TURISTS BEWARE.
What a joke!! Paid $45 to ride the carriage with my daughter and we got taken about a mile and dropped off. Yeah you heard that right, not even a round trip. Picked up on 3rd street near Baskin Robins and dropped off out by Thompsons gas station... Like what??
So now we either had to walk back or pay an additional $45 to get a ride back where we were picked up. If this isn't a tourist trap I don't know what is. They are banking on someone not knowing their way around so they can make double the money to get you back.
Unless you have never seen a horse and carriage before, have someone else's money to burn or just want to stare at a horse taking a number 2 while you're watching avoid avoid avoid!!!!
We made reservations and paid in advance for a special occasion carriage ride. When we arrived we found that another couple walked in and decided to 'ride along' with us, hoping we didn't mind. I anticipated a private special occasion ride. The ride lasted 20 mins at most and as far as 'historical' he told about when certain houses were built not anything I would consider note worthy and was not worth the money we paid. We were disappointed.
Jonesie the owner and our carriage driver knew so much history of the town. It was worth every penny aka dollars.
Charged us $150 for the four of us which was steep. He knew the year many of the buildings and homes were built, but very little history of the town was provided. It was difficult to hear him and the horse was constantly startled by the tractor trailers and heavy trucks roaring by, especially around the circle road around city hall. There were times it was clear the horse wanted to take off! Two stars is generous.
Very nice place. We just got married on one of his carriage rides. He let our grand kids ride along. Super nice guy. Made for a great wedding.
The ride was 30 minutes and the cost was $100 for two people. A longer ride would have been nice. Historic sites were pointed out with very little discussion.
I thought it was a little pricey being $100 for 2 adults. We had our 6 year old grandson also. It was the last ride of the evening as it was closing time. For July 8th weather it turned out to be perfect. The rain had stopped several hours before and had made it cooler and just right. I now say after comparing price online at other places/towns they all cost about the same. I give it 5 stars. The old gentleman explained alot of history on the old houses and it was a beautiful ride. Lasted about 25 minutes but that is ok. We loved it.
Horses are left in the sun and not given any water. Would absolutely never support this business
