What is there to do on New Year’s Day in Brooklyn?
Happy 2017! What is there to do on New Year’s Day in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn?
- The Polar Bear Club will be doing their annual swim at Coney Island Beach at 1:00 pm. Start the year off with a refreshing swim or go and watch them. Anyone can swim – it’s free, but you have to register. Meet on the Boardwalk in Coney Island a little before 1:00 pm on Sunday. A lot of people like to watch the event from Ruby’s bar located at 1213 Boardwalk West or Coney Island Brewing Company.
- The NY Aquarium in Coney Island is open on New Years Day from 10 am -4:30 pm so many people like to go there after watching the polar bears swim. People who have a wristband from the Polar Bear Swim, get in free.
- Magic Show at Coney Island Museum 12 PM and 3 PM $10 for adults and $5 for kids under 12. The museum is at 1208 Surf Avenue.
- Grab some bread and go feed some swans and ducks. We saw them a few weeks ago and it’s awesome because there aren’t a lot of other people there.
- Prospect Park Zoo is open on New Years Day too
- Ikea is open from 10 am to 9 pm (regular hours) on New Years Day
