Paragon Carousel and Museum, Massachusetts, United States
4.5 (61 reviews) Spent 1-2 hours Ranking #2 in Hull Amusement & Theme Parks
Nostalgic!
The Paragon Carousel has been operating along the shores of beautiful Nantasket Beach for 90 years. Built in 1928 by the Philadelphia Toboggan Company, it is the last remaining attraction from the Paragon Park amusement park that closed in 1985. Kids of all ages will enjoy a ride on “the painted ponies”. Then move to the Paragon Park Museum next door to learn about the park’s founding in 1905 and its evolution from a Victorian era “exposition” to a late 20th century amusement park. Hear modern recordings of early 1900s songs about a trip to Paragon Park. Marvel at a scale model of the Giant Coaster and watch a “rider’s view” video (complete with screams!) of a front car trip on the classic wooden coaster (hands up!). See an original Kooky Kastle cart and the scale from George Kasian’s “Guess Your Weight” shack. And stop at The Restoration Studio to check on the progress of the latest Paragon Carousel horse being brought back to its original beauty.

Lovingly maintained
This carousel is a gem and clearly someone takes very good care of the riding hoses, all beautifully painted. For a minimum price, the ride is a good length with music and horses rising up and down. Treat your kids to the experience!

Nice carousel $3 rides, building can be open-air
Cute carousel that reminded me of others I have been on, reasonable prices per ride and good ride length. Attentive staff, and excellent hand hygiene practices required, and watched them shut down the ride to sanitize the horses and high touch surfaces multiple times over our several day stay. Highly recommend!
