Herschell Carrousel Factory Museum Admission Ticket

Nice carousel ride and a cute kiddie park that is a dream for small children. As adult couple no kids found it very nice and informative along with just being fun. Worth going to

If you are in Niagara Falls, traveling in the area, love history, or were ever a kid, then get off the beaten path and visit this place. It’s old and dusty but history will be brought to life and you’ll learn about the rides you ride as a kid.

This place is fantastic! So many of the carousels that are still in existence today were made HERE on site! The people who work are knowledgeable and passionate about carousels and its shows! My family, including three young adults, spent two hours here and we could easily have spent another. We enjoyed every aspect of this museum, including the outstanding carousel we rode; a room full of music and featuring a working player; the carving area where horses were made for decades; and an area with a children's carousel and family games. The gift shop was top notch, too! We really recommend this to anyone who wants to visit a unique and informative place.

My grandsons rode the rides in Kiddieland several times and loved them. It was enjoyable because the operator DANIELLE is exceptionally friendly and helpful. She is a true treasure as an employee and a person!

Great place to bring young kids. They have two carrousels that one can ride on, a kid size and regular size. The craft of the carrousel is magnificent. There is a museum and exhibits which show how parts of the carrousel work as a whole. There is also kiddy rides that are an add on which children can ride other carrousel type rides for 30 minutes. Highly recommend.

If you are in Niagara Falls this is a must see attraction. Having formerly worked for a company that manufactured carousels, this was particularly interesting. If you rode a merry-go-round as a kid, it was very likely made by the Hershell company. To walk in the shops where they carved and painted the horses and assembled the rides was so cool. The people who work/volunteer at the museum are very knowledgeable about the history of the company and will answer all your questions. There is a fully functional carousel with free rides with every admission.

My husband and I stopped here on our way to Niagara Falls. It’s a cute museum filled with history and artifacts about Allan Herschel and the Herschel Carrousel Factory that was on the same spot. There are different carrousel horses and other amusement items on display that were nade made at the factory. There is also two Merry-go-rounds, one for children and one for adults/ children and a little outside kiddies amusement park. There is a fee of $12 for the museum and a fee for the kiddie amusement park. The employees were knowledgeable, polite and friendly.

This carousel museum is off the beaten path, but a little gem. It was $12 per adult, not a senior, and that included two carousel rides. There were some exhibits that are self-touring, as well as historic horse making, and a whole section of people actually making the horses. There are two carousels, one in their kittyland, and the other in the large larger rotunda. What is really cool about the larger carousel is they have not only a chariot to sit in if you don’t want to get on the horses, and all of the carousel animals were horses, but there’s also something called a Love bucket. I believe it’s called. It’s like a sit and spin you get in this bucket that has a wheel in the middle and you can spin it as you’re spinning around on the carousel. It was so cool. We would totally return just to go on the carousel and sit in that Love bucket.

This really is a hidden gem and a national treasure. We visited with our three grandchildren and had a great time. The admission prices are reasonable and you can add $6 for your child to ride 4 beautifully restored kids rides from the 40's -60's (boat ride, helicopter ride, car ride, and horse drawn wagon ride) for 30 minutes. Your admission fee also gives you rides on two merry-go-round that are housed inside. Beautiful artwork throughout as well as wonderful examples of self playing organs and bands. Highly recommended for young and old alike.

Interesting to see photos with the workers- men dressed in a suit with vest and long sleeved white shirt with an apron doing the manufacturing. Some of the original equipment. Knowledgeable docents fill you in on how it all worked. Ticket includes 2 rides on the carousel. Play areas for kids. Nice gift shop. I think there were 4 different manufacturers of carousels in North Tonawnda. Stop here on your way to Niagara Falls.
