The amusement park on the Coney Island boardwalk, open April through October, with a whole section of kiddie rides for anyone 36 inches and up (little train, little planes, spinning cups), and the century-old Wonder Wheel (at Deno's next door) that the whole family can ride.

💡 Tips
Buy credits per ride or a wristband (about $50–70 per person); with just a 2-year-old, paying for a few rides individually is the better deal. Weekday afternoons are quiet. Finish at the beach and the aquarium.
