PNC Carousel at Schenley Plaza Closed Due to Rain
But we have plans to return to ride the Carousel.
“This merry-go-round located in Schenley Plaza was built in 2006 & has a colorful, ornate design.”
We were in the Oakland neighborhood by University of Pittsburgh to attend Visitor’s Day at Western PA Writing Project .
Carousel at Idlewild Park
The horses, the lights, the Wurlitzer music- all of these evoke childhood memories of carousels past.
Sunday afternoon I rode the carousel at Idlewild Park
Idlewild Park came into existence when William Darlington, owner of the property, gave “the right and privilege to occupy his land for picnic purposes or pleasure grounds” to Judge Thomas Mellon, owner of the Ligonier Valley Railroad. The date was May 1, 1878”
I’ve posted other carousels these two I ride with my sister Mary. Coney Island and Jane’s Carousel in Dumbo, Brooklyn (you can click to see posts)

What to do that didn’t involve being inside around people? Sunday night we did three hours of Fall Fantasy at Kennywood Amusement Park but what to do on a rainy Monday?
My friend V said last summer her family enjoyed the Keystone Safari Park. You drive about 2 MPH through the park. Make sure you’re by the car window! You’re feeding a wide variety of animals as they stick their beaks and big faces right in the car window.
