Do you remember what it was like having the wind blow through your hair, the bright lights and music as you ride high atop a colorful horse? I'm talking about a carousel ride of course!
Families have enjoyed Cape Cod family vacations for many years and their fondest memories are of the carousel rides for sale (which are quite popular on the Cape).
Factoid
Did you know carousel horses were once used to train cavalry soldiers?
The Cape relishes in the history of carousel rides. You can find them at the Cape Cod Carousel and Funhouse Arcade, Island Carousel at Cape Cod Mall and the Flying Horse Carousel in Oak Bluffs on Martha's Vineyard - just to name a few.
The Flying Horse was built in 1876 by Charles Dare and is the oldest carousel in the U.S. - it only costs $1.50 for a ride and kids and adults love it.
Ride For Free!
The hand carved carousel at Heritage Museum and Gardens is another historic carousel. It was crafted in 1912 by Charles Looff and rides are free with museum admission.
A Cape Cod family vacation is perfect for kids because there is so much to do. Countless families spend summers throughout the Cape and never run out of fun things to do.

Seal watching
Water Wizz Water Park

This is a just a jumpstart on what's to do on the Cape. All Cape Cod hotels have a list of Cape and area attractions and activities. Just ask the front desk.
Bring Out The Kid In You
Whether you have busy toddlers or teenagers on the go, there is something that will even bring out the kid in you. There's nothing like feeling like a kid again and doing things that trigger great memories of days gone by.
The Cape is a place that can do that for you, right down to the beaches. Even if you've never step foot on a coastal shore sandy beach before in your life, it will call in that inner peace inside of you.
