Watkins Antique Carousel, Train & Miniature Golf

Carousel was closed for maintenance, but enjoyed the train and mini golf course. Prices are high with no regard for children's ages ($2 per person for train and $5 per person for golf if you're county residents. Slightly higher for out of county visitors although no one ever asks for residency status). There's a few vending machines for snacks and drinks, lots of places to sit and eat your own food if you bring it. Most areas accommodate strollers/wheelchairs including the main bathrooms which are in good condition. The largest playground is mostly shaded, but fills up fast. Recommend early morning if you want to use the Wizard of Oz theme playground. An additional playground further back with a race horse theme is usually less crowded.

The poor little train has been closed for far too long now -going on year number 4? With all of the resources and handy workmen in MD , why must this little train remain closed for all of these years? Is there a case of the mismanagement of funds at play? What in the world is going on? Taxpayers want to know. The carousel and playgrounds are for the toddlers. The 6-11 year old kids would at least appreciate the train ride with family and friends, if it was working. Otherwise, there is nothing much there to engage them with.

Great carousel, little farm, and mini golf. The train is closed for repairs this season and the playground was so packed with hardly anyone wearing masks. Will go back for the carousel again later this summer when the crowds hopefully go down.
