Glen Echo Park

A family arts center

This former amusement park changed its focus from thrilling rides to artistic amusements, many of them directed at families. A beautiful hand-carved carousel is the only ride still operating in the park, now administered by the National Park Service. Visitors will find plenty of entertainment, from performances at the Puppet Company Playhouse to children's stories at the Adventure Theatre. Dances—swing, square-dancing and the waltz among others; are held at the Spanish Ballroom.
