“Best $3 I've spent”
This is a must do thing with your children or grandchildren if you are in Canberra. It really brings back the memory of childhood and the delight and magic of being on a carousel, with the horses...

“A cute carousel ride for young and old”
It was a nice surprise to find this merry go round. $3 per ride - for young and old. Our 4 yr old went on 3 rides and wanted to keep going. If you get the chance go have a ride!
