No matter your age, there is just something special about riding a carousel. It brings the child out in all of us. We have a family tradition since my oldest little girl was eight months old. everywhere we travel, we go find the local carousel. So, we collect carousel pictures and memories. We all love it, even my husband jumps on it once in a while.
Believe it or not, we do have two of the best carousels in Miami right here in our community. We are very lucky to have them nearby. The info is below but please make sure to call them before you head out, days and hours of operation do change.
