…reads the sign describing the creation of this beautiful new carousel on the Rose Kennedy Greenway in Boston. I love the Greenway. It’s green space full of fountains and sculpture that recently took the place of a very ugly highway that cut right through the city.
This carousel is a wonderful addition to the park.
Where else can you ride on a lobster
or on Peter Rabbit
or sit next to a harbor seal?
We loved it!
Dad still rides the carousel wherever we go. He’s been riding for many, many years!
The artistic work is amazing..
and fun
and whimsical.
We have whales here…
falcons
and sea turtles…
I had a funny flash forward as I watched my family enjoy this and imagined that some day we would be watching our grandchildren ride…I think I need help, lol.
You’ll find the carousel just around the corner from the New England Aquarium… Salem Residents, don’t forget that the aquarium is free to us this month. If the aquarium is too crowded (as it was for us last Sunday) the carousel is a great substitute, or you can easily make it to both.
Enjoy everything!
