You can visit the best nature on decide. Best customer service; they give us our tickets back in give us a free ride just because the ride was a few minutes shorter than it was planned to be for some technical issue. We can use those tickets back in the future for another ride.

I love this place. Sometimes simple is good. There is a carousel with a small cafe. The folks who run the carousel are super warm and friendly. The wait times are low, carousel duration is reasonable and cost is $4 per ticket. Recommend for your kiddos!! I only wish tickets here were interchangeable with that of train. We ended up buying one too many and ended up donating to somebody else.

Visiting the Tilton Park merry-go-round was a delightful experience. This historic carousel, dating back to 1911, is beautifully maintained, with vibrant colors and charming, hand-painted horses that capture the whimsy and magic of a classic carousel. The music playing added to the nostalgic feel, making it a perfect attraction for families and children. Children under a certain height have to be accompanied by an adult. The horses have slavery belts attached. Some of the horses go up and down, while other remain fixed. Only select horses can carry adults. The staff was friendly and ensured the safety of all riders, which was reassuring. The ride itself was smooth and just the right length to be enjoyable without feeling too short. Overall, the Tilton Park merry-go-round is a fantastic spot for a fun and memorable outing.

Brought my 1-year-old niece here to ride on the merry-go-round. I probably had more fun with it than she did. She was just in awe of the experience. The merry-go-round was built in 1911 and has been here for over 40 years at least. Some friends recommended this attraction to us. A fun thing to do with kids. Staff was very friendly.
