Something fun to do with the grandkids. Something that has been around for generations the only thing that has changed is the price lol.

Perfect for all ages. Even pragnent women can ride it, one of the few rides. Been at the park since 1979. Actual wooden horses, ICONIC! Gentle and breaks down less often than newer rides!

It's a great place to take the little ones. And for the big kids when they get tired.

The iconic Carousel. Every amusement park has one, and you can never go wrong with getting on it.

My kids love this ride and they really like getting on a horse then asking me, "Mommy what's my horsie's name?" So I'll read the name tag out loud to them.
