Retro Roadmap Writeup
Want to ride the oldest Looff stander/stationary* carousel in the world? Visit Slater Park in Pawtucket Rhode Island! (*horses don't move up and down.)
Mod Betty took the Retro Roadkids there recently and while they may be getting a little too-cool-for-school about simple pleasures like a Merry-Go-Round, these classic rides never fail to bring a smile to my wizend old face.
This carousel, built in 1895 was installed at Slater Park in 1910. It has 3 rows of animals - 44 horses, 6 menagerie animals (including my dog) and 2 chariots.
It's open weekends in April through June, Daily in July and August, and back to weekends only again for September and October.
Add this to you list of Retro Fun Things To Do in Rhode Island!
