Do you remember what it was like having the wind blow through your hair, the bright lights and music as you ride high atop a colorful horse? I'm talking about a carousel ride of course!
For many years families have vacationed in Cape Cod, and many of their best memories are those fun times as children riding on the carousel rides, a very popular activity on the Cape.
Interesting Fact
Did you realize that carousel horses back in the day were used to teach cavalry soldiers?
The history of carousel rides is a long one on the Cape. These wonderful rides can be found at the Funhouse Arcade, Cape Cod Carousel, Flying Horse Carousel on Martha's Vineyard in Oak Bluffs, and at the Cape Cod Mall the Island Carousel - these are just to name a few.
Built in 1876, the Flying Horse is the oldest carousel in the U.S. and was built by Charles Dare. Kids and adults alike love it - it costs less than two dollars for a ride.
A Free Ride!
The hand carved carousel at Heritage Museum and Gardens is another historic carousel. It was crafted in 1912 by Charles Looff and rides are free with museum admission.
