Lighthouse Point Park Carousel

It was a blustery October morning. There was a walkathon benefiting BenHaven by JBSports. We walked the route, ate some pizza, met some people and rode the carousel. A fantastic morning all in all

Just attended a wedding here and it was beautiful. Lots of room and a picture perfect view. There is no air conditioner or fan and it was a very warm night with no breeze so it was dreadfully hot but everything else was amazing.

Went for the Christmas light display. It was ok for small children. The ride took about 15 minutes and they had holiday music and advertising playing on a radio station for you to listen to. It would be nice to have somewhere to stop and take pictures with the family.

Attended a wedding here. Staff were helpful, vendors knew where everything went, rates were great AND there was an operating carousel for wedding guests following a beachfront ceremony. The only drawback was that there were a lot of people coming into the venue to look and ask questions which distracted a bit from the wedding. Otherwise I highly recommend the carousel, lighthouse, and park as a great event venue.

The carousel is great!! It's a nice standard carousel in the building within the park. And it's only $.50 per person per ride. I think it has a ride every 20 minutes or so. It was fun, even for adults. The room was quite hot and muggy though, but wasn't as bad when it was going around in the circle. Definitely recommend this, especially for . $.50.

Great park. Working Carousel. Beautiful sunset

I wish I could put zero stars but there’s no such option, unfortunately. I made an appointment to view the venue. Sabrina came to speak with us about the venue. She was extremely rude and disrespectful. There was another couple there who had already booked and were only viewing the place because they were in town. They had no appointment. Sabrina spent half an hour talking to them and gave us not even 5 minutes from our appointment that we had booked. Sabrina was very unwelcoming. We are trying to find our venue, it’s a very special day for us. Her vibe and attitude were just off putting. We asked her simple questions. One was whether we can change the lights and her response “nope you get what you see, don’t know what you are expecting but it is what it is”. We then asked her if the carousel was working or would be working on the day of the wedding. She was like “let’s hope so, if there’s a hurricane we will take you to city hall what’s your issue?” Are you kidding me? So rude and unprofessional. We went there to actually book the place but with how rude she was,  absolutely not. We will be looking elsewhere for sure. She sounded extremely racist as well because we spoke also a different language. Please stay away from this place and save yourself from this bad energy and rudeness.

In '16, when the world was chewing on its grit, they hammered and hoisted up the carousel at Lighthouse Point Park. This wasn't just any merry-go-round; it was a whirl of dreams, one of the last of its dying breed, snagged by New Haven's rough hands a decade later. The thing's got 72 beasts on its back — horses with eyes wild as Saturday night, camels that saw the desert once, and dragons that breathed fire before they got caged in this dance. They spin, these wooden misfits, twirling those sunburned beach bums and wide-eyed kids a stone's throw from the moody licks of Long Island Sound. Stashed under a roof that's seen better days, it's a nickel-and-dime show. Fifty cents and you hitch a ride on this ancient whirligig, running from the first sweat of summer to the last gasp of it. It's a nickel-and-dime show, but for those few moments, you're buying a piece of the sky.
