Neat ride on a carousel. Lots of different animals.

Delightful little place. My daughter loved the different animals on the carousel and the little gift section at the register had some interesting stuff. We only wish it was possible to buy some kind of multiple ride pass. Ended up having to jump off the ride and run all the way around the carousel back to the register for more tokens several times.

Stopped here after a walk on suspension bridge to settle the hearty breakfast at Taste of Belgium. Had four kids and three adults. We all loved the experience. Was only $2 for a ride. Surprised to hear this was a four year old carousel-figured it would have been old and refurbished.

Beautiful Indoor Carousel just inside the park. Animals unique beyond horses; a pig, gorilla, cheetah, white tiger, giraffe, a fish, birds, even a brightly colored praying mantis. Nice courtyard outside with stairs that lead to the Riverfront Park.At the time we were there, Saturday morning, they had educators there with live owls and were displaying and answering questions about them.Negs: No professional cameras are allowed unless you purchase a permit.

A fablous, beautiful, whimsical carousel. A great addition to our city. The carousel absolutely one of a kind. Now across the street is the ferris wheel that offers a unique view on Cincinnati and Newport. My advice is to take a stroll through the park, then stop by Carol Anns Carousel, stroll through the unique gift shop there (reasonably priced), have lunch at Yard House (or one of the many restaurants in the area), then end with a great ride on the ferris wheel. I would also like to Ann that the carousel is in a glass building which is climate controlled. The ferris wheel is also heated and/or air conditioned. The Carousel deserves five stars for the experience and the beauty.

What a simply great place! The whole area around here is fantastic!

So much fun to have it all to ourselves.

Fun for small children. Lots of special events. Great place to occupy kids for a little while. Many different animals on the carousel.

MY GRAND DAUGHTER ABSOLUTELY LOVED THE CAROUSEL, SHE JUST COULDNT GET ENOUGH.... FOR FUTURE REFERENCE I WILL TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE DEALS AVAILABLE WITH MULTIPLE PURCHASES AS OPPOSED TO ONE AT A TIME. THE ARTWORK IS AMAZING!

Weve been here several times and its always a pleasure. Our visit today was just as nice. The ride is inexpensive and the man who runs the carousel is friendly and cheerful. The carousel is beautiful and completely clean and there are restrooms available and an elevator to take you down to the river level.There are signs posted that say they do not want people to take photos with a camera but that cell phone photos are welcomed and encouraged.

Just a neat little ride in an awesome area of town. $2 a spin is reasonable. If you appreciate the paintings and detail of the carousel spend the extra 2 bucks and get the little book. Gives you all the info on the pieces and who all made it happen

We enjoyed the Carol Ann Carousel! It was well air condition! Clean and fun building with beautiful sights or the city and riverfront. Prices were very reasonable and little gift shop had some fun options. The carousel was beautiful and well made.

Went here back in December. It was great and a must see while in Cincinnati. I’m an adult and thought the different animals were beautiful. I’m sure children will love it. Hope to see it again someday!

Do you feel like going around in a circle for a few minutes? Then look no further! This ride will satisfy all you go round needs and it looks good doing it. animals with hats? Yes please! A bench that goes neither up nor down? It has it! Air conditioning? Hallelujah!

Nice family stop between Tennessee and Michigan. Park, indoor carousel, splash pad, nice walk along the riverfront with activities to do. Manual floor piano, etc. New this year is a huge ferris wheel with enclosed seating and a/c!

Very cute place. Wonderful view of the river.

Great carousel with unique animals. The kids have a lot of fun and the price gets lower per ride the more tokens you buy at a time

My daughter and I had an amazing time we will definitely be coming back again

Charming and family friendly. Very inexpensive. The kids love hanging in their tokens and finding their favorite animal

Its all hand painted and theres murals all over the place tjat are out of this world. Amazingly beautiful

The carousel is a beautiful celebration of Cincinnati landmarks and history

My granddaughters lived the carousel ride and the price is very reasonable ($2 each). Its a really beautiful carousel and the park its in is beautiful. Its indoors so during the summer its a great place to go cool off and relax on the ride after playing outside.

Fun, fun, fun! Right on the Cincinnati riverfront which is such a nice area.

Great place to bring children of any age. Our 9 month old absolutely loved riding around on the stationary car and some of the smaller oscillating animals.

What a precious gem to have in the city. Cincinnati residents should cherish the awesomeness that is Carol Anns Carousel!A clean safe setting with super convenient parking!

Went to my granddaughters first birthday here. She loved it! Very clean and all the kids had a great time.

I would recommend this to everyone. We took jet Express to put in bay. We got senior discounts and the employees were very helpful with information about put in bay.

I took my grandchildren. It was fun and they enjoyed it! Very affordable; $2 per person and age 3 and under free and their chaperone also.

Fun for the family. Beautiful artwork!

A great place to cool down and rest after walking in Smale with the kiddos. Its a little pricey, but hey, you can ride a cricket? How many cities have a carousel with a cricket??? This one does.

The woman running the carousel was amazing, she helped to make my grandchildrens day. She was a blessing!

Perfect place to hang out

Fun for the kids. Very beautiful ride. And the keep it cool in the building

This is such a great addition to river front for kids to see and do.

Carol Anns Carousel is a fun place for kids and grownups alike. If you love the whimsy of a carousel and the many different animals that are available to ride, you will love this place!

Great fun and great views of the Cincinnati area. Good for adults as well as children.

Extremly clean setup in a beautiful building. $2 per rider and adults ride free when accompanied by a toddler!

Grandkids loved it. Nice location, clean, speedy service. Price not bad at $2 per person.

Beautiful. Love the Cincinnati theme. Wish it was outside, but understand why they enclosed it.

Fun! Cute animals, cute carousel. $2 a person.

Great staff. Awesome carousel characters and made my kids really happy.

Great place to take the grandkids... not crowded... very fun ride and inside too!!

This carousel is never open. Every time I take my granddaughter down to the park it is closed. It is pretty and I am glad it is in Cincinnati, but please, extend the hours.

Beautifully restored and reasonable token prices makes this a great stop for kids of all ages

The kids who were helping out with the tickets and ticket line were super nice to our kiddos.

Always fun. My son has to ride at least once anytime were at Smale park.

Wonderful experience! Hired for a company event, staff was professional and very accommodating

A lovely carousel. Mad me feel like a kid again.

Nostalgic Merry go Round

It is praiseworthy in all respects.

Cincinnati Business District have came a long way.. I remember went Covington BUS terminal was there!! Beautiful!!!

Beautiful working carousel. Everything is indoors. They ha vfc e restrooms and can do birthday parties. Also let your kids bring a swimsuit for outside in the water play area afterwards.

Great ride for all in the family

This park is a day of fun.....the carousel provides air conditioning and a beautiful indoor carousel. Water play out both exits and a riverside of fun from stadium to stadium.

This was a little bit of nostalgia from days ago. . We really enjoyed every second.

The decorations of the animals are fantastic and personalized to Cincinnati. They even feature the Italian Wall Lizards brought to Cincinnati by little boy Lazarus.

Everyone should ride the carousel at least once

Fun for family and kids reasonable prices

So beautiful and so uniquely specific to Cincinnati! You can find a painting or animal that represents anyone’s favorite part of the city. Although, I must say, I couldn’t choose - every part of this city is so fantastic.Check Cincy Savers for coupons to save yourself some money!

I had a camera on my arm walking in and the staff freaked out! Said that since they don’t know if I’m a pro or not I couldn’t come in with it- I was my 2 year old daughter. Why does it matter if I am a pro or not? Why wouldn’t they want free advertisement by people sharing pics from the location? Why is my camera a bigger deal than me being a paying customer?

Friendly people (workers)

Great fun.

Beautifully detailed and unique animals to ride with the best view in Cincinnati. The price is very reasonable and immaculately clean.

Judy is a great customer service person!

Favorite place to go the staff is so friendly

$2 to ride, more tokens for more $ (6/$10 etc)

Down on the Banks with some of the Grandchildren!

Drop dead beautiful

Nice place but very poor photography policy.

So beautiful and fun for children and adults.

One of our favorite places in Downtown Cincy.

Great for kids, it calls out much of what Cincinnati is proud about

They have a Bearcat to ride!

Last ticket sells at 645p. They was not kidding. Walk up to the counter at 645. Odd time to close for a Saturday night for wanting people to come to the banks.

Madel8ne and I enjoyed the ride

Kids loved it.

Fun, but a little costly per ride.

Another great addition to Cincinnati!

Awesome place for the family

Such a family-friendly experience

Beautiful and safe for kids
