Such a nice little spot to stop and visit. The lady running it that day was super sweet. The kids loved riding it over and over again. Very well kept. Clean and beautiful. Even us adults went on it and had a great time! Loved that you could see the little musical instruments going as you rode. Nice and shaded as well!

.50ยข for a ride on the carousel! Lots of fun animals to choose from. The giraffe is stationary. The pirate cat is cute.
