Adirondack Carousel, Saranac Lake

Beautiful carousel filled with hand carved local animals. Nice staff small gift shop. It is $2.50 to ride or You can purchase a punch card at a savings. Available for special events. Check to see if they are open. When we went it was Thursday thru Sunday

My son and I were camping at Meachem Lake near by. We came to Saranac to check it out. The carousel and surrounding displays were fun but the whole place seemed really static and sleepy. That may be because there were no people there when we got there but it was a weekend day. The carousel was cool. They have animals in it from the area...ALL the animals...including black flies, lol! For any of you who aren't familiar, black flies are the scourge from hell and folks in the area have learned to have a healthy sense of humor about them.

This is a great carousel with all the different hand sculpted animals to ride on makes it very unique. It was very reasonably priced too. The people who ran the carousel were very knowledgeable and eager to answer questions. A must see if you are in the Saranac Lake area.

Worth a visit if you're around. The animals are hand-carved and rides are cheap!

we visit here this pass 4th of july. not much was going on in the town and not too many people were out and about. which was surprising to me. we came across here and i love older carousels. this one was a little smaller than i expected but very nice and well care for. my 14 year old like the area but wasn't into it. but all the younger kids were having a blast. my wife and i had couldn't pass up a ride. tho it was a little short we enjoyed being a kid once again. it was a nice touch the put out watermelon and cookies for their guest. they do have a small selection of drinks to purchase but my wife and son were looking for some cotton candy, popcorn or hot dogs to snack on. the gift shop was ok but i was thinking since the carousel in the main attraction. maybe it would be nice to have more of a carnival theme like carnival food, music and carousel items to buy in the gift shop. all in all the park grounds are big enough for kids to run around safely and keep clean. the carousel is nice, bathroom are clean and the staff was friendly. a good place to have some fun with your kids. more small town should have a place like this.
