Columbia Carousel

Yes, people, it’s a merry go round IN A MALL. FIVE STARS! Not the best mgr in the world but the best (and only) in a mall I’ve ever seen. So for what it is, again I repeat, a Merry Go Round in a Mall, five stars.
Moms, of the world, I can hear your applause from here!
Being a wonderful and also overly-​protective aunt I have ridden the mgr several times with my Baltimore niece and nephew. Pretty much rocks in terms of length of ride (very decent), price (something like $ 1.50 per kid and adults ride free) and choice of mount.
Details on mounts: They have the standard mgr horsies, which go up and down. They also have horsies which rock back and forth. There is a Snow White/​Sleeping Beauty princess horse-​drawn carriage (sans horses) for little prince and princesses who just want to sit on a bench (and their mommies and daddies who don’t want to feel stupid riding a horse).
And then there is the teacup. Don’t get me started on the teacup! Don’t make me ride on the teacup, please! Anyone over the age of 12 will get immediately nauseous on the teacup, which is an actual spinning teacup, like those one might find on the (ahem) teacup ride at an amusement park. This one is PRIME real estate. Be prepared to have your kids ride a second time if the teacup seats are full. Still it will not take longer than 10 minutes of your time and what kid doesn’t deserve a second whirl?
