Step into the Emerald City and Experience a Week of Enchanting Fun!
Silver Beach Carousel invites you to join us for a week-long celebration of history and happy memories! From June 24th to 28th, we'll be commemorating the legacy of Silver Beach Amusement Park's founders, Louis Wallace and Logan Drake, with a series of themed events that harken back to the park's golden age.
Daily Themed Events:
Calling all history buffs aged 60 and over! Take a trip down memory lane with our Seniors' Day. Share stories of your park visits, learn interesting facts through historical talks, and enter hourly drawings for a vintage-themed candle. Enjoy buy-one-get-one discounts on carousel tokens (limit two per person).
Calling all little munchkins (ages 3-12)! It's your chance to experience the magic of the carousel at a discounted rate! All carousel rides are half-priced on Kiddies' Day. Participate in fun activities, show off your moves on the carousel, and enter drawings to win giant, colorful Munchkin lollipops.
All aboard the Emerald City Express! This Wednesday, prepare to be mesmerized by our intricate miniature train display as it winds its way through a whimsical Wizard of Oz scene. Don't forget to check out the movie-themed memorabilia that adds a touch of magic to the trains. Enter our hourly drawings for a chance to win free cotton candy!
Witness the incredible sand-sculpting magic of Janet Schrader, the "Sand Pirate," as she transforms sand into a magnificent creation directly in front of the Shadowland Ballroom. Feeling inspired? Learn sandcastle-building tips from Janet herself between noon and 5:00 p.m. Kids aged 3-12 can enter drawings for Kinetic Sand at the Carousel refreshment stand.
Hold onto your hats! On Friday, surprise rides on the carousel will come with a pack of Skittles candies. Get ready to show your artistic side with our "Over the Rainbow" coloring contest (ages 5-14). Winners will be chosen in random drawings on June 29th, with two lucky winners in each age category receiving gift baskets!
Fun for Everyone, All Week Long!
In addition to our daily themed events, we'll have a variety of activities for the whole family to enjoy throughout the week:
Free coloring sheets and photo opportunities with your favorite carousel figures, including the lion, tigers, and bear!
Free corn hole games featuring artistic renditions of Wizard of Oz characters (located outside the Carousel House).
Explore the historic Shadowland Ballroom and the Curious Kids' Discovery Zone within the Silver Beach Center.
Don't miss out on this magical celebration! Come join us for Founders' Week at Silver Beach Carousel.
