This Year the Carousel has been on the Semaphore Foreshore for 75 years and to celebrate they are having a party! Built in the 1920’s, the carousel is believed to be the largest operating carousel in Australia with 40 handcrafted wooden horses (most other rides like this only have 36 horses). As a seaside carnival attraction of yesteryear, the Semaphore Carousel is a magical place for visiting families as well as a unique venue to hire for private parties and functions.
On Sunday November 10th, the day after the Credit Union Christmas Pageant, the carousel will be offering $2.00 rides all day (usually $5.00). There will be lots of other activities and entertainment including:
-
Face Painters
-
Balloon Tying
-
Prizes
-
Foot Path Chalk Drawing
-
Games & Much More
Specials on the day will include $2 cans of soft drink* (usually $3.00), $2.00 toy wind fans* (usually $3.50) and $2 bubble sand toy wands* (usually $2.50) – *only while stocks last.
On this day, The Semaphore Carousel are inviting all visitors to bring in a copy of a photo taken at the carousel that is ten years old or more of you and/or a family member riding the Semaphore Carousel and in return receive a family pass. It is hoped to see three, four and five generations riding the carousel.
