A very nice place to take the family or take a peaceful walk. The prices are reasonable and the wait time for rides is minimal. You can pay for rides, mini golf, or boats. Or you can enjoy the playground, skateboard park, ride your bike, or take a nice walk for free.
A beautiful old fashioned carousel complete with a golden ring grab. Beautifully maintained and only 1.00 to ride. Pick between horses, bears, Lions and tigers or a bench seat. Some go up and down and the ride goes moderately fast for a carousel. Fun fun fun!!
Great place to spend a lazy afternoon with younger kids. Unless theres an event going on, or if you just want to hang out for a couple hours for nostalgias sake and play mini golf, dont expect more than 2-3 hours worth of your day however. They do have a small food stand for carnival fare (hot dogs, burgers, chicken, fries, etc) in a pinch. Tickets are reasonable for the rides, but check out and decide what your kids want to ride before buying
I love riding the Eldredge Park Carousel. I ride at least 3 to 4 tome during the summer. This year it has been closed so I miss riding it. O hope ot reopens soon before the summer is gone.
Love that they have brought back the carousel from my childhood although I feel the speed on it is a little too fast for smaller children. I recommend they slow it down just a little bit. It scared my now 10yr old so bad he will never ride any rides now.
Our parents took us to Eldridge Park Every Summer. The Carousel was my favorite. My twin brother was a ace at getting the ringI was too short. So he would share the rings with me. Im so glad I can take my grandchildren there now. Brings back great memories.
Great park for the whole family. The area around the lake would be more pleasing if everyone that walked their dogs would clean up after them. A lot of dog poop.
Great rides for children, mini golf, pond you can take paddle boats on. Has a bike and skateboard park, fields for soccer or small fry football. Has a little bit of everything for everyone.
Had our family reunion here a few years ago, when they first re-opened the carousel and boat rentals, and mini golf. All the kids in our family had a blast.
Theyre bringing back the Eldridge Park I remember as a child. Not the full amusement park that was there, but many of the attractions are there. Great for a picnic, or food is available.
My 2 yr old and I are there a lot we walk around the park and feed the birds. It a fun place to go. For free. And I remember this place as a child. So. Sharing the memories is great
Its a great place to walk my fur-babies. The pond could use a cleaning. My boy loves to go in the water and it is a little gross in some areas
Eldridge is and has always been a historical memorable place near and dear to my heart as ive grown up here and have seen the transformation from what it was to what its become...eldridge is a great place for familys to go and kids to be kids...i do wish they still had the hills with the cookout areas where theyve put all the fields...highly recommend
Fun! One of the best fireworks shows we seen tonight. Free to cheap inexpensive fun for the family. Friendly staff.
Great social atmosphere for all ages with a nature environment great for bike riding walking running or just sitting on a bench by the water also rides at very cheap prices including a motor boat and paddle boats and other events along with a few wild animals ducks geese seagulls fish and nice picnic areas by the water and at Pavilions great for celebrations of all kinds
Family friendly. Free concerts on Saturday. Nice place to walk, but watch out for all of the bird poop!
Cute little local theme park to take the kids for some family fun. Not too expensive and clean.
Really fun experience. There is a really interesting history behind the park and especially the dinosaur like boat named Jasper.
My husband and I brought our son on their Free Entry Night and had SUCH a great time!
A great place for kids to enjoy 😊 my son loved the boats shaped like swans 🦢 🎠⛳️🍦mini golf ☀️
Such a great place for the whole family. A must see is the carousel with its restored animals!
In spite of the stupid city government, people have done a lot up there to bring it back. Its a great place to take the family or just walk around.
Went there yesterday with the Rochester son and his family.The grandkids loved it especially the airplanes, and the Merry go round.
Best fireworks in the area. Love the rides! Need to have more restrooms that are kept clean
Cute little park beside a pond with a circuit walking track. None of the amusements were open at 2pm on a Wednesday.
Nice place to visit. People can do a variety of activities. One of mine is walking around the lake.
My favorite childhood memory of the amusement park and picnics there back in early 70s till 1980s.
Such a great place! My 2yo nephew loved all the rides!
Love that they are restoring the park! Memories from when I was a kid and now my children are making some too.
A great place to play Pokémon Go! Lots of Pokestops and Gums! Great place to meet other trainers.
Fasted carousel in the country. Lots of fun. Many other rides too. Reasonable prices.
Late 50s and 60s remembered Pepsi day and the 10 cent ride days also the battle of the bands on the stage,
Beautiful, well maintained for the most part, and hosts many events. Also fairly secure.
They have done a nice job with the place. We like to go there for a walk and to people watch.
My husband loves to fish here and we bring the grand kids on weekends.
This is the fastest carousel Ive seen in an old historical park in the process of coming back to life!
What a great little family park put out golfing rides and more

2019-09-02Its great to see part of the park restored. Tried to grab a brass ring on the Carousel, but I came up short. Theres a small museum that has items from the original park, and you can sit in a car from The Whip, the Bumper Cars & more! Ahh, memories!

2019-07-18It was always the best carousel in the world growing up. It still is. (Yes, carousel. Merry-go-rounds are mobile and can be moved from place to place, carousels are in a permanent place.)

2021-07-04Shocking that there were maybe less than 40 people visiting while we came on the 4th of July!We had a blast!My youngest child age 7 enjoyed herself as well as my 70 plus old mother.

2021-01-09I have many memories of riding the Eldridge Park Carousel from my childhood as I went there and spent time with my family. I would ride the hourses on the carousel and have a great time. Sometimes I would try to get the ring. I am looking forward to spending time there one day with Joey and Julia so I can share it with them and their oldeset brother Ryan.

2018-07-23Amazing place to spend an afternoon. Everything is inexpensive and my son loves the rides. The staff and volunteers are always friendly. We cant ever leave without at least one trip out on the lake on Jasper.

2019-07-04You know its sad. It could be such a nice place. I hate seeing places like this not taken care of. A simple cordless blower for the mini golf. Better landscaping around. A little bit of power washing would bring this place up. But the people have to do this. One good maintenance person to watch over. Besides that its a great place.
