Eldridge Park in Elmira, New York, is a historic family recreation destination operated by the Carousel Preservation Society, best known for its beautifully restored 1890s Looff carousel — one of the few remaining antique carousels in the world still equipped with a working ring feeder. Beyond the iconic carousel, the park offers a Tilt-a-Whirl, paddle boats, miniature golf, and a charming mini-train ride for younger visitors. Outdoor recreation options include disc golf, sports fields, a dog park, and scenic walking trails. The amusement attractions operate seasonally from Memorial Day through Labor Day, with admission priced affordably at two tickets per ride and three to four for mini-golf. Year-round, the park provides event spaces including a dance hall accommodating up to 250 guests and a pavilion for 100, making Eldridge Park a beloved community gathering place in the Southern Tier of New York.
