"Take a Ride on Fanciful Native Creatures The newest addition to The Rose Kennedy Greenway is a carousel featuring colorful animals, fish and insects native to the New England area. Inspired by the drawings of Boston school children, the fanciful creatures are the creation of local artist Jeff Briggs. The 36 seats are unique and make the ride one of the most accessible in the area for both young and old with physical or sensory disabilities. Watching the wings of the butterfly move gently to music ranging from Raffi to the Star Wars theme is sure to bring out the kid in all who visit."

This carousel was a delightful surprise! The whimsical carvings of birds, fish, and even a boat offered a variety of choices for riders. Plus, the comfortable seats and charming music made it a relaxing and enjoyable experience for all ages. Definitely a must-ride!

We visited here on New Years Eve. They were open and letting people on for free. The children really loved this little treat in the middle of nowhere.

A really cool attraction with some fun and beautiful animal designs. Even if you do not go on the ride it is well worth walking around and appreciating the cool features and design of this carousel.

I didn't know there was a carousel next to the aquarium, but it really made the day trip. It wasn't too busy and the machine wasn't old or anything. Very pretty, well-kept figurines and mirrors. A little fun fact: they accept EBT, and that being said, the ticket is only $4 for a short ride. It might sound silly, but I definitely recommend you take a ride regardless of age just for the sake of nostalgia. The music they played was surprisingly pretty good. They tried to stay on theme with the spinning theme, so all the songs are kinda funny.

One of the most unique carousels I've ever seen. The details on the animals is great. The guy running it was friendly. Kind of expensive. $4 per person.

5+stars!! We weren’t sure if it would be worth it…3 grown women from Missouri on a carousel in Boston? But the ride did not disappoint!! It was beautiful, clean, fun, and just the right speed! The staff, especially the older gentleman, were very friendly, generous, and convincing ;). It was AWESOME

My daughter and I absolutely love the Greenway Carousel. Children love to ride on it and adults seem to like the music that plays. It is definitely busy on weekends when there is nice weather. Still there is barely a wait. It costs $4 per ride and 10 for $30. It is a fun activity for sure.

Beautiful carousel for $3 a ride and parents can go with the kids. Good to see different varieties of animals to ride on along with some great choice of music. One request to the organizers if they can add belts on the rides for safety purposes.
