A couple of years ago they re-did the entire carousel building and unfortunately they stripped it of all of its charm. Now its just a bland, concrete shell, which doesnt fit the carousel housed within, nor does it provide any type of space one wants to linger in. I understand the old building was definitely in need of replacement, but they could have come up with something - anything - with even a shred of personality. As it stands, the new building does little more than remind of how much better the old one was. There is something to be said for character.
$2.50 usd or $5.00 for unlimited pass.Hand carved in 1909 by Charles Looff as a gift for his daughter, it contains 54 horses, 1 giraffe, 1 tiger and 2 chariot benches. The horses themselves, have two seperate sides; a romance side and a money side (the side you mount the horse.)Although in storage from 1967 – 1975, it was then rehoused in 2014 to ensure preservation of the wood carvings. It receives around 300,000 visitors yearly. to
Beautifully restored antique carousel. Protected from the elements...fun for a ride or just an opportunity to enjoy the craftsmanship and artistry of each piece.
We always love the Carousel. The brass brings that get you a free ride arent metal anymore, they are brass colored plastic, FYI. Dont miss out on a free ride! They have ice cream and snack and the gift shop is in the same building but is its own business. They have a little patio area outside too where you can sit and look at the river. Its one of our favorite places and inexpensive to let the kids ride and ride and ride.
Love the update. Nice place to sit and cool off while the kids ride the Carrousel. Really good price for an all day pass. If you are not from Spokane the gift shop is a great place to stop and get something.
They redid the carousel. I used to ride it when I was young. They kinda took away its luster. Staff seemed irritated. Theres no free parking and you have to walk over bums to get there. What happened Spokane......
Cool place,they did a nice job on fixing it up. Also paid $5 for unlimited rides nice
My son had a blast his first time there. We will definitely be back.
The carousel is very beautiful. Though the man running it wasnt that good
This is one of very few carrousels with hand carved horses and other animals
We love visiting the Loof carousel. It has become a family tradition when we vis the area. The improvements they made are great. The prices are very reasonable too... Thank you for having such a fun attraction for families.
It is a really fun place to visit. The only thing is that their concessions are a little overpriced. Other than that its pretty good
Really nice venue and atmosphere. 2 year old Son just flipped his lid... Hopefull that the skate ribbon figures out how to move on and cut tha loss n head in an immensely different direction for Spokane n the visitors.#McCoyKanonPatrik
Beautiful and fun for the family. Indoors too!
The casheir didnt give me my change and my kids were so excited to go on the carousel I didnt notice for 15 min.... When I asked managment they said they couldnt do anything till 630 when the kid counted his till.. Which is understandable...however the manager said a rude comment suggesting I was lying about it
Fantastic place for the kids to ride the horses on the carousel!
Historic Carousel with one of the few remaining ring grab games left in the country!
Fun for the kids. Gives parents a little break
Fantastic place for kids. Ice creams are cheap as well.
Less claustrophobic than the old carousel area, more open. Nearly $3 for a single ride
Its down town Spokane, fun for the whole family
The new carrousel building is great! Clean bathrooms, too!
My girls had fun
Love the ring-tossing on the carrousel!
All kinds of memories flooded back when I went back to Spokane and rose the Carrousel. A real treat for sure.
The new building and location is fantastic. The horses are beautiful.
So beautiful, fun place..
