silver beach carousel

The carousel is kept very clean. The atmosphere is fun. You can purchase popcorn, cotton candy, and snacks. The price is cheap too, $2 per ride.

Assume, just love these old style carousels! This is a old fashion, romantic place to take a date. pretty painted horses.

All of our visitors stop at the carousel--grandchildren and children of my adult nieces and nephews. It is a favorite spot. It is very authentic and my one granddaughter says it is "much nicer than those in the malls." We visit at least five times per year. My grandson tells his cousin that "Grandma always has tokens in her purse.!" I do buy them by bulk.

This hasn't always been here, but it is a beautiful addition to this awesome lakeside community. This is one of the best family beaches in the US and this is one of the coolest things that you can do while visiting.

Take a time warp to the golden years of this beach amusement park town with this attraction. Fun for the whole family and gorgeous carousel. Mini models of the town from the prime of coasters on the beach.

My husband and I were at the Carousel and Shadowland Ballroom for a wedding in August. The wedding was expertly catered and the carousel was open for rides! The Silver Beach Carousel is a wonderful piece of local Michigan history and the sunsets from the carousel can't be beat. Michigan beaches are among the finest beaches in the country. It is the perfect place for a family vacation or a couples retreat.

My father, son, and I went to St Joe the day after Thanksgiving. The Carousel is located next to the discovery Zone and when my 6 yr old caught a glimpse of it he was very excited. The area surrounding the carousel is decorated for Christmas with miniature villages and trains. He really enjoyed looking at everything going on in there very stimulating for small kids. It is also inside so on a cold day at the beach it is worth a stop. Not to mention for a couple bucks you get to ride. Not bad, just watch out for the concession stand they got me for an extra $10 but it was worth it.

I have been there many times for events, with my nieces, and even just driving by the beautiful building. It delights people of all ages.

Exquisite detail has gone into this attraction - all for $2 a person! My grandson also loved the "Halloween Train" set up. Great job!

Loved that they had a box of accessories for you to wear while on the ride. Lots of memorabilia from the old amusement park to look at around the carousel. Snack bar right there sends popcorn fumes through your nose for a real amusement park feel. Kids love the chalk outside to make a piece of art. Definitely can't wait to bring the kids back.

The staff here were so friendly and helpful- we rented a little time on it for a wedding party, and the operator even brought out this special piece of fabric to put over the pole under the horse so that the bride didn't get grease on her dress. They were all very helpful.

What a gorgeous carousel!! The employees were kind and informative about each animal on the carousel. Each animal has a story! The haunted village was adorable!!! They also offer cotton candy, carmel corn and soft drinks to purchase. Nice stop!

Walked by this many times on my way to the beachand never stopped in until this Sept.Boy did I miss a lot! this is no simple carousel, this is the most beautiful and expensive out there!! they are hand carved out of wood and hand pained! A real work of ART!! and if you rather not ride (and I don't know why??) it only cost $2.00 for adults is is quite a long ride you can site for free in the Rocking chairs and watch the faces of the kids go by!! besides the free rocking chairs theyhave free hats for the kids to wear as they go around or they also have side walk chalk and bean bag games out side to keep the kids busy or adults. they sell cotton candy and popcorn and most of the friendly people working are also working for FREE because they enjoy it and taking about the history of St. Joe, Boy that sure is something when people really believe in there city that they would work fro free and they do an outstanding job too! Yes I would now stop in every time I walk by the carousel even just to say hi to the wonderful people who work here!this place has it all for young to the young at heart!! It has History, Art and just plain FUN!! sure would put a smile on anyone face! By the way when we ever here there was a wedding pary taking a ride around! and I hear they decorate for very holiday! too!! DON"T walk by this place step inside!!

The restored carousel was at the Beach many years ago and has been restored and in operation. $2 a ride, many artifacts from the 'old days' and it's all free! A great place for kids.

You are never too old to enjoy a ride on the carousel! The 1900s atmosphere is captured in this unique museum for all ages. You can't help but smile when you walk in.
