Carousel Gardens Amusement Park — Attraction in New Orleans

The event itself was great. The workers are the worst. The music-express worker who was in the booth needs to be fired. My two sons and I got on the ride and he told my two sons to switch seats. One of my Sons (age8) asked why and he said can't you read and pointed at a sign (largest person sits to the left). Well my son told him it said largest not tallest which he is correct. He is larger than his brother but not taller. The boys Switched seats anyway and the ride began. My Now tallest son was falling out the seat during the forward and had to hold on to him best I could. After the Forward the ride stops before going backwards and I asked him to let us off because my son is falling. He told me he couldn't Stop the ride to let us off which the ride was already stopped just not completed. So while going Backwards my son began to slip again and after the ride my son told him I could have died he just rolled his eyes at my son. Last night my son woke up screaming because of nightmares so at this point I will be getting a lawyer. The event was nice the young male works (mostly all of them at the park) was very unprofessional. The female workers were the best. Very Friendly and smiling from ear to ear. My son Has a disability and now will need therapy so the people responsible needs to be held...

Overly EXPENSIVE. The grounds are well kept, as are the rides. The biggest problem is the cost of entry. Second biggest problem is the staff......overall rude, bored, impatient, slow-moving, and unaccommodating. Attitude PLUS. These are young kids fresh out of or still in HS, who don’t bother hiding the fact they don’t care about your experience at all. They’re never in a hurry. Some of the rides seem much shorter if there’s a long line. I love the rides, I wish there were a couple more adult-interest rides, but I can live with that. The food is horrible and likewise overpriced. I live in the area & have taken my son there many times since he was a toddler. I just can’t believe the $ now. CP should consider a locals’ discount on SOMETHING. I’m going again this evening for my son’s school night there, IF they’re open. It’s been raining all day. We obviously won’t go if only 3-4 rides are running, which happened at my son’s 2nd birthday party. Only the carousel was open. At least they gave us rain check passes to give our...

If I could leave a 0 star I would. I’m so disappointed with how this turned out. We are from Florida and visited this amusement park on a Saturday. We showed up and were told only 2 rides were open: the carousel and the bumper cars. However the entry fee was still the same $25 each! When we got in, there were tons of employees walking around but nobody was running the two rides that were “open”. When we asked for help, they said “I don’t know who’s running this ride, this isn’t my ride, and they aren’t supposed to leave their ride” but yet nobody helped or got someone that could help. One guy even told us they were closed to the public and only open to birthday parties? But the front of the park didn’t say that and we paid.

What a waste of time. What a waste of a Saturday. It was bright and sunny out, yet no riders were...
