This is a beautiful, city town to visit, if it is just for a day or for a few days. It is quaint and has a little shopping great views and fun for small children.

Shared this with my son and niece so they could see where their mothers grew up. Neat to go back to the area after years away. Park is welcoming with lots of space and parking.

We wanted to find a beach on Lake Erie or Lake Ontario so we drove (45 mins. from Amherst) to Olcott, NY on the northern coast of NY on Lake Ontario. It's a lovely little "hamlet" as they call it. The park is spacious, shady, and right on the lake, there are many quaint little shops called the Lakeview Shoppes to browse, places to eat, and a fun park with a carousel and other small rides for kids. A truly delightful and relaxing place to spend an afternoon.

For a wonderful day with young children...visit this park! Everything is 25 cents, the park is super clean, well supervised and comfortable. Rides are for children 53" and under and you don't have the noise and crowded atmosphere of the "Theme Parks". Food is available at several locations...also reasonably priced. We spent on rides less here for 2 young children than you would spend on parking alone at many big places!

We got turned around and ended up on Olcott Beach... What a wonderful surprise.. like a small friendly town that doesnt exist anymore.. This was a mistake we didnt mind making... we got out of the car walked around... talked with the locals... enjoyed the lake breeze and watch sailboats go by.. looked through their stores... everything very REASONABLY PRICED.. got some ice cream and then went back in the right direction... We felt we were suppose to end up there... it was just such a nice atmosphere... loved it..

What can you get these days for only $.25? Not much outside of Olcott New York. This endearing park has old fashioned rides and games for all for $.25 a piece. Not only are the prices great but the rides are in great shape along with the little park they are in. I can't possibly say enough nice things about the people who volunteer there. They were funny, informative about the area and very patient with all the children. Just a short walk from the park is a little village of shops all with their own unique items. With a cute little light house a beautiful beach and plenty of things to interest the whole family Olcott is a must stop. Be sure to check out all the fun events this community has planned. My family and I can't wait to go back again.

The Merry-Go-Round was a "must see & do" for us!... even on our 50th Birthday Trip! The park is small but very quaint and adds so much to the charm of Olcott Beach. The Band Organ located inside the park was an added charm.

This amusement park is perfect for the little ones. 25 cents a ride, duck pond, rocking chairs to relax it is perfect. There is a small food stand and the people are beyond friendly. The view of the lake is the cherry on top. This park is for small children.

Perfect place to spend a day trip. We came for a festival to nearby krull park and fell in love with this town. The carousel park is lovely. Has 6 rides designed for 52" and smaller. My 5 and 2 year old love it. For .25 cents a ride you can ride for hours on $10!!! No lines, no worries about being too far to see what your kids are doing, which makes a relaxing visit for mom and dad. They have done a fantastic job restoring all the rides and creating the feel of a vintage kid park. We drove across the state for the rides, to walk the park, and evening fireworks. For a short trip with kids under 7 this is a great time!!

This place is small by size standards but really is a special place! Not having just the Carousel, you can place several arcade games and enjoy the time with others. Covered venues means you can get by if coll or a bit damp, so get out there and be a kid again!

This is a great little amusement park for small children and there are other attractions around it suitable for the "taller" members of the family. Prices are reasonable and you don't have to spend an entire day waiting in lines and trying to get your money's worth.

A great place to visit if you have a child/grandchild under 52 inches tall. Park is open Wed. - Sunday 12:00-?. If it is a warm day you may want to head out earlier and take the kids to the playground or spray park at Kroll park which is south/ east of the lake or stop by the beach. Bring small cash bills since the rides are 25 cents each and there are 5 of them plus the carousel (adults can ride this and it runs about every 10 to 15 minutes). Older children(at least 8) may also enjoy playing skee ball. There are a few places to grab a bite to eat as well as at the park. Across the street to the left on the lake is a cute little strip of cottage shops and a replica light house with pictures from the past.

This is worth the short drive from Buffalo. I love all things vintage so this place is right up my ally. There are 7 rides which at 25 cents a ride will cost you a whole $1.75. There is also a duck game and a few vintage claw/fortune teller games. The rides would be best for kids 7 or under since you have to be shorter than 52 inches to ride. There is an ice cream stand and several antique stores near by. The beach is right across the street and so is Krull park which has a splash pad.The hours vary, so check their website for exact times but I think it's 12-6 Wed-Sun.

My wife, 2 year old daughter, and I went to Olcott Beach Carousel Park today and had a fantastic time. It is a very small amusement park, but perfect for little kids. The classic carousel is wonderful, and the other rides are beautifully maintained, vintage, kiddie rides. The park was super clean, as were the bathrooms. (Actually, the bathrooms were the cleanest and nicest, public bathrooms both my wife and I have used in a very long time!) My daughter loved all the rides and wanted to ride them multiple times, which was fine since it only cost 25 cents for each ride. The staff was very friendly and very helpful getting the small kids off the rides as well. We will be going back several times before they close at the end of this season.
