Definitely more run down than it used to be. Still fun to ride the carousel, nostalgia.

Stopped in for a quick visit on a road trip around PA and NY and I’m so glad I did. The carousel is beautiful and in wonderful shape. The park itself is in a scenic location with several flat rides to enjoy. We had a quick meal before getting back on the road and it was very good.

Shocking that there were maybe less than 40 people visiting while we came on the 4th of July! We had a blast! My youngest child age 7 enjoyed herself as well as my 70 plus old mother.

I have many memories of riding the Eldridge Park Carousel from my childhood as I went there and spent time with my family. I would ride the hourses on the carousel and have a great time. Sometimes I would try to get the ring. I am looking forward to spending time there one day with Joey and Julia so I can share it with them and their oldeset brother Ryan.

I love riding the Eldredge Park Carousel. I ride at least 3 to 4 tome during the summer. This year it has been closed so I miss riding it. O hope ot reopens soon before the summer is gone.
