Coney Island Freak show, highly recommended

SIDESHOWS BY THE SEASHORE is located at the corner of Surf Avenue & West 12th Street in the heart of the Coney Island amusement park. The sideshow seats about 100 people and there is a FREAK BAR (serving beer) and a GIFT SHOP in the lobby. Both the inside and the outside of this historic early 20th century building are decorated in canvas sideshow banners. In the 1950's and 60's it was home to Dave Rosen's Wonderland Circus Sideshow where such legends as Sealo the Seal Boy, JoJo the Dogfaced Boy, tattooed man Jack Dracula and talker Bobby Reynolds once worked and performed. Please call the office at (718) 372-5159 for rental rates. SCHEDULE FOR SUMMER: Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend the full cast show will perform Fridays from 2-8pm and Saturdays and Sundays from 1-11pm. PRICE: Tickets can be purchased at the door only on the day of performance. The price is $6 for Adults and $4 for children under 12 years old. TRANSPORTATION: Take the N or Q train to the last stop, Coney Island station.
