The Paragon Carousel on Nantasket Beach has been operating along the shores of beautiful Nantasket Beach Reservation for more than 80 years. Built in 1928 by the Philadelphia Toboggan Company, it boasts four rows of 66 intricately carved horses and two rare Roman chariots. It is decorated with 35 original paintings, 36 cherubs and 18 goddesses who look down while a Wurlitzer Band Organ fills the air with music. One of fewer than 100 "Grand" carousels remaining in the U.S. today, the Paragon Carousel touches the hearts, sparks the imaginations and ignites the creative spiritsof all who visit it. The Paragon Carousel is the last remaining attraction from the beloved Paragon Park amusement park on Nantasket Beach that closed in 1985.
We love it here! It's fun to visit with little kids and then go across the street to the playground/beach. We had my son's 4th birthday party here, and it couldn't have been easier or more fun. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a classic little birthday party. The staff made my guy feel so special!

Nice ride but other kid activities that kept us there an hour after the ride.
