Very fun for our 1.5 year old and 7 year old. Prices were extremely fair and all the workers we talked with were very friendly! Would recommend!
We love old carousels, and the Bushnell Park Carousel does not disappoint. It was built in 1914 by Stein and Goldstein with 36 jumping horses, 12 standers, and two chariots, with music provided by a 1921 Worlitzer band organ.
It is on the State House grounds with huge grass covered lawns, a pond, statues, fountains and a Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Arch.
Took a 7 and 11 yr old on Wednesday 6.22.22 and it was free to ride as many times as you wanted (typically NULLpp). I paid to park on the street but was told free parking at the capital. The staff working at the carousel was friendly, energetic, and engaging.They talked to the kids, told them what to do and where to go. The ride itself was longer than I expected. Nice surprise. The ponies are absolutely beautiful. And we all had a wonderful time.
This is a beautiful piece of living art and history in the middle of Hartford. My family found it on accident and were so happy and excited with the experience. The staff were very friendly and there were both snack and seasonal drinks available for purchase. The ride was great, safe and extremely well maintained.
A true jewel of Hartford, CT. Located in the downtown area close to the capital, easy on & off of interstate, a must see for the family visit! NULL. Fee to ride this incredible masterpiece of history over 100 years old still using the Wurlitzer music piece to pipe out the iconic tunes to whirl around in.
Enjoy the large playground located outside, restrooms in building which offers a snack bar. This was a great addition to our trip to Hartford.
