The Carousel's Wurlitzer organ, with 141 pipes and 16 bells, adds a joyous, melodic backdrop to every ride. The Carousel is open Thursdays through Sundays, from 12--6 p.m. (5 p.m. after Labor Day), April--October. Rides cost only $2.00 Books of 5 tickets are available for $9. Children under 3--years-old must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. The Carousel is wheelchair accessible.
