Astroland Coney Island parking

[CTcoastin]

I'll be at Astroland on an upcoming Sunday for the first time. Can anyone tell me what the parking options are on a Sunday? I always thought people parked in the Aquarium lot, but I now heard that if you park there, they make you buy Aquarium admission. Can anyone confirm this? Seems like parking is a real pain there!

If at all possible, I would suggest just taking the subway to Coney Island. Take the D, F, N or Q. It drops you off right there.

 

Otherwise, I don't know what to tell you! Sorry!

The good news is that the Brooklyn Cyclones have a road game that day. I'm not really sure about the aquarium parking rules. I usually drive around for 20-30 minutes and find a spot on the street.

 

Meters are not enforced on Sundays. At least I think that is still the case. Sorry I can't be of more help.

I should know this, but I don't because I take the subway! (Yes Public Transportation from Staten Island!). When we do drive, we usually park on the street! So I have absolutely no idea bout the aquarium! Though I will tell you this, don't park outside the Grace Projects or past W19th st, or you wont have a car anymore !

If you get there before noon, you should find a spot on the street no problem. Sunday was the day I went in July a couple of years ago, and it was nearly empty until about one or so. I think a lot of residents are still getting out of church at noon.

I don't know about the aquarium. But it really depends on the time you go. Later on in the day, you have to be really lucky to find a spot close to the attractions. If you drive around a little bit, you will probobly find one. But again, sometimes it so bad that all I can do is just turn around and go home.

You should be able to park in the lot at the Cyclones ballpark. The last time I went, that's where we parked and it is significantly less expensive than the Aquarium lot.

 

So if street parking doesn't work out, give that a try.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone!

I always park in the Brooklyn Cyclones Parking lot: its cheaper, and it has a security guard! Besides you have to go right past Nathan's to get to the Cyclone!

 

I just make sure to wear my Staten Islands Yankees jersey!

Is the Cyclones parking lot always open? I see on their website that they have a game at 5 pm that day, but we'll be getting there around noon.
