Carnival For Kids at Pershing Field

UPDATE (04/08/2008) : I was just there at 630pm tonight and saw lots of people. I talked to the cops manning the place and they said carnival will run until Sunday (April 13). Weekend hours is 2pm - 10pm. If you think this information is inaccurate, kindly write something in the comment box.

I noticed a couple of weeks ago that they were setting up carnival rides at Pershing Field so I decided to drive along Central Avenue to see if it’s finished. And sure enough, there were Ferris wheel, Dragon Wagon, and other rides in the area.

Rides at Pershing Field

CARNIVAL at Pershing Field
Where : Pershing Field, Central Avenue, Jersey City
When : From ??? to Sunday (April 13)
Hours : Weekend (2pm - 10pm)
Admission : I assume it’s free, but you need to buy a ticket for a ride.

I looked around and saw a man inside the ticket booth so I decided to ask a little.

Please read the rest for full story and for more pictures…

Ferris Wheel

The man inside the ticket booth was solving a crossword puzzle when I approached him. When asked if the carnival is a part of bigger “feast” or “celebration”, he shook his head and said “No.” and went back to the puzzle. I asked him if this is a fund-raiser event, he aimlessly looked at me and said “No.” and went back to the puzzle again.

Friendly guy.

After sensing he wasn’t interested “socializing”, I decided not to ask any further and just took a few pictures before I left.

Dragon Wagon

Do you know anything about this carnival? What are the operating hours for the rides? Do you know when the carnival will end?
