    This carousel very near Roebling, Smale Park, & sports stadiums is such a beautiful Cincinnati celebration with the city parks & landmarks all incorporated into the artwork and carousel animals. Token price is a few dollars for a few minute ride! We were very pleased!

    My family and I stopped here last summer. We enjoy exploring different cities and doing different things I have two kids so of course I doing a bunch of kids activities and different things. So we definitely had to hit up this carousel. It's a cool location we got splash pads outside they got shopping centers and I got a big giant park right across the street in Cincinnati. Really pretty part of town really pretty area in the carousel wasn't too much money jumped on there with the girls did a few laps and hit the road good spot for sure to check out and we will be back next time we're in the Cincinnati

    We stopped by Carol Ann's Carousel so the kids could use the bathroom. I am not even sure if there are bathrooms in the place, but on a hot day, they did have the air conditioning cranked up. I stood by the floor vent which was spewing wonderfully cold air while my wife got the kids onto the carousel for a ride. It was a nice break from the heat outside since there aren't many trees to provide shade in the section of Cincinnati. There were quite a few kids riding the carousel, so I guess this is actually an attraction. I don't even know how much it cost. Outside, there is a fountain which children were playing in. They were wearing water sneakers and bathing suits. Apparently, people actually plan to let their kids run through the splash pad. This is similar to the new fountain in downtown Cleveland. The kids love it.

    So beautiful and so uniquely specific to Cincinnati! You can find a painting or animal that represents anyone's favorite part of the city. Although, I must say, I couldn't choose - every part of this city is so fantastic. Check Cincy Savers for coupons to save yourself some money!

    Cool vampire bat seat to ride!

    This was a nice place to take the kids before the Reds game! It was a very hot day and they have air conditioning in the building, makes it a nice place to relax for a bit. They have a neat little gift shop here as well, the staff were all friendly. The price to ride was not expensive at all. The carousel had many of animals to choose from for the kids, I even saw a bat which was very cool! If you are ever in Cincinnati and looking for time to kill before a game or just to enjoy a day out, I recommend checking this carousel out.

    Unique venue for indoor or outdoor events! I recently attended a fundraiser gala at Carol Ann's Carousel and was pleasantly surprised by the how well the event came together. Half of the event was indoors and half was outside, which was nice because it did rain a bit in the early evening. The outside portion has beautiful view of both Downtown Cincinnati and across the river into Kentucky. The carousel itself was running all night and everyone was enjoying the rides. The whole space makes for great pictures and would be ideal for any type of event. The food was great and the bar service was awesome, but I believe outside caterers are used for that. Regardless, I'd recommend this space for anyone looking to accommodate a large group of people in the Cincinnati area!

    Cute and clean entertainment for any age! $2/ride and I would highly recommend for a few minutes of clean, air conditioned gun

    May 30th the rides begin.

    This is an absolute gem with so much to see it could really be multiple different museums…read more You enter the main building from the very spacious parking lot. You can get admission to just the site, add on admission to the Wright's home (offered on certain days for an additional charge) and also add on for the train or carousel rides. Overall, admission is very reasonable at $14 for adults and $10 per child. Worth it considering all that you can see and do at the site. There are a lot of historic buildings you can enter. Most have placards outside describing what their history is. Some of them had costumed interpreters in them and some with animatronics. (which my daughter declared as super creepy). In the main building, there are exhibits about the history of Dayton where you can learn things like that at one point, Dayton had the most patents of anywhere in the US and the cash register was invented here. It was cool learning about the area (even though we aren't from here). I imagine it would be even more impactful if you were local. There is also the Wright Brothers building with a ton of information about the Wright Brothers and more Wright artifacts than any other museum or location. Everything is very well maintained and all of the staff are friendly and just waiting to give you information about whatever area they are in. If you go to Dayton, make sure you visit here!

    So, this place is awesome. It's like half railroad park, half Wright-brothers park, half historical…read moremuseum, and half outdoor garden-park. THAT'S FOUR HALVES!!!! I went here as part of a group, and they seem to get a lot of school field trips, but they're well organized, and it's a big place, so even with a ton of kids at the place, you don't feel like you're crowded. They have really great people working here, who are more than happy to answer your questions and explain things to you. I had like, fifteen minutes alone with the candle-maker lady and my son, and she entertained all of his questions and was really cool to talk with. They have a lot of Dayton-related history around NCR, and flight, and nuclear energy, and old automobiles. I bet it's a blast to work there. My favorite part though, was the outdoors area. It's just a really well maintained facility with lots of big old trees, and shade, and you can really just kick back and relax and chill out.

The property is absolutely beautiful, and there is so much to see and do that you really could spend an entire day here. One of my favorite things about the park is being able to get up close to so many different horses and learn about the different breeds. The Hall of Champions was especially interesting, and seeing the famous horses and learning about their history was a really cool experience. The International Museum of the Horse is another major highlight. Even if you're not a huge horse expert, there's so much history and information that it's genuinely interesting and educational. There are also other barns, exhibits, demonstrations, sculptures, and attractions throughout the park. The horse presentations and demonstrations really add to the experience because you're not just walking around looking at horses. You actually get to see them in action and learn about their history, breeds, training, and roles. The horse-drawn trolley ride is also a fun way to see more of the massive property. The grounds are beautiful and very well maintained, and the staff we encountered were friendly and knowledgeable. You can tell this is a place where people genuinely care about the horses and about sharing Kentucky's horse history with visitors. There is a fair amount of walking, so comfortable shoes are definitely recommended, but that's part of what makes the experience so enjoyable. There are so many different areas to explore that it never really feels like you're just doing the same thing over and over. Whether you're a serious horse lover or just looking for something different to do around Lexington, I would highly recommend the Kentucky Horse Park. It's a great way to experience a big part of what makes Kentucky special. Beautiful grounds, amazing horses, fascinating history, great exhibits, and plenty to see and do.

Just, like, groups of metal bars that require you to use your imagination, because otherwise they're just bleak and cold and hard objects standing in the middle of a field. This park has metal monkey bars and metal slides, a metal geometric dome and a metal merry-go-round -- all of the metal things. I imagine that this playground might be a little hot to the touch in the summer, but when we visited in late winter, it was perfectly pleasant. But only 3/4 of the playground is old-school playground equipment. The other 1/4 is updated plastic. However, for some reason, my children spent very little time in the updated playground area, and opted for the metal area. Very interesting. This park has lots going for it. It has an enormous sheltered picnic area that seems like it would be good for group events. It has a colorful basketball court with four hoops. There's also a baseball field, disc golf / frisbee golf (frolf) course, a gaga ball court, a walking path, a man-made lake, and a little fairy house by the playground parking lot. Liberty feels like a big park but is also a quaint part of the community. We had a good time visiting.

I noticed they even had swings for kids with disabilities! Definitely worth a stop if you have kiddos. There's a baseball field and soccer field in the park, as well as some frisbee golf areas. They do have picnic shelters, two that I saw and both were large. There's also a nice gazebo! There are paths where you could walk in loops, which is what I did with my friend, and there are benches sporadically as well for those who like a place to sit and watch the world go by. The bathrooms over by the baseball field were fairly clean for a park bathroom, too. Still had some spider webs, but it's a park bathroom so... ;) Overall, this park was great and an unexpected surprise!
