Reviews of The Empire State Carousel
"My wife is a big fan of carousels, so this was a must stop when we were in the area. The person running the carousel had lots of knowledge about this one and let us take our time exploring it. We hopped on for a ride and had a big smile on our faces. This is a must-see and ride if you are in the area."
"Craftsmanship from another Era. Extraordinary carvings. In a world filled with plastic waste and fast food, this is a beacon of what I would consider a lost art. Thank you to the carvers. I can't imagine how many hours went into something like this. A History buffs must! NY has a wonderful rich History. This catalgues it. We went to Cooperstown last month for the Hall of Fame on a "no phones weekend" The beauty of this carousel really stands out."
"Saw some of these animals being carved on Long Island. Wonderful to be able to ride on the carousel."
"Great carousel with extremely unique hand carved animals - each having a highly unique and interesting story !"
"Spectacular carousel, with each ride a regional creature hand-carved and finished by different artisans. The carousel is housed in a large gazebo at the Cooperstown Farmers' Museum. If you visit Cooperstown on Sundays in March, you can enjoy a delicious pancake breakfast and sugaring off activities too, but this exquisite one-of-a-kind carousel is worth a visit any time."
