★★★KinWe passed by on a rainy day after hearing about their affordable rides and local snacks. We heard lots of music, but seems there was nobody around. The snack shop nearby was also closed, so we left after a bit.
★★★★★Vicky CianciIt is one of the cutest places I have ever seen in my life. It reminds me of my younger days when I used to go to the park in Forest Hills. This place has a little arcade and is very family-oriented, making it a great spot to visit. The prices are also reasonable.
★★★★★yael cohenThis was our first time at the Carousel Village. We came early so we didn’t have to wait in line. The carousel is beautiful and well maintained. We had two 16 year olds with us and they enjoyed it as well as little kids and so did we, the adults.
★★★★★Angela H.Cute way to spend a day, especially when they have Food Truck Fridays. But even on a regular day, the normal snack booth is pretty well-stocked with fairly priced food. Carousel and train rides are surprisingly affordable and the fully accessible and inclusive playground out back is fantastic.
★★★★★Sarah CFood truck Fridays at carousel village are so much fun! Perfect family event to bring our toddler to. There is live music and food trucks on Friday nights in the summer- but the gardens are gorgeous any day of the week with the swans and bridges and the rides (carousel and train) are fun for kids any day. Highly recommend!!
