Coolidge Park Antique Carousel, Tennessee, United States

Lovely carousel
The carousel machine is an antique dentzel repopulated with newer carved menagerie animals, some with Tennessee flair. The rides are only $1 and last over 4 minutes. There are rocking chairs around to sit and watch the carousel and riders. It is housed in a lovely building. My complaint is that the information found online for hours is inaccurate and there didnt seem to be a direct phone line to call and check. I called the city, and they directed me to a park link with the incorrect info. This was mostly an issue because I was an out of town visitor who really wanted to ride the carousel. The carousel has three rows of animals. The outside row does not go up and down, the inner two rows do. Really cool animals and lots of variety. Definitely support this carousel.

The Past Renewed!
This is a completely restored and original carousel from decades ago that is a joy to ride and it's reasonably priced. The Money Paid to ride on it actually goes to keep it in great condition! I really enjoyed writing because it reminded me of when I was young how the rides were simple and meant to be enjoyed, not to terrify you. Definitely something to do as a couple whether you have children or not.

worth to try
it's $1 per person no matter adult or kid, but this price is relatively cheap compared to other carousel, so it's worth to try if you are there and esp. with young kids. We went there on Friday evening, not many people, so next round will be you, no need to wait for a long time.
