Have you taken a trip to Coney Island yet this season? If not, you'll definitely need to add Thor Equities' Coney Art Walls your bucket list of summer activities for kids. Located right by Luna Park and Deno's Wonder Wheel Park, this annual event showcases large-scale installations from the world's most beloved street artists from summer through fall. Apart from being a highly Instagrammable opportunity (which it certainly is), it's also a cool way to enjoy art outdoors.
