carousel of happiness印象

and some of their parents bring along a kid so they can ride w/o being embarrassed - this was a community supported project which took 20 or so years - it was a work of love for the guys who bought a wrecked carousel, transported it about a 1000s mile to Nederland and crearted a masterpiece from the wreck. It is volenteer staffed for the most part - It is a must see and bring along a kid!

Kids and parents both had a great time riding the carousel! Definitely recommend to ask who come to Nederland!!

This is a beautiful piece of art as well as a wonderful ride. All this for one dollar, can't beat it. Plus it's in Nederland, a great place to visit.

This is a neat place with a lot of history. Carousel rides are only $1. Also has a gift store. There are photos showing the history and the staff can talk to you about it too. They also have a puppet show, but we did not see it.l

so, you are too old to ride a carousel? well, this is a piece of art, a happening, a moment. take your kids, your inner kids, and spend a bit of time on this colorful, delightful and dedicated sculpture. it has old parts and new parts and worth your dollar. take a few minutes while you are there to read about why it was created and for who cuz the artist truly has his heart in the right space.

A wonderful story about the carousel. It gets you through a tough time in life. It makes people happy and relax. Thank you from Rita Bennett and Steve Nordstrom from Westminster Colorado

How I could NOT give 5 stars to a beautiful hand carved carousel carved by a Vietnam vet and staffed by volunteers for $1 a ride? Such a sweet nostalgic moment of joy tucked away in the parking lot of a mall behind the train cars. I went for a spin all by myself to a Count Basie tune. Definitely worth a stop for your kids or your kid at heart!

This will be the best dollar you spend this year. Operated by a Non-Profit, The Carousel is not to be missed. Not just for little kids; everyone in your group will enjoy this ride.

The Carousel of Happiness is a unique and memorable experience whether you ride or just watch. Each of the whimsical figures was hand carved/sculpted with great care and detail by its creator. There is only one horse, an Indian pony romping along with a mermaid, moose, flying pig, cow, zebra and many others while carousel music spurs them on. The gorilla cozies up to a chair that can be sat on or removed to make way for a wheelchair. There is even a lift for a power wheelchair if needed. If you don't want to go up and down, you can ride in the swan boat, dragon boat or ride the stationary tiger. Bring your camera. Hours vary in different seasons, so you might want to call or check their website before you go. I've visited the Carousel a number of times and loved every one of them. All ages will find delight in this unusual non-profit where each ride is $1 and watching is free. If this is your first visit to Nederland, you'll also find a wide range of food sources and interesting shops in this quaint old west town.

The carousel is the result of one man's vision: an act of personal healing and a gift to the community. (The dollar charge only supports but does not cover the cost of operation.) You can find the interesting history online, and it was featured in Spirit Magazine (SW Airlines) this past year.The fanciful animals are all hand-carved, and the music is the real deal: an old-fashioned Wurlitzer calliope like the ones you might remember from your childhood (if you are a baby boomer). If you have even a spark of the little kid left in you, the Carousel of Happiness will make you smile.
