After checking their website AND Google hours to make sure they were open today, Sunday January 19th, I lugged both kids 30miles into town for a special time at the Carousel. When we got there, loaded my handicap child into his special needs stroller and collected my bag, we were greeted with a closed Carousel. I just wanted to tell them THANKS A LOT.
This is a must of you have kids. Cheap entertainment.
Friendly staff. Great riverside location with other things close by for kids to do.
Great price and fun for the kids. We bought the wrist bands and had unlimited rides.
Absolutely love The Carousel! Good, cheap fun with the family!
This fast carousel (with not only horses but also dragons) was the highlight of our toddler's trip to Montana. It's right downtown next to the river with a great park next door. It's enclosed in the winter and open in the summer. This is a must see for any trip to Missoula with kids.
The carousel was too fast for my 3 year old but she loved the castle playground next to it.
Great place to go. Take the grandkids there every time we visit.
I have so many memories of riding around on this carousel as a kid when visiting my grandparents, and of getting the brass ring a couple times!
A fantastic place to ride a beautiful carousel pony. Take a kid with you and you'll blend in better. It's great for the whole family.
I have been going here almost every time I drive the 400 plus miles to get here. I love it!! Got to get the ring for another ride.
I love going to the carousel with my family and friends and have been for years. The staff is normally very friendly, the manager is great. but i have to say, the ginger hair girl working this morning was EXTREMELY rude to me and my family and other customers as well. She also seemed to be not too friendly with the other workers which were very sweet.It didn't seem to me that i was the only one bothered by her bad attitude. First time ive seen this girl working and was disappointed in her ability to be friendly in such a magical place. I normally dont write reviews, but she was just SO rude, I had to say something.
This place is a small picture of what it looks like when a bunch of people get together for the sole purpose of giving a damn!
Beautiful horses and amazing story! It s such a treasure to have such a gorgeous carousel in our little city!
Great get together place for all kinds of people. Fun for the kids.
I loved to take my girls here, and it was a place they always requested to go to and seemed to always have so much fun. Dragon Hollow is also very well laid out for toddlers on up. A fun place for kids, and I loved the smile it put on my kids' faces.
What a wonderful carousel. Well kept, colors are bright and vibrant. Fastest Carousel around. Fun to grab the Rings out of the Dragon. Kids love to go all the time.
The most beautiful carousel we have ever been to. The wood carving exhibit is also a thoughtful extra. My children remember our stop there so fondly. The teenagers running the carousel were thorough, well-mannered and upbeat. The gift shop is also really nice, and the price to ride is super affordable. We unfortunately forgot cherished pony greeting cards in the dash of the rental car, which just means we'll have to get ourselves back to Missoula Montana one day!
We love the Carousel! The people are wonderful! Fun times !
Fun for the whole family or date night. Anyone. Historical info & pics...like mini museum. Great gift shop. Walking trails along river. A variety of shops & restaurants in walking distance. The carousel even has the old fashioned brass rings to grab!
...my first experience on a carousel and it was great! Lots of kids but great fun... the staff are so patient and friendly especially the man thats at the register when you buy tokens...
Terrifyingly fast. I've never seen so many unhappy small children. My 5 year old loves carousels and was not happy. I was also frightened. Beautiful craftsmanship, though.
It's beautiful and unique. Staff are friendly, and with the Dragon's Hollow just outside and several nice places to eat across from the parking lot (Tamarack and McKenzie River Pizza) it's an easy place to spend the afternoon with friends and family, especially with kids.
Fun ride, very fast and enjoyed by our children. $10 gets you about 20 rides, so your kids can ride several times. Great value.
Used to go here as a kid and I absolutely loved it and I still do. I went there with my friends and it was so fun.
Very nice Carousel, really pretty cool. Good for all age groups. Right beside is it a wonderful playground as well.
It was a great first time on a Carousel, beautiful clean place
My first time there. Nice view and a good place to take a walk with family and enjoy.
I wish I could take my grandkids here again cuz it's an awesome place
Hit up the childrens museum first and you get free rides all day.
The workers are great, and my daughter loves the place.
My whole family loved this place! The workers were very friendly too
All kids young and old enjoy the place. My only reservation is there are no handy wipes for the rides.
We always make this a stop on our family road trip. So much fun!
Friendly staff and very clean. Enjoyed making memories with my baby.
Great place! The kids love it, it's really affordable, and the hand-made horses are beautiful. This place is a wonderful benefit for all residents.
It was very fun all the way up until we were going around in the carousel and the gears kicked or something but we felt like we'd get thrown off had they not emergency shut down the place. I'm sure this place at the top of its game is a wonderful place to have fun. The dragons hallow next door is a great playground also to have your kids run it out before heading home. I'll go back maybe but not on the carousel. UPDATE: 07,08,2018 The place has had a great turnaround they went out of their way to make a greater experience the carousel runs amazingly and the widdlers of the horses are there and give great insight on the background of the building and the pieces on the carousel.
Fun carousel with a great brass ring pull. Nice playground next to it. (Oddly sone adults took up outer horses and prevented children from trying to get the rings!)
Comunity of NEW carvers. Comunity of horse sponsors. AWSOME HORSES AND THE DRAGON
The antique structure and decoration of this carousel is what makes it stand out. Every horse was made with care and the painting and carvings all around the place are just so whimsical. Rides for children are only 75 cents so I bring the kids I nanny here every week. They love it. The playground out back is also fire (haha dragon jokes) so the fun doesn't stop with the carousel!
If you've never been on a carousel, go here. If you have been on a carousel, there are no surprises to be had here. There is a good adventure play-park for the kids outside.
My kids love the carousel, as well as family when they come visit!!
Very fun. The playground was great and the carousel is second to none! One of the best I have ever been to.
Great fun for little ones! The playground is amazing!
Great stop for families visiting Missoula- so fun and affordable!
Always such a great time here for young and old. Beautifully crafted carousel and good staff.
This is a fun place for adults and kids. Try going early on a weekday to avoid the crowds.
Fun for kids of all ages. Dragon Hollow park is also great fun right outside.
Great place to spend time with the kids!! Always a treat.
Very well maintained, the employees were very nice. And the entire place was a very nice atmosphere!
I didn't actually ride the carousel but watch all the happy people that did. There was a really cool park next to it and the carousel was very bright and cool looking. Very crowded on the weekends!!!
Great place to go for a little fun. Dragons hollow, an awesome wooden fort, is next by as well
The horses were detailed and beautiful. The ride was fast and fun. Two kids ages 9 and 1 with is both enjoyed it. The park just outside was really fun as well. Giant play structure. We could have spent the whole day.
Professional and safety-minded atmosphere. Great inexpensive winter activity including hand-eye coordination. (Ring grab)
Was fun. Boys enjoyed a couple rides. Fair price. Short lines. We'll run.
