The Eldridge Park Carousel Preservation Society reopened the Carousel in May of 2006 with 56 new or restored hand-carved wooden animals and 2 chariots. Enjoy a ride on the fastest carousel in the world, spinning at nearly 18 miles per hour, and see if you can grab a brass ring from the ring feeder as the world spins by you.

After your ride, stop at the Merry-Go Eatery where you can enjoy a foot-long hot dog, ice cream, and other snacks.

There is also a gift shop with Eldridge Park Carousel memorabilia, shirts, and more. Don't miss the penny-smooshing machine so you can take home your own penny stamped with your favorite carousel inscription.
