Author: Edyth Schoenstein
You may recall the feeling of wind blowing through your hair, and music and flashing lights as you sit upon a vibrant and colorful horse? I’m referring to a carousel ride as you might have figured out!
Families have enjoyed Cape Cod family vacations for many years and their fondest memories are of the carousel rides (which are quite popular on the Cape).
Interesting Fact
Did you know carousel horses were once used to train cavalry soldiers?
The Cape relishes in the history of carousel rides. You can find them at the Cape Cod Carousel and Funhouse Arcade, Island Carousel at Cape Cod Mall and the Flying Horse Carousel in Oak Bluffs on Martha’s Vineyard – just to name a few.
Built in 1876, the Flying Horse is the oldest carousel in the U.S. and was built by Charles Dare. Kids and adults alike love it – it costs less than two dollars for a ride.
Ride For Free!
The hand carved carousel at Heritage Museum and Gardens is another historic carousel. It was crafted in 1912 by Charles Looff and rides are free with museum admission.
Families flock to Cape Cod in the summers and rarely would you find yourself in a position without something fun to do. A Cape Cod family vacation is ideal for children and adults alike, since there is so many activities one can take part in.

On the Cape, there are things that can bring out the kid in you, even for those of you with teenagers on the go or busy toddlers. Not much can compare to feeling like a child again, and participating in activities that bring back those wonderful memories of your past.
