Reviews
"Fun for the kids but we waited 20+ minutes (after already getting on the ride) before they started the carousel. Please don't make your patrons wait this long to start the ride, especially for young kids!!"
"Love this vintage carousel!!! I used to enjoy it as a child and now love seeing my children enjoying it as well. There are moving elements to ride, stationary ones, and sleigh type seats for those who prefer to not sit on giant animals!"
"I reviewed this place a few years ago, but I'll do it again. The old carousel is amazing, and the main reason I came. I rode it three times. It's so pretty and well preserved. I do wish the band Organ worked! The music just played from some modern speakers. Fix the band organ, Raleigh, and I'll be sure to return! My SO enjoyed the train ride, which went around the pond and had some cute features, such as going under a bridge. There's (overpriced) food for sale and large picnic areas. It's a nice place to spend some time, especially if you're a carousel enthusiast."
"This was a beautiful step back in time. Our kids loved riding this ride even though they were not able to appreciate the history like my wife and I did. After riding it once they begged to ride again!"
"Great place for the kids to release a lot of energy and have a wonderful time with family and other kids. The park is neat and clean. Staff is friendly and believe it or not the food is good! The BLT is awesome! Drink plenty of cool water and have a magnificent day!"
