"Fun!"
I've been going on this carousel since I was younger. I love going on and trying to get the special brass ring that will allow me to get another ride for free! Now I watch kids on the ride getting as excited as I was! This is the oldest carousel in the world. You just have to see it if you're in MV. It's a tourist attraction, but you will enjoy bringing the kids.

"Fun with the Family"
An old wooden building houses the Flying Horses Carousel, a National Historic Landmark that’s wonderfully alive with merry-go-round lovers of all ages. It’s the oldest operating carousel in the country; the horses were carved in 1876. There’s even a brass ring.
