Our picks
Sweet PrizeBy Jamie McBain on Friday, November 11, 2011 Our family's favorite carousel is the one inside of the Westfield-Southlake Mall in Merrillville, IN (only 45 mins. away if traffic's not bad). It's an indoor, double-decker, $2, multi-animal ride with seatbelts on each of them close to my little monkey the whole time! It's also great because the mall is home to a FunFlatables location which only has open jump (which means it's not closed for private parties- ever!)...hard to find on the weekends! Not to mention the free play area close to the carousel that gives a little bit of variety and a moment for the adults to sit down and catch their breath. All in all, totally worth the trip every time! |
Favorite CarouselBy Anne Lewis on Friday, November 11, 2011 My kids love riding the carousels at Orland Park Mall and Chicago Ridge Mall. We take them there, during the winter months, to play in the play areas and burn off some steam. |

CarouselBy Carla on Friday, November 11, 2011 My daughter never wants to get off the one at the Lincoln Park Zoo. We'll be going for Zoolights with as many Diet Pepsi cans, which currently have a 2 for 1 coupon on them, as we can carry! |
Favorite CarouselBy Nicole on Friday, November 11, 2011 My 6 1/2 yr olds favorite carousel happens to be the one at fox valley mall. If she is good she gets to take a carousel ride before we leave. Shes trying to ride a new animal each time she rides which is probaly at least half of them by now ;) |

Favorite CarouselBy Margaret Smith on Friday, November 11, 2011 Without a doubt, our family will miss the timeless tradition of riding the carousel at Kiddie Land...sigh...so many childhood memories for myself as well, the end of an era. |
"Favorite Carousel"By Corey on Friday, November 11, 2011 Lincoln Park Zoo - way more exciting than the animals these days for my 2 yr old. Sounds like there are some other carousels I need to check out though! |
