Overview
Make memories with a ride on our unique, vintage carousel, located west of the Blaisdell Family Aquatic Center. The grand old carousel was built in 1908 and houses a Wurlitzer style band organ. Bring your lunch and enjoy listening to the music or enjoy the VonRohr Victorian Garden adjacent to the carousel.
