Situated by the sea in the famed Coney Island, Brooklyn, our spacious grounds can accommodate any type of event, and upwards of 2,000 guests. Greet our sea lions, sip cocktails with sharks, or have a picnic with amazing ocean views! With a wide variety of indoor and outdoor locations, our event staff can help customize your ideal setting for any celebration. With so many great locations for entertaining your guests, utilizing the entire park also makes for a great location for those larger gatherings. Because of the impact that single-use plastic has on our oceans, The WCS’s New York Aquarium is working to green our operations and has committed to eliminating single-use plastic in our park and promoting more environmentally-responsible alternatives. We realize that this is sometimes a complicated task, but we ask that all those who have events here make every effort they can to avoid bringing plastic products into the park including disposable plastic utensils, plates, cups, and bags. KEEPING OUR OCEAN SAFE, ONE EVENT AT A TIME! Daytime Events: The New York Aquarium makes for a great location for all types of daytime events. Glover’s Reef Deck is the perfect daytime event space, sitting atop a 167,000-gallon fish tank, with views of both the beach and our Sea Cliffs exhibit! Evening Events: Have you ever wanted to be in an aquarium all by yourself? Now you have the opportunity to make our underwater oasis your exclusive event space! With multiple after-hours options available, you can utilize parts of the aquarium, or take over the entire park for your big event. Whether sipping cocktails on our deck or rooftop, guests will enjoy stunning beachfront views. Guests will also be able to explore all our park has to offer, in a completely exclusive environment!

Years before our doors opened in July 1996, Tim McCune and his first business partner, Pete Truxaw, had a vision of opening a local restaurant that would be catered to the needs of their neighborhood. It was their aim to create a sophisticated yet informal American-themed grille where friends and family could gather to relax and have a memorable eating experience. They were successful. This fantasy was the inspiration for the establishment of Salt Creek Grille. Our culinary approach is based on the time-honored art of grilling meats over hot mesquite embers, which has been around for centuries. Our food is prepared with only the freshest meats, poultry, fish, and produce available, thanks to our commitment to ethical sourcing practices. We provide a selection of wines from boutique vineyards and well-known cellars that may be coupled with our meal to please both the expert and the novice taster. Our amazing panoramic view of the Navesink River serves as the perfect backdrop for the most spectacular private dinner occasion you could imagine. Your visitors will be able to take advantage of broad, crystal clear waterfront views thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows. The expansive grass by the river is the ideal site to greet guests as they arrive for a casual outdoor cocktail reception or wedding. Our waterfront position is surrounded by lush flora and leads to a private dock that we have built for ourselves. Weddings, rehearsal dinners, birthday parties, and other special events have all taken place on this pier, which has served as a gorgeous background for countless of excellent photo opportunities.
