You don't really understand human nature unless you know why a child on a merry-go-round will wave at his parents every time around--and why his parents will always wave back." --William D. Tammeus, Pulitzer Prize Journalist.
Thanks for a fantastic summer! The Carousel of Light is closed for the season. We are located at Mullen-Hall School, 139 Katharine Lee Bates Road in Falmouth Village.
A beloved fixture of Falmouth Village, the carousel has delighted local residents and visitors to Falmouth since 2013. One of the few remaining carousels of its kind in the United States, kids and adults alike flock to this Cape Cod institution every summer. Brightly colored hand-carved horses spin around the cheery red and white striped top. Joyous music fills the air as the horses go 'round. Take a ride on Patriot, Butterscotch or everyone's favorite, Pearl.
Join the more than 150,000 riders over the last nine years and make a merry-go-round memory this summer, too!
