Bushnell Park Carousel Is Now Open

The Bushnell Park Foundation and the City of Hartford reopened the Bushnell Park Carousel for the first time since 2019, as last season was canceled. The antique merry-go-round will run every Saturday from 12:00 to 5:00 p.m. through October. Rides are $2.00 per person.
