Glen Echo Park

The carousel is a must. It was restored to look like it did in the 1930's. All the buildings have been preserved from their amusement park era, and serve as a great home to artists and performers .

Formerly known as Glen Echo Amusement Park , this restored cultural center is a super cute spot to have an afternoon picnic if your in the area. Brownie points if you instagram the 'Cuddle Up' stage.

There is something magical about this place. On the Potomac near Bethesda, Maryland it was originally an amusement park . Now it's a National Park that presents vibrant arts and cultural programs.

this is not a nightclub but rather a wonderful park with an art galleries , puppet theatre , Adventure live theatre for children, Spanish Ballroom for dance lessons, merry-go-round, and picnic place.

This park is so cute . Historic merry-go-round, super cool pottery sheds, and amazingly clean bathrooms .

Did you know? Carousels evolved from a game played in the 1100s by Arab horsemen. Crusaders nicknamed the game “carosella” or “little war.” Be sure to visit the Dentzel carousel in the park ! Read more

Young or old, ride the carousel and take a step back from the busy pace of life in the DMV.
