Looff Carrousel celebrates 110th birthday with $1 rides

Stop by Riverfront Park for carousel rides and popcorn for $1 each!

SPOKANE, Wash. — Spokane’s Looff Carrousel is celebrating its 110th birthday with rides for only a buck on Thursday.

The birthday celebration coincides with National Carousel Day.

Those who attend can enjoy carousel rides and popcorn for $1 each and free face painting until 3 p.m. on Thursday. The first 110 riders will also receive a cupcake.

Carousel rides are normally $2.50 and $5.50 for an unlimited day pass. 

The historic Looff Carrousel located in Riverfront Park reopened to the public last May. Its rebirth came after a year of construction on a new building to house the attraction.

The carousel, which is on the National Register of Historic Places, features 54 carved horses, one giraffe, one tiger and 2 Chinese dragon chairs.
