Great Park Carousel — Attraction in Irvine

It's $3 for the kiddos, and hey, adults get to stand for free! I guess we're just too mature to be sitting on magical horses, right? But don't worry, folks, you'll have to sign a waiver before hopping on this wild ride. Safety first, people! For just $10, you can ride this carousel all day long. Yep, you heard it right. ALL. DAY. LONG. I don't know about you, but that's a pretty sweet deal if you ask me. I mean, who needs a boring 9-to-5 job when you can spend your entire day spinning in circles?

Rumor has it that this carousel holds the key to all the hidden secrets of Orange County. From buried treasure to secret tunnels that lead to Disneyland (shh, don't tell Mickey!), you never know what you might uncover during your carousel adventure. Just remember to keep your eyes peeled and your imagination turned up to 11. This carousel is the real deal, surpassing even the one at the Irvine Spectrum. Yes, folks, we're talking next-level carousel technology here. The horses gallop faster, the music is catchier, and the painted scenery will make you believe you're riding through the magical land of unicorns and rainbows.

If you're up for a wild ride through the hidden secrets of Orange County, buckle up and head straight to the Great Park Carousel. It's a carousel experience like no other, filled with laughter, magic, and a whole lot of spinning. Trust me, you...

You go up to 400ft I believe. It was super high for me since I'm afraid of heights. You can walk around if you like. The pilot was very fun and friendly. He helped me get over my jitters. He gave us a mini sight seeing experience from above. I definitely recommend this experience especially for people like me that are...

I'd give it more Stars than 5. One of a kind park in the world in our backyard! Absolutely huge and incredibly well maintained. It's truly one of the hidden secrets or yet to be discovered secrets of Orange County let alone Irvine! I HIGHLY recommend visiting and bring kids, family and friends here. Be prepared to walk as there is a lot to walk. I suggest biking as you can see more stuff around. The air-baloon and timeline walk is simply...
