Free carousel rides at Botanica Tuesday & Thursday nights

Botanica announced that visitors on Tuesday & Thursday nights will get an extra perk with the price of admission: FREE carousel rides! 

Happening now through September! – rides on the Khicha Family Carousel at Botanica (a restored Joyland carousel) will be FREE with admission from 5-8 p.m. And don’t forget that families of Kansas schoolchildren can get FREE admission to Botanica through August 15 with the Sunflower Summer app.

WOTC  Pro Tip: you can you bring your own food and drink into the garden. Tuesday or Thursday night would be the perfect time to pack a picnic and ride the Carousel as many times as you want. There are so many beautiful spots throughout the 20 acres where you can picnic.
