Clemyjontri Carousel

Chariots, a spinning tea cup and 14 prancing steeds await only the imagination of children. The carousel is recessed to ground level so that it is accessible for wheelchairs, allowing children to transfer to the tea cup. The chariot is designed to allow for transfer to a seated position or to remain seated in the wheelchair.

CLEMYJONTRI CAROUSEL IS CLOSED FOR THE SEASON. SEE YOU IN…
