Nellie Bly Amusement Park - (718) 996-4002

I remember my parents taking me to Nellie Bly as a kid & now I'm taking my daughter. It's been around for years & always a fun place! It's perfect for my daughter who is only 2 1/2 and she can enjoy most of the rides. It's inexpensive & close to home. They are still working on some renovations, but it didn't put a damper on the 2 trips we made there this summer. Looking forward to our next Adventure!

All kids love amusement parks and rides, and Nellie Bly located on Shore Parkway, off of the Belt Parkway is a great place for kids. They have many rides suitable for children of various ages, from small tots to older kids. It occupies a large outdoor area, with room for kids to run around, with safe fun rides for them to go on, and there is adequate adjacent parking.. They feature a good assortment of rides, a food court, tables to eat at, and a shop to purchase souvenirs for the kids. The rides are age appropriate, and not all rides allow all ages on them. The park is a wonderful place for a school trip or a birthday party, or other type of group activity. Kids love to go there and have a great time. PROS: A great amusement park for kids CONS: None.

Not much to do unless you are under 6. Itr always seems like the rides for those who are older are constantly closed. The last few times I went the giant slide and the roller coaster (very simple one) were closed. However, It is a good place to take a 1st grader for 2 hours. PROS: Nice for kids CONS: horrible for anyone else
