May 19, 2018 @ 10:00 am - 5:00 pm

Free – $10

Come celebrate the 108th birthday of the Euclid Beach Park Grand Carousel!

May 19, 1910 was the day that opened the season for Euclid Beach Park. It was also the first time that attendees would set their sights on, and ride, the magnificent Euclid Beach Park Grand Carousel.

Installed by Philadelphia Toboggan Company (PTC), this new, larger, more grand carousel had four rows of horses, three inside rows of “jumpers” and an outside row of nearly life size stationary horses. The initial purchase price for this carousel: $7,734.04

 Join us as we celebrate the 108th Birthday of the crown jewel of Euclid Beach Park.

  • Unlimited Rides all day! Come fill your Carousel Passport (available for purchase in the Museum Store and Café)
  • Cleveland’s Euclid Beach Park Carousel Society will be handing out Oreos and Milk in honor of the annual Orphan Day Picnic held at Euclid Beach Park
  • Euclid Beach Park Now will be on hand to share park memories and to help you create a Make & Take Kinetic Carousel
