J & S Carousel is located on San Marco Ave next to the public library. It is located in the small public park next to the road. The park is a wonderful lace to take children. It is covered in large oak trees that offer lots of shade on hot summer days. The equipment is fairly new and well maintained. It is designed to be handicapped accessible, which is also a plus for those with small children or new walkers. At times, the park can become very busy, but there is plenty of room for all.
The carousel itself is a wonderful St. Augustine icon. It is well maintained and it's bright colors and cheery music attract young eyes. Each ride is only a dollar, and it's a nice long ride for the bargain. Adults of really young children ride typically ride with their child for free. The workers at the carousel are always friendly and courteous.
