Seaport Village Carousel

Historic carousel that I rode as a kid. Took my kids to ride it and it is a strict money pit now. Whoever runs this is all about greed. Cash only, No twenty dollar bills accepted, exact change only, 5.00 per kid. One adult is allowed to ride with children 5 and under as long as they stand. So This means for 2 kids if you do not have exactly 10.00 your kids can't ride. So people are paying 10.00 but they can't change a 20? I witnessed a Mom that had sat down on the sleigh be told to stand up because you cannot sit without a ticket. There were like 8 people on this carousel that sits 50-70 people. I also witnessed a grandpa and grandma taking their 3 grandkids and since only 1 of the 3 grandkids was 5 or under they told the grandma she couldn't ride without a ticket. I saw numerous people be turned away for not having exact change. I gave this 2 stars instead of 1 because the carousel itself is awesome and hand painted and all that stuff. But whoever is running this must be a joyless person who does not wish for kids to enjoy the historic carousel and only wants Parents to have a little bit worse of a day than they were already having.

We showed up and the carousel it was closed and employees were supposed to be back at 7pm according to the sign they left. So we waited in line. At About 7:10 we were still waiting and not getting let on. Our Kids are antsy to get on us parents are all looking at eachother. The employees were just standing there eating candy and talking to eachother making no point to open the ride or come up to us. As you can see the windows are disgustingly dirty all the way around can’t even see your kids on the ride if you’re watching from outside. The employees were still faced, as if they hated their job. Didn’t say a word to us, just had a mouth full of jolly ranchers slurping & taking our money. The ride was very very short. & they upped their prices.

A Beautiful and Historic Carousel Roguetrippers are huge fans of antique carousels (carrousels). The craftsmanship that goes into making them is definitely a lost art. When we arrived at Seaport Village the first thing we saw was this vintage LOOFT carrousel. Of course we had to take a ride $3.00 per person to ride. They have some amazing animals that you dont often see on many carrousels. The ride was a good length of time. The girl operating was very friendly. This carrousel is very well maintained and in great shape. What a beautiful way to start our day at the Seaport Village. @rogue_trippers on instagram and twitter.

It’s your basic merry-go-round. The ride is pretty long though. It cost 5 dollars to ride

Whoever this woman is hates her job and hated us as well. You can feel the hate walking up and talking to her. You could feel her relief as we walked away. Wanted to stand next to my 8 year old to ensure her safety while riding and was denied by this woman stating that we needed to pay for myself as well. Absolutely a money pit and walked away with a sad kiddo explaining to her that we have been on many a carousel where that wasn’t the case. We are tourist and if you are too..STAY AWAY.

Beautiful carousel. I Absolutely loved the dmermaid-lookingooking one it was very cool! Clean and shiny horses too!

I took my son here when he was young, still love visiting here at it it an historic carousel. Can be very busy summer and weekends.

Too short for the the $5.00, but I liked you can pay with card
