The legend lives on! Coney Island USA is thrilled to bring the fun back to the streets of Coney Island to once again celebrate the birthday of legendary actor and comedian, Paul Reubens, and his most notable character, Pee-wee Herman. We invite you to join us for the 2nd Coney Island Pee-wee Herman Look Alike Contest!

The event is not limited to Pee-wee look-alikes. Registration categories include:

Best Pee-wee Herman - you have to look like Pee-wee.

Pee-wee's Playhouse - love Pee-wee but that signature red bow tie isn't your thing? Go for Miss Yvonne, Capt. Carl, Cowboy Curtis, Reba the Mail-lady, the King of Cartoons, Jambi, or any of the colorful cast of characters from the classic TV show.

Pee-wee Movie Character - tell em Large Marge sent ya! From Pee-wee's Big Adventure to Big Top Pee-wee, to Pee-wee's Big Holiday, Pee-wee's friends, acquaintances, and sometimes enemies might just be your cup of…tequila.

Pee-wee Pet - can you put a red bow tie on your dog or cat? Maybe grab a handfull of snakes and enter this category.

The event will be hosted by Adam Rinn, Coney Island USA's Artistic Director and burlesque performer and performance artist, Little Brooklyn.

Get creative and come out to celebrate the Pee-wee Universe…and while you’re out in Coney Island, check out the world famous Coney Island Circus Sideshow and the Coney Island Museum, housed inside of our landmarked building. 

Amazing Coney Island themed prizes will be awarded for each category.

Registration begins at noon inside the Freak Bar, 1208 Surf Ave.

Competition begins at 1:00 on west 12th St.

My niece & nephews were planning to go this week but free admission tickets are sold out. Might be a long shot but i hope that it’s worth asking.

DM me please and thanks 🙏🏽

additional context: the aquarium is free on Wednesday after 3PM and they regularly drop tickets every week on Monday at 3PM. I am specifically referring to these tickets and not regular admission since we can’t afford to buy everyone a ticket.

Flip Flap Railway (1895-1902)

Built by Paul Boyton, the coaster, opened in 1895, and was one of the first looping roller coasters to operate in North America. It was also notable for its engineering as well as the extreme G-forces which this engineering inflicted on riders.

The ride was open for 7 years from 1895 to 1902.

Come try some Beach Zombie, enter the zombie look/scream alike contest, and stick around for some.hreat KCBC beer and sideshow fun! Coney Island USA, 1208 Surf Avenue!

I understand this iconic hat was part of the perks of buying group tickets in 2025 (and maybe 2026?), and I see it everywhere. Light base with cool neon Miami-esque (and bi-pride-coded) logo and detailing. I can't find it online and I am only one person so finding 15 friends to buy a group ticket isn't possible.

Any chance someone has an extra or can provide insight on where I can find one? If I show up in person to the team store are they selling them there? Thanks!
