Me and my wife went here after supper and had the banana split. Was so great that we will be going back next time we are in Helena in July. More

I love to watch my grandkids smiling faces while they get on the carousel and pick out one the beautifully hand carved animals. They get a kick out trying to grab the brass ring for a free ride. Wonderful family entertainment. More

My neice has absolutely loved every visit to this place as have we. Always a great time for the family. Ice cream and rides and candy , like a mini-fair at any time of year for a youngster. More

Wish we would have had more time to spend in the surrounding area, but the carousel was beautiful and loved the ice cream. More

If you are traveling with children, take some time and visit the Great Northern Carousel (fun for adults, also). After a ride, be sure to enjoy the ice cream. More

Fun, but very crowded. Not much space in eating area. Ice cream is good, but not outstanding & is expensive. Rides also spendy at $2.00 a ride. A warning about water in bathrooms....BEWARE...it is SCALDING HOT....burned our child badly. Beautiful carvings of MT animals for riding on & neat stained glass. More
