The other Coney Island park, Deno’s Wonder Wheel Amusement Park, which houses the famous Wonder Wheel ferris wheel, also reopens for the 2021 season on Friday, April 9.
The iconic Wonder Wheel turned 100 in 2020, but was unable to celebrate because of the lockdown, so the 100th Anniversary party is this year, over Memorial Day Weekend.

Deno’s will open on weekends 11AM - 6PM.
