Sad to not be able to take kid on rebuild carousel from historic Columbia Gardens. I did get to see some of the reconstruction years ago in the old mall. I added a few pictures... the park was amazing earning 5 stars. Try Wed thru Sun if you want ride the carousel. I also found some old photos of the original Columbia Gardens and it appears to have been an amusement park that was shut down for alternative land use. It is nice when a community gets together to bring back a slice of the past for the next generation. I would view this to be a good use of resources. By the way be sure to take your children to the playground that is across the parking lot from the carousel. The playground is what I would have dreamed of as a kid. There are so many different things to do that the adults even get involved and play, YES PLAY, with the kids. It is so nice to see. The signs I have seen scattered around town stating Believe in Butte are clearly part of the citizens culture and the initiative of the local government. It appears to be working...as an out of towner I can say that I believe in Butte.
The outside was beautiful, but the carousel was closed as of 07/08/2020. Im sure the inside was just as awesome as the outside!
Nice carousel. Very pretty
Great carousel. Fun, easy ride. Great parking. Ice cream to buy. You can have parties. Gift shop. Other food, but I did not check out the menu.
Great time very cautious during Covid
What a great place for kids. The park outside is so well done and the beautiful carousel is the result of hard work and amazing charity.
Great place! The carousel horses were well made and beautiful. The ride was long and worth the money. Employees were incredibly friendly!
The carousel is operational despite the facility still being partially unfinished. Everything is fairly clean and the staff we encountered were sweet and attentive, one gal in particular standing out, but I didnt get her name. I was very excited by the assortment of goodies both edible and stationary. The only thing I was sad to see was the number of beautiful horses around with signs such as do not touch and please do not sit on without any sort of barriers- because there were lots of little kids around trying to climb and play with them. Including our last remaining horse from our original carousel, which likely REALLY shouldnt be touched given the state it is in.
It was okay pretty basic. Employees were friendly.. The kids when on the ride looked like they were bored to death I think butte needs a lil updated the 50s called they want there horses back.
Great place. The city has done a lot of major renovation to Stodden park where this is located. Great area for lunches and hangouts. Right next to Ridge Waters with Montanas longest lazy river. Also worth the visit.
It was awesome! So much fun, it was so clean and the staff had the best customer service. I will definitely go again.
Playground was amazing, park was extremely cool!!
Amazing HAPPY to finally see all the Beautiful Horses, & an old part of the Columbia Gardens. Lots of flavors to choose from- ice cream.
I really like the carousel even though they took forever to make it, it was totally worth it because a lot of my family members helped make the horses.
Fair price for carousel ride, ice cream, and other treats. Clean bathrooms. Nice people. Kids had fun!
So happy they did this in remembrance of Columbia gardens and the town of butte
Well worth seeing. It is only a dollar or two to ride the carousel. Nicely done.
All those involved in this project should be very proud of the outcome. This is an amazing representation of fond memories that I have of the Columbia Gardens.
Fun little stop for the kiddos. The park outside is worth the trip!
Absolutely wonderful! Love all the history and so nice having somewhere to bring the kids year round!
