This is a really fun place to visit! The carousel was
completed in 1995 and includes 38 hand carved horses and two
chariots. Each horse is unique as they were carved by a
variety of craftsman based on specifications from the horse's
"adoptive" parents. Next door to the carousel is a
free playground called Dragon Hollow Play Area. Your kids are
sure to enjoy a stop here!
FAMILY FRIENDLY PROS- The
kids loved the variety of horses. The playground was a
big hit!

Friendly Travel Tip:
Older children can use time in the car or airplane to
learn a new craft. There are some great books
about learning to knit, crochet and cross-stitch.
Your child will be occupied and have a sense of
accomplishment when they have completed a project by the
end of the journey. |
