This was probably the best value of anything in National Harbor I experienced during my time there.

I love the history of this carousel but it doesn't compare to the one at the zoo! Most of the…read morehorses need some serious cosmetic help - it's just so sad to see this bit of history on the Mall lacking the maintenance it seems to need. I don't know if or when the policy changed (as one of the photos here shows credit card signs for payment at the ticket booth), but when we were here after the Smithsonian Kite Festival last month, we were (rather rudely) told that it was strictly cash only. That is not listed anywhere, and much to our daughters' relief, we had enough cash to cover one ride ($3.50 per ride but littles need to be accompanied by an adult). This carousel also has an unfortunate policy of letting riders with multiple tickets just stay on instead of getting off and giving the next round of people first pick at the horses (as they make you do at the Zoo). This caused a fair amount of anguish for one of my daughters who had her heart set on the dragon - we were the first in line, but because a boy the turn before us had another ticket, he just stayed on and stayed on the dragon. Small potatoes in the long run, I know, but kind of an annoying policy.

If I were to collect something creepy it wouldn't be dolls, or clowns, or Precious Moments…read morefigurines...it would be carousel horses. But, I would not collect one from the Carousel on the National Mall. These poor phillies have seen better days. The only super cool one isn't even a horse, it's a dragon and it's pretty awesome. Despite the wear and tear, it's a carousel and it's on the National Mall so it wins on location, location, location! I had a grand ole time riding in a tea cup with one of my boys while the other rode the cool dragon. It only costs $3.50 per person and we walked away with cute pictures that are worth much more than that.

They love playing in the sandpit & on the swings that are adjacent to them. This part of the park is shaded by trees & is a perfect spot for parents to relax too when their kids are playing. There's a fun jungle gym play area just a few steps away from the sandpit with a small slide, club house and climbing wall. All this is behind the restrooms & the water fountain next to the parking lot. This is just a small part of the fun activities this park has to offer! There's a great family workout area in full sun. The kids love it as much as the adults. For the bigger children there's a large play area with swings, jungle gyms of the spiderweb design, tunnels, tall tube slides, monkey bars & a small hill for climbing up and sliding down. This area is also in full sun most of the day. The woods offer shady walking/running trails. If you are planning a big family outing or a party there are plenty of picnic tables and shelters & another restroom facility on the side of the park. We attended the annual Wheaton Friendship Picnic here this past weekend. It was a great Sunday afternoon in September for it! There was free food, games & information booths, a live reptile display with cool snakes and turtles & fire trucks. The park also includes a train ride & carousel for additional fee & an ice skating facility. Until next time be kind to each other. # Wheatonregionalpark @yelpdc #carousel #trainrides #sandpit #familyfuntime
