Reader reviews of Grand Carousel

I rode this with my little sister and she enjoyed it very much. Little kids will enjoy this merry go round. - Michael Hurley

I'm disappointed every time I ride this carousel due to it's Bad condition machine and paintings and lack of a working band organ. It's Wurlitzer 157 hasn't played sense 2005. - Mike Mills

A beautiful merry-go-round, Grand Carousel featurse a collection of beautiful horses, paintings, and design. The fairground-style music also enhances the ride experience. - Ty Mullins

When it comes to carousels, it's hard to top the classic feel and look of this one. The gazebo covering it is straight out of an early 1900's amusement park..in a good way. - Derek Potter
