My boys have always enjoyed the Salem Riverfront Carousel and now that they are old enough to ride solo, I enjoy it even more. (This momma doesn’t like to spin.)
Recently, my oldest son developed a renewed love of the carousel after discovering the brass ring.
“What is the brass ring?” you ask.
It’s the work of a creative salmon-loving genius and holds the magical power of granting wishes!

At random times, or by rider request, the Carousel operator will move this beautifully carved salmon into place.
Pivoted so as to face the carousel riders, older children sitting on the outside edges of the carousel can then attempt to pull a ring from the salmon’s mouth as they twirl by.
Hold on tight, then grab as many red, green, white and 'brass' rings as you can. When the ride is over, each brass ring is good for another ride- free of charge!
And if you’re lucky – maybe you’ll grab two and have a free ride for you AND your brother!
