Do you like carnivals?
« on: May 18, 2014, 09:10:31 pm »
Carnival season is upon us! Well, at least in New Jersey! There are several carnivals coming up in the next few weeks and months, and I plan on attending lots of them! I don't know what it is about them, maybe it's because me and my husband used to go them often when we were dating, but I just love carnivals. I enjoy the food and games. So what about you? Do you have lots of carnivals where you live? And do you enjoy them as much as I do?

Carnivals were more exciting when I was younger, but after a while they do seem the same old thing.  The carnivals (if they do show up) in my area tend to particularly have less spirit in them as it seems they do the bare minimal and use the same old concepts.

They're fun, but they're usually so expensive. 10 tokens for 1 ride that only lasts 30 seconds. 1 token is $0.25. They aren't worth it. :(

I do like carnivals, but I really don't get on the rides so for me it's a waste of money.

Haven't been to one in years.  We took our kids when they were younger, but they really got expensive.

I've been to only one carnival in my life, many years ago. It was around Easter. I know I must have been VERY young because I remember there were rabbits in cages along with eggs and I thought the rabbits laid them. LOL...My state doesn't host that many great carnivals. So hopefully the next place I move to will have better carnivals where I can get delicious FOOD.

Carnivals are fun though but expensive for me and 4 kids for every rides they want to rides.

I love carnivals and attend them every year. It is so exciting that we wouldn't miss them. That is how we celebrate our wedding anniversary.

I used to love going to carnivals, fairs, and festival to go on all the rides. But since being pregnant with my first child and even after having her, the thought of going on some of those rides makes me sick to my stomach. Maybe things will change after I have my second child lol. But I do still love to go and play some of the midway games and win prizes.

I'm not a carnival lover at all. They are usually crowded and I think most of the games are rigged. The rides never look that safe either. We avoid them.
