Glen Echo park is a jewel of the area. It attracks many artisans but most know it for the Spanish Ballroom or the Dentzel Carousel. Jackie has danced many an evening at Glen Echo. Live bands play Fri and Sat evenings and Sunday afternoons "During Glen Echo's heyday as an amusement park, the Dentzel carousel was the jewel of the park. An afternoon outing was not complete without a ride on the elaborately decorated carousel. Today the historic carousel - one of the country's finest - is still a highlight of an excursion to Glen Echo Park. Visitors of all ages delight in riding the intricately hand-carved animals, savoring a slice of history as they go." If you have children with you, then they will love to ride this menagerie carousel. $1 a ride. There are also puppet shows and an Adventure theater for the little ones.
