I love this place!

By stacy, 4/24/08

I went there with a bunch of friends for spring break and it was awesome! I got the brass ring twice! It is truly one of those places that you must go before you die. The staff is made of lot of hot guys too;)

Flying High!

By A Yahoo! Contributor, 8/31/05

Absolute must see for the young and young at heart. My niece was so excited to grab one of the brass rings! My sister is going to make a special momento of it along with pictures of our wonderful time in Oak Bluffs. So much to see and do - great meeting place if breaking into groups and across from Giordano's Pizza makes it even better!

MUST RIDE!

By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/21/04

Great bit of American history that you can acutally sit on! My kids talk about it for weeks before vacation (and they are teenagers now). MUST DO!

Vineyard lasting memory

By RobCo, 8/20/04

Probably one of the only times you'll get to try for the "brass ring" on a true American classic. This carousel is a beautiful antique that continues to live and give your family a lasting memory.
