Lake Compounces Carousel is a beautiful, classic ride. Having wonderful memories riding this as a child reminds me of how much fun children have on these. Like most carousels, this one is always a walk-on. The setting is nice located next to the lake. Because Lake Compounce closes early on weekdays, you cant see the lights too often, but when you do they are a spectacle shining in the night. The rides two main highlights are the wonderfully hand-crafted horses and the classic band organ, two things modern carousels sadly lack. Out of all the carousels I have been on, this one is my favorite because of its long history at Lake Compounce, its beauty, and that I had wonderful times on it as a child. None of the modern carousels can compare to classic carousels like this.
