It's $3.50, but the ride lasts a good long time. The kids report that it is nice and fast.

The carousel has a very interesting history. I hope that the carousel stays open for many years in the future.

It was really cool to read the plaque . This was an early desegregated carousel first riden by a black child on the same day MLK gave his "I have a dream" speech on the mall .

No lines during the week, at least in fall.

When a ride is 3.50/person and a water ice is 3, it's a better deal to get the water ice.

$3.5/ride is not too bad, esp. considering we were 5 adults, lol

The lady that you but tickets from has a terrible attitude. Not my fault that you sell tickets for a living! I'm taking my money elsewhere!
