This carousel was built in 1929, and is known for the rare Herschell dogs and pigs.

The whole of the Triple Cities of NY...Binghamton, Johnson City, Endicott...has been blessed with the gift from Shoe baron George Johnson of Endicott Johnson Shoes gift of six carousels with the caveat that no one will ever pay for a ride. West Endicott Park is probably closest to my home but there are two others in Endicott, one on Oak Hill Ave. in George W. Johnson Park and the on the east side at Highland Park, one in Johnson City near the Pavilion, and two in Binghamton, one at Recreation Park on the west side and the other at Ross Park Zoo. I mean, who with a pulse doesn't want to ride a carousel much less watch kids and adults go round and round for free with glee! All six are original and have been restored and maintained for you to enjoy, whoever you are, wherever you're from. The Triple Cities grabbed the brass ring so your next ride is always free!..

Ok, I haven't been to a movie house in a decade and thensome. And then more than some has changed. Faux leather recliners with cup holders, small viewing rooms rather than spacious halls of plush splendor. Ain't your grandpa's movie theater. Then I am a grandpa, aren't I? Oh well. Takes away the awesomeness of leaving the house for the glitz and glamour of Hollywood in a chapel of dark plush, romance and mystery; all the reasons for not sitting at home in your faux leather recliner with a snack on the lamp table next to you as you fall asleep? Plus, you gotta plan days in advance for the time and seat you want. The spontaneity of going to see a movie is gone, the ambience and atmosphere of it being something special is gone, and now I know why I am gone from these places.
3. Highland Park Carousel

This is the only carousel of the six Broome Country Herschells that has been relocated from its original setting.
Reviewed By Bertram S - Wyoming, Michigan, United States
The Highland Park Carousel is very similar to the other 5 carousels in the Binghamton area.
The Highland Park carousel in Endwell was first installed in En-Joie Park in 1925 and moved here in 1967 after the first park was closed. It features 2 chariots and 36 animals, 3 abreast with a pig and a dog hidden among the horses (we rode them both). Its white rounding boards have shields with faces on them. There is also a lion skin instead of a saddle on one of the horses. It has no band organ; a CD played carousel music instead.

who doesn't like a carousel? this has been around for YEAR's and one of the last things you can do for free. if you find yourself getting off the highway and need a quick break to occupy the kids for a a minute, pull into this little park. this is history for this town, may you keep the carousel running. Thank you Johnson Brothers for starting this tradition, many families have grown up with this attraction.
6. Cider Mill Playhouse
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 62 reviews
In the early 1970s, Binghamton University professor and soon to be theater department chairman, Dr. John Bielenberg sought to expand the theater department's available venues to an off-campus site.Dr. Bielenberg and his colleagues found the Cider Mill. It had been in the Ciotoli family since the 1940s, and was a popular seasonal attraction for lovers of fresh apples, cider and donuts. The warehouse side of the Cider Mill was just what they were looking for.In 1991, when it became necessary for the University to give up the playhouse, it was restarted as an independent non-profit by Tom Kremer, Craig Saeger and Barbara Wolfe. They were supported over the years by dedicated Board Members, a super-hardworking group of staff members, the Ciotoli family and the devotion of the patrons, donors and volunteers.In all, the last 38 years have brought more than 270 dramas, comedies and musicals, and more than 5,000 performances to the Playhouse stage.

Very colourful outside the cider mill with all the beautiful autumn flowers and orange and white pumpkins and squashes on display.
The apple cider is the best I have tasted and the maple walnut donuts are equally good.
It is a short season for the cider so we usually make the most of it and visit here several times before it closes.

Great place to see a football game. Scenic and classic. The Army history shared throughout and the introduction of veterans adds to an excellent day. Note: believe them when they day arrive early. Once you enter the gates, it will take time to park and take a bus to the stadium.
