This
amusement park is within the huge City Park, it is located in the western
section close to the Botanical Garden and Storyland. The site features 16 rides
for all ages. The most famous ride is the antique wooden carousel. The Flying
Horse Carousel is the oldest ride in the park dating back to 1906 although some
of the animals are even older and were carved in 1885. The carousel began life
on a stretch of land along City Park Ave and came to its present location in
1928. Each of the carousel animals was hand carved and painted by Charles Looff
and Charles Carmel. Some of the animals feature faux gems stones. The 53
animals are well maintained and repainted every two years. The carousel is a
registered National Historic Place. The amusement park rides are not just for
small children there are also a Ferris wheel, roller coaster and other
thrilling rides for older kids and adults. Each ride has its own height
restriction.
