In this hectic age of computer-created diversions, it is truly refreshing, and even somewhat calming, to lay eyes upon an old-fashioned carousel. Located in Caras Park, this merry-go-round features 38 horses that were all individually hand-carved and painted by local artists. The detail is stunning, not surprising because each horse on average, took 800 hours to carve and paint. The accompanying Stinson Band Organ, with its 400 pipes, ranks as the largest carousel organ in the country. A three-and-a-half minute ride costs a mere 50 cents. A gift shop is on-site.

A fun experience to share with a companion. Not only is it fun, but it's also informative, as they have a maintenance workshop and a small museum open to the public.
MoreWe keep coming back year after year. It's one of those things that young children will remember forever, and they will want to recapture the experience as often as possible.
MoreYour never to old for a carousel ride!! We were told this is the second fastest carousel ride in the US and I now believe it
MoreWell done, Missoula. Great park for little ones to get outdoors. The Carousel is a great ride for all ages, and the playground is amazing. Would recommend this as a stop for young kids.
MoreA very cool area of Caras park for the kiddos. Lots of interesting designs and options for the kids to burn off energy on. We apprecitate the workmanship that goes into creating a cool experience and gives the park a heightened feel from your standard pkaygrounds.
