"Great place to escape from the noise of the city. Huge area to explore with plenty of lakes and quiet spots to enjoy a picnic."

"A classic in Central Park. It's more about the hype than the actual ride, which is much like any carousel. Why I love it? it brings me back when the 1990s were great and cool to be a kid again :-)"
