Awesome to see a relic from the Buckroe Beach amusement park restored and operating today!
This was the second time in thirty five years that my wife and I experienced the joy of the carousel. What made it even better was sharing it with two of our youngest grandchildren ( their first time ).
My parents uses to live near Buckaro beach when they were first married. I heard about the carousel growing up and decided to look on line to fine more information about it. I was thrilled when I found out that it was intact and operational. I took my mom to see it as a surprise trip, it was great she was so happy to know it had been taken care of. The only bad part was that it was closed for a private party and we were not able to ride it.
There isnt many places left like this,especially in Hampton! It is great to be able to take your kids here, and the history of the carousel is awesome as well for anyone who appreciated history.
For $1 you can ride this 1920 beautiful and historical antique covered carousel. Its one of 190 remaining wooden merry-go-rounds that still exists. Restored to a majestic state of galloping creamy colored pastel horses. A treasured piece of history well worth the stop in downtown Hampton.
My grandson and my favorite place to spend together. Well kept up
Our 1 and a half year old son loved it the music and seeing all the horses. Workers were very courteous and friendly.
It was a great ride. Havent seen those horses in years. My grandsons had a blast.
Excellent experience with my 5 year old! Authentic fun!
Its the original from Buckroe Beach, beautifully restored and enclosed in a glass building. Still fun to ride at all ages!
Love the atmosphere, very affordable, and great for all ages.
Great addition to downtown, everyone of all ages should ride and enjoy.
Had fun with my fam️Thanks a lot
Looks fun but did not have time to ride. Will do on my next visit...
One of the few marry-g-rounds left..take you back to a better time and place...a must visit in the area.
Beautiful carousel! Lots of history and a great thing to share with grandchildren. Much better than a video game.
This carousel is a must-see. It was built around 1920, and used to be housed at Buckroe Beach. It has an amazing history! It has been beautifully restored, and even has a working calliope, which can be played while you ride. All of the workers are nice to be around, and it is a joy for young and old alike!
Fun for the kids...an air conditioned treat for adults.
It was closed for the season. I wish they had updated their hours to reflect that.
Fun for kids of all ages and the price is only $1. Right across from the Virginia Air and Space Museum
Great place to take the little ones. Cool vintage carousel. You can see the old calliope, and the horses move up and down while spinning. The staff is friendly, and the price is very good.It is also right by the NASA Virginia air and space museum.
My son loved the carousel! It’s a steal at $1 a ride per person. They use a real electric organ, so it can be a bit loud.
Heartwarming fun with antique steeds preserved in wonderful spot next to air & space museum
The children love it every time we go!
A huge beautiful carousel. Only costs $1.00 to ride at that.
Great time for all
Granddaughter loved it. But surprised to see 3 employees working with so few customers.
When they open on time they are fine but often they dont follow thier own hours. If you call to complain it may take awhile to get to someone actually useful but once there they are kind apologetic and will work with you to try and right the situation.
Such a delight for the kids, not to mention getting out of the heat for awhile. Our only issue was the carousel music was quite loud as this is an enclosed space, but hey, for a buck a ride; ya cant beat it !
Beautifully maintained and so lively
Have a lot of fun
Its closed
