Merry-Go-Round in the Mall: “Would you like to Ride?”

I had some of my errands the whole day yesterday. I need to pay some bills in the local mall, SM Baguio. It was just one jeepney-ride from home. I few steps to the local mall and everything will be fine. As I go around, I saw this merry-go-round. A place where my little niece used to go. Now, she’s a grown-up little girl at 7. “Time flies so fast.” It is a simple ride that has so many stories behind it. In real-life settings, some kiddies never tried to experience this. “Do you have any memories of riding a merry-go-round?” “Have you ever tried to ride one of the horses?” Image Credit: Shavkat

It has been a long time that I had seen it. Not until when we had the little girl in the family.

@Hannihar She did. Now, she doesn't do it anymore. As she claimed to be a big girl now.

It might be originally for kiddies but I still go on when I have the chance I love them and don´t care for those other things like the Roller Coaster. Its the only kind of horse I have ever ridden on.

@Shavkat That is something to treasure for sure. They are only small for a very short time.

@lovinangelsinstead21 I agree. She seems more curious so many things. I am planning to enroll her to learn to play the ukulele.

@DianneN It is nice to have formal training. We don't have here. I had tried once here in my city. Most of these horses are being rented in the park. Perhaps I can try it again soon.

my son often rides on that when he was still a young boy, but never did he ride on roller coaster and ferris wheel.

I had experienced riding the rides only in Hong Kong. It wasn't that popular in my city. When SM Baguio is not built yet. My siblings and I experienced riding on a merry-go-round in a country fair in Pangasinan.

At my age right now, I think I am not interested anymore. But if I was a child then I would be very interested to ride in it. Maybe I would be interested if I have my son/daughter accompanying him/her there I might be able to be interested. But right now I feel awkward already riding there. LOL

I think it is really awkward to ride on a merry-go-round's horse. I would prefer that kids will enjoy and experience it.

During the good old times, I can see this in the parks. Nowadays, there can be seen in the local malls in my country. Is it like this in your country?

It was nice to remember having this when we were kids. I remembered we need to experience this in the countryside.

The West Edmonton Mall in Edmonton Alberta, Canada has a full sized roller coaster. It is called the "Mindbender".

I am not sure if I can try this again. I had tried once in Hong Kong and don't want to risk my life. Thank you for sharing this link.
