A great legacy to have this carousel still up and running, for just 5 cents a ride! Our little one is a little too young yet to really appreciate it, but we'll be back!

Ok so obviously you get the point ;) it is 5 cents! And YES! How do you go wrong??!!! :) You simply cant* IF you go to St.Kitts go to Port Dalhousie and enjoy :) IT is by the water... I do think the beach tends to stink during the hot long summer.... But usually May June is safe... Enjoy... More

I don't care who you are... You need to take a ride on the Lakeside Park Carousel!! Are you tired of the crowds along the walls at the Niagara Falls? This less known spot is a local fave!! You can walk along the pier out into Lake Ontario, picnic on the beach, or climb a tree at Lakeside Park. Everyone... More

My children grew up in Port Dalhousie and walking to the park and going on the nickel carousel rides was a part of their heritage. A ride and an ice cream cone spelled happiness to them and didn't cost a fortune. They had their favourite animals and even gave them names.

Where else but here can you take a ride on a Merry Go Round for only $0.05? This attraction is a historic rebuilt Carousel that is now run by the City of St Catharines during the summer months. Imagine giving your kids one dollar and they could ride it all afternoon. Just a heads up, not all the horses go... More

The carousel itself is beautiful, but the surrounding area is as well. You can spend the day at the beach with your family as it is steps away from the carousel. There are also restaurants and bars nearby. What a great way to spend a summer day!

For a mere nickel you can ride a restored and historically significant carousel. As you go around you can see Lake Ontario. It's worth a stroll to the beach and over to the pier. Get an ice cream and have a perfect day.
