller Coaster is open on weekends from Memorial Day through Labor Day. We display historic artifacts and documentary material from Coney Island's colorful past and offer an extensive program of educational exhibits, tours and events. FREE ADMISSION for ONE and ALL!

Featured exhibit for 2010: "Luna Park Revisited" details the park's history from opening day in 1903 to the dramatic fire that destroyed it forty years later. Rare archival photos, family snapshots, souvenir postcards and fun ephemera from the first Luna Park are on display. A touch screen monitor will provide access to dozens more images.

Throughout the year, visitors are invited to download the History Project's FREE audio/video walking tour of "Coney Island's Amusement Area--Past & Present" and explore the neighborhood. Narrated by Charles Denson, author of Coney Island: Lost & Found, the tour is downloadable to iPods and other portable players and may be listened to live via iPhone.

The free download and a map are available on the History Project's website's Tours page, right HERE..
