One of the most delightful attractions I've ever seen! The hand-carved animals are full of fun and personality! Be prepared for a magical journey! The sheep, moose and cow are my favorite animals. Nice wheelchair-accessible seats too with friendly animals to accompany riders, including a gorilla and a bear. Look for all kinds of surprising little details among the rafters... More

This is a really fun stop in Nederland Colorado. Nederland is just about a 25 to 30 minute drive from Boulder, CO in the mountains to the west. They have hand made all the carousel animals and have the old time music playing. It only costs a dollar and is really fun. Really good coffee shop across the street from... More

Whenever we have friends and family come to visit us in Nederland, we always make sure that we treat them to a ride on this amazing carousel. Everyone has loved it! We took my husband's 92 year old mother for a ride...she was a bit nervous about getting on, but the staff was excellent in getting her seated and making... More

This lovingly carved carousel has fantastic looking wild creatures and some humans too. It tells a story. Kids love riding on as many animals as they can and stamping their passports. Friendly operators. The carousel is open almost every day and isn't often over-crowded. It's located near two tasty ice cream shops (one housed in old rail cars, the other... More

Take a trip to the beautiful mountains, and settle in to Nederland where you'll find a 1/2 day's worth of shopping, snacking, and this is the prize gem. It hasn't been open too many years; but it's bringing people out from miles around. The quality of the restoration and art is amazing. The animals are on tall poles, and they... More

My wife, 5 year old daughter and I go here once every other month or so. We like the puppet play area almost as much as the carousel itself. More

Yes, at the most basic level this is a merry go round. But it is quirky, cool and a little off, much like Nederland itself. Sure, you can bring kids. But come with adults and see who is really a kid at heart. Love the led lighting to keep the carousel green. More

Each animal on the carousel is beutifully carved and painted. There's a 1913 Wurlitzer music box (enclosed in glass so you can see it) playing the accompanying music. Price is $1 for each ride (approx 3 minutes). If you have kids, you'll end up riding more than once! It's also fun to stand in the entryway and watch the carousel.... More

They barely have any lines. Of course, more crowded on weekends, but it moves quick. The restoration is very nice. More
