The Historic Paragon Carousel

"Who doesn't like a great ride on a carousel? This is an original, restored carousel that used to be part of Paragon Park way back in the day.

You can ride it, and still try to catch the ring. Rides are cheap, and children love it! My wife and I enjoyed it, too.

It is a bit of history that brings me back to my younger days. I really like how they keep it open through October. Worth taking a ride on this!"

“A wonderful treat for kids and a return to nostalgia for parents and grandparents.”

“I hate the phrase "step back in time" because that makes an activity sound outdated. It's very much present day fun…

And yet it's just a merry-go-round. You get on and the friendly staff makes you feel special. Close your eyes, hear the music and maybe you go back to dreaming of your first love, your present love or just your love of being a kid. Then you go next door and get an ice cream cone or some fried clams. Simple.”

“Love this carousel! Not only is it one of the only remaining pieces of Paragon Park but it also is a must see place when you go to the beach.”

“This covered delight is five minutes of innocent fun that'll put a priceless grin on your two (or 22) year old.”

“So charming! What a cute spot. Old time New England along the shore.”

“Lovingly maintained… This carousel is a gem and clearly someone takes very good care of the riding horses, all beautifully painted. For a minimum price, the ride is a good length with music and horses rising up and down. Treat your kids to the experience!”

“Myself, my wife and two year old son visited the carousel and the creamery each evening during our four day mini vacation. The staff were awesome and made us feel very welcomed. The Creamery ice cream was amazing! We absolutely recommend the Carousel and Creamery to everyone! We will definitely go back next visit to Nantasket!”

“Such a beautiful old carousel and well taken care of. We had so much fun for a couple of ‘old folks’ riding it. It brought back so many childhood memories of times past. You don't see places like this anymore.”
