The children waited 2 yrs. for the carousel to return to its home in Downtown in the Gardens. Only to find out that now they will be charge $5.00 per ride. I don't know what this county is turning into. So sad .Miss the ride free beautiful merry go round we once enjoyed.

The more north you go in South Florida the less night live there is. Delray Beach had it's Atlantic Ave. West Palm Beach has its Clematis St and City Place. We, in Palm Beach Gardens, have Downtown. This area has music and fun every weekend. There is something for everyone. They used to have an awesome Mexican restaurant that had good food, music, and an outside bar.

right smack in the middle of carousel courtyard at Downtown In the Gardens is a beautiful work of art. it is the carousel. young and old alike can be seen riding the horses, aligators, flamingos and other animals endemic to florida.
it is perfectly positioned near Latte Fun, Cartoon Cuts, and Go Van Gogh. perfect for family entertainment. the carousel takes you back to a different time....perfect in the morning or after dinner before bedtime...actually anytime of day or night!!!

This carousel was disassembled and stored as they heavily renovate and rework Downtown. This includes moving the carousel out into the park and putting in a kids play fountain where it was. The new base is in place and my guess the carousel is about 25% reassembled. They seem to be taking their time with it, but I assume they'll have it put back together and running within the next 6 months.

Neat place to visit. The horses on the carousel are original, wood carved and hand painted. There is also signage and pictures explaining the different pieces along the walkway. Children will love riding the carousel.

We took the grandkids here after the movies at the mall. The grandkids loved it. We then put them on the train ride which goes through the mall.

The carousel is nice and seems well maintained. The ride could be a little longer but the kids liked it. We had a 2, 4, and 6 year old with us and we had an adult ride with each. They do allow one adult per child at no extra cost which is nice for safety. We'll come again. There isn't a lot to see and do in this shopping center, it's more designed for adult dinners and specialty shops...there are movie theaters too.

Nice carousel for kids 10 and under. Well maintained and priced appropriately. Train that goes around the shopping center is also fun.

Every time our granddaughter come to Palm Beach Gardens she asks to go to the Carousel. We have to negotiate limits with her in order to get her off at the end. She loves this ride as do all the children that are there. I hope it stays successful.

Whata’s the average time we can spend here and are 2 year olds able to go on carousel with adult supervision?
Written 26 February 2018
The carousel is located in a small strip mall. There are many shops, restaurants and ice cream stores, a movie house. yes a 2 year old can go on the carousel with and adult. There is also a train ride the child can go on with an adult. Call for hours of operation and check the local weather.

What are the hours of operation?
Written 9 March 2016
There is regular seating on the Carousel for people with small children It is running daily, weather permitting, as is the train that goes around the Mall. Tickets for the rides are sold in the Frozen Yogurt store across from the Carousel. If you have a stroller for the child, then you can certainly peruse the stores in the area.
