Carousel At Downtown At the Gardens

Love the carousel. It takes tokens that can be bought at the ice cream, hair cut store, or just in front of the carosel from a machine. The worker is usually pretty nice and professional. They are all beautiful and seemingly well kept.

For $ 2 per child, you can buy a token and let your child enjoy a delightful two minute carousel ride.
This Carousel contains a menagerie of animals that represent animals from all over Florida, including Horses, flamingos, manatees, dolphins, swans, bobcats and more. Each one has been hand carved, painted and mounted.
The carousel is gorgeous. You can tell it is well-​maintained because each animal moves flawlessly up and down without the nerve racking shakes characteristic of other carousels.
The ride time is just long enough to excite your child and ends just before your child gets restless.
Definitely looking forward to returning!
