BERKSHIRE CAROUSEL INC Information

Established in 2005. The Berkshire Carousel is a functional classic wooden carousel, with hand carved and hand painted wooden horses that were built, carved and painted by hundreds of dedicated volunteers over an 11 year period of time. We offer affordable family entertainment, Birthday parties, and event booking. Our carousel building is air conditioned and heated for use and visits. We have an on site Gift Shop and Concessions Stand that offer drinks, goodies, ice cream, and popcorn, as well as an off street parking lot for visitors to park in. A typical ride lasts between 2 - 3 1/2 minutes and you can choose to ride one of 32 horses, 1 donkey, a rocking chariot, an ADA Handicap Chariot, and an old fashioned spinning tub. All of our horses have names, histories, and stories. Stop by our carousel and Come Along for The Ride! We used old fashioned wooden tokens for tickets, 1 token per person / per ride. The price is $3.00 per ride token or 10 tokens for $20.00. The Berkshire Carousel is a not-for-profit, 501(c)3 venture that was designed to create an authentic classic wooden carousel that is both a work of art and a wonderful form of family fun and entertainment. It is now a permanent display of the creative endeavors of The Berkshire County residents involved in it's creation. Volunteers came into the project and learn how to build, carve, and sand wooden carousel horses that are essentially beautiful sculptures. Hundreds of hours go into creating each and every horse. It is the most ambitious and largest permanent artwork ever created in the Berkshires. The project has involved volunteers from all over Berkshire County who have built, carved, sanded, and painted the carousel ponies and created the artwork that is featured on the ride. Now we have finished the carousel and invite you to "Come Along for The Ride!"
