      Step into the past with 25 cent rides! For only ten dollars our kids 2-6 enjoyed riding all of the rides. There are boats, planes, cars, rockets, and a carousel, all of which spun around in circles. This may not sound exciting to you but to a kid every ride is a new adventure and watching their faces is a brand new experience every time. Occasionally, open is the vertically spinning Farris wheel. There is a max height limit of 52 inches but there is a ski ball game, ice cream, and food. While you're there, do catch the 2:00 magic show. It's charming and very entertaining for the kids. Nearby is a park and "Lake beach". I do not suggest planning to swim in this beach as majority of the time the water is filled with E.Coli but that is for another yelp review.

      In conclusion, if you have a toddler to entertain for an afternoon this is worth the drive.

      Super cute for the little ones. Highly regret not taking my little guy when he was younger. Great day trip from the Buffalo Suburbs.

      We had a great time today. For $5 our two kids road all the rides and a couple twice. I got to play some old school skee ball because my kids weren't old enough. And we all had some ice cream. There was also a magic show. The kids said it was the "best day". :-)

      A couple people recommended this park to me because I have a preschooler, and I definitely have to pass this recommendation on to other parents of young kids.

      The park is extremely affordable, with no admission fee and tickets only 25 cents a piece. All the rides cost one ticket, and the duck game costs two.

      My son tried one ride after watching other kids on it, but he immediately hated it after it started. We told the ride attendant and she stopped the ride, telling the other kids to stay in their seats while she helped my son off. I appreciated how quickly this was handled, without any judgment or shame.

      Unfortunately my son refused to try any of the other rides, as they are very similar (going around in a circle), but he still enjoyed the duck game and the Perry's ice cream, which was our biggest expense at the park but not outrageous.

      For older folks (ages 8+), there's skee ball, and people of all ages can ride the carousel. There's a magic show everyday starting at 2 pm, but we didn't stay to see it since we needed to start our drive home.

      Bathrooms are very clean, and they have rocking chairs for parents with babies, plus a fenced off area for nursing moms.

      The park is open Memorial Day through Labor Day. Even though the rides were not a hit with my kiddo this year, we'd like to come back next summer since he still had a positive experience, and it's so affordable. As an added bonus, the lake is a very short walk away.

      Ride my child hated, but all the other kids seemed fine!

      So glad we made it there before the season ended this year! Cool spot for little kids! Run by volunteers and the rides are only 25 cents each! Such a great deal and kids/toddlers love it! Perfect for a sunny day. Bathrooms are super clean too.

      Came to see the Carousel Park while in Olcott yesterday but wasn't able to go in since it was locked up tight due to Covid. It's a cute little amusement park on Lake Ontario. I emphasize the word little. There's only a handful of rides but honestly for little ones It's perfect. They get to ride a few rides, watch a magic show or whatever other kids entertainment they have on their stage and maybe get a ice cream. After that you can head down to Olcott Beach or over to Krull Park. And it won't cost you an arm and a leg!

      Best part to me though is their vintage arcade with old time skee ball machines. You can play for $.25 a game! They even have a chalk board on the wall for recording the high games of the day.

      Perfect for small children.

      This a nice little "kiddie park". There is a double-tier carousel, and four additional rides (slow vehicles that go in a circle: Planes, Boats, Cars, Rockets). There is still a small ferris wheel but it's been closed since 2020. Hopefully they bring it back now that other festivals/carnivals are operating in full. All rides are still only 25 cents each!

      There are restrooms, a small food/ice cream stand, and a (very small) vintage arcade.

      This park is perfect for ages 2-5(6?); much more than that and it would probably feel a little dull.

      Nestled between Olcott Beach and Knull Park, a great stop for a girls day out!

      We stopped by for Old Olcott Days and had a fun time! They had a skeeball competition going, rides, games, ice cream and other food! They also had a historic wagon ride, wine tastings, farm stand, and more!

      They host events in the summer often so check their calendar.

      Would highly recommend visiting in the summer!
