Adirondack Carousel — Attraction in Town of Harrietstown

Awesome place! Very cool talking to the employees who are volunteers giving their time & knowledge of the area & of the absolutely Priceless animal carvings that make up the ride! As an amateur, woodworker myself, I truly mean priceless. They are amazing Word that must’ve taken hours to create. It was explained to us that every piece was hand carved, then painted then delivered onsite 100% free of charge by local artists! The whole carousel was donated! Each animal has details that really make them one of a kind masterpieces! My daughter is a “carousel aficionado” at age 3 going on 30 fell in love with 1 & made sure she told everyone for the next 3 days that it was her favorite favorite! A Linx Coincidental & appropriately named “Moonlight” a beautifully stunning carving (with a bunny in a lunchbox In my opinion) Yes, I failed to mention that each carving was given a name & has a back story with their very own coloring sheet that was given free of charge at the arts & crafts table which itself is next to the puzzle table (my wife's favorite part) a gift shop & outdoor playground makes this a must visit spot if you are staying in the area or just passing through! I highly recommend stopping by to see this place with your kids or just to lay your eyes on a hidden work of art that otherwise you may have never known was there!

The customer service person was saying goodbye to a family, and was closing the building. As we began to walk away, the lady invited us in for the last ride of the day. She also shared with us the story of bring the carousel to Saranak. She could have easily said she was closing, but instead was incredibly inviting. Thank...

My son and I were camping at Meachem Lake near by. We came to Saranac to check it out. The carousel and surrounding displays were fun but the whole place seemed really static and sleepy. That may be because there were no people there when we got there but it was a weekend day. The carousel was cool. They have animals in it from the area...ALL the animals...including black flies, lol! For any of you who aren't familiar, black flies are the scourge from hell and folks in the area have learned to have a healthy sense of...
