Whether it's a private birthday party or a casual visit, the Holyoke Merry-Go-Round promises an enjoyable and memorable time for all.
The merry go round was one of the best I’ve ever been on. My aunt brought me and my cousins and 89 year old grandmother, and it was so fun. The guy who ran the actual merry go round helped my grandmother out so much by helping her on the horse. It was the best. He was the best. Easily 5 stars.

This is my 3 year old’s happy place. It’s a local gem - the carousel is pristine, beautifully painted, well maintained. The kids that work there are sweet. Worth traveling for. There’s a playground, park for walking and children’s museum right next door - and splash pad in summer.

Wonderful experience for humans of all ages. I went on a snowy Saturday this past January; warmed my winter weary heart.
