While Disneyland gives you modern technology
and fancy rides, what they seriously lack, Bushnell Park Carousel can provide
you. This is THE place to be if you’re
really into Carousels! There are superb
merry-go-rounds and each of them is as historical as they are breathtaking! I
absolutely fell in love with the place the moment my Hartford
CT charter bus rolled into this place. All lined
up in a row, inviting and calling out to me – I felt like the child in me was
finally waking up. I looked around me and saw the delightful faces of children
all caught up in their own rides and finally understood what it means to connect
with the child within you.
The park is basically lined up in rows, right around three
to four rows of rides, and if you looked at it that way, it’s really nothing
much but seriously, it was like a childhood dream come true! These are antiques
we’re talking about because the wooden carousels were designed and built way
back in 1914 by Stein and Goldstein. And in fact, there aren’t many of these
operating in the country.
We took plenty of pictures during that Hartford
CT charter bus rental visit and one night is
definitely not enough and yes, I’d be going back for more. All around Bushnell,
there’s lots of space for the kids to play in and I can tell that parents there
were completely relaxed while the kids played. I can only imagine what it would
have been like if I had been here during summer time….
We were lucky, we were told, that we didn’t organize our Harford
CT charter bus rental vacation during peak time or
when there was an event going on because it can get very crowded. We had all
the space we can ever wish for and could ride all those fancy-looking horses
the names of which I can never remember, again and again and again. I can imagine
myself as a little girl again, immersed in a world where there are castles,
horses and carriages, chariots and….of course, knights!
When we were there, there was a Harford
CT charter bus of people who came out and they
appeared to be celebrating someone’s birthday. What a wonderful idea! Bushnell
is the perfectly magical place to have a child’s birthday – much better than at
McDonalds, as far as I can tell. Most importantly, it doesn’t cost as much.
Each ride is at $1 each (at the time when I was there) and there was popcorn
the whole night through.
For once, I was actually rather interested in the
information they provided about the carousel and spent some time reading up on
these horses. What can I say? It was enchanting!
Book yourself a Harford CT
charter bus rental package and head on over to Bushnell Park Carousel. I
promise you, you won’t regret it.
