On our way to vacation in Gulf Shores from Missouri, we stopped here so my daughter could ride on the carousel that my brother rode on 36 years ago, when he was just a baby. We were hurrying to get here before they closed, and barely made it by 4:30ish, unfortunately, when we got here tho, the carousel had been broke down for a couple of weeks and won't be up and running for awhile longer. However, the ladies working here are super sweet and friendly, they even let us go inside and take pictures, and my daughter got to sit on several of the different animals, so she still got to have fun. Then as we were leaving, we asked how much the cotton candy was, and they just let us have some, and even gave my daughter some other goodies, so I'm still giving them 5-stars because it's a neat place to see and the ladies working here are excellent.

WOW WOW WOW, Son: 5 Stars! Daughter: 1000 Stars! What a great piece of history captured here! They sure don't build them like they used to! The original gearing of this carousel and the way it completely is suspended is just awesome! When you get on it sways a little because it's all balanced from a center point. The lady has to sit in the middle and work the clutch and hand brake just like the old days! The lights work from the copper rings in the center and wheels that ride around them. The hair in most of the horses is real. The antlers in the dear is real. A MUST stop if you are driving on I-20!

Had our son's birthday party here a few weeks ago and was really impressed! The staff was so friendly and helpful and the kids were able to ride the carousel more than once. They provided me with an itinerary of sorts so I was able to keep everything running smoothly and on time, which was super helpful! There's plenty of room to set up and decorate and still have ample space for the kids to run and play. The carousel goes a little faster than I remember, but the kids didn't seem to mind!

We are not from Meredian. Took our grands for an adventure day, before school starts. We went to the Children's Museum first, it was FANTASTIC! Next stop was the Dentxel Carousel. Such a disappointment!!! It was not open.😥 We peaked through the windows, it is such a beautiful carousel! Online it says it's open. Their phone gives a busy signal, you could have a recording, that picks up 🤷‍♀️ Oh and it's featured in Southern Living magazine this month! Please Meredian fix the...
