It’s sad to know that Joyland is completely gone and ruined, but we’ve got one piece hanging around that we think you’ll like. If you want to experience a piece of your past in the present and bring in new fans, come by to see the beloved Joyland Carousel sometime!
Today we venture out to Botanica, The Wichita Gardens for a trip back in time to see an old friend.

For many Kansans, Joyland was a part of their childhood. Summers, as it ran for 55 years before sadly closing down.

Today, you can visit the very same carousel that we all did as children, and make more memories with your kids and grandkids in tow.

Its been beautifully repainted and fixed up, hopefully, lasting years to come for generations forward to enjoy and make memories with.

Though Joyland is long gone, we are happy that this carousel is well taken care of now.

Spinning around on a sculpted horse is a fantastic way to spend the end of your trip to Botanica, and an even better way to enjoy a piece of our childhood.
