Holy Pixie Dust! Who knew that a single place could hold so much magic?! The carousel’s exhilaratingly fast, yet safe enough for tiny tots thanks to the safety belts. The big kids (a.k.a. the adults) can reach up and grab plastic hoops from the dragon’s mouth as you fly by.
The story of how this place became a reality provides even more magic. An artist offered to build the carousel and hand-carve the horses if the community would provide volunteers and raise money for the project. Not only did the citizens of Missoula do that, their next undertaking was the huge fairyland of a playground right outside the carousel called Dragon Hollow. You can see names of people who donated to the project throughout the pictures I too.
Dragon’s Hollow is FREE!

Hedda and I caught the most rings from the dragon’s mouth, a feat not easy on my grabby fingers. It does go fast and Xavier, just shy of two years old, rode his OWN horse. He was not afraid!
