Palace Amusements, Indoor amusement park in Asbury Park, United States.
The Victorian-style structure contained multiple attractions including a carousel with hand-carved animals, a Ferris wheel, and arcade games across different levels.
Ernest Schnitzler established Palace Amusements in 1888, starting with a carousel house that operated continuously through the Great Depression until its closure in 1988.
The building featured the distinctive Tillie face mural on its exterior walls, which became a recognized symbol of the New Jersey entertainment landscape.
Located near the Atlantic Ocean, Palace Amusements provided entertainment through mechanical rides, fun houses, and arcade games for visitors of all ages.
The steam-powered Ferris wheel, designed by Ernest Schnitzler in 1895, transported riders outside the building for views of the Atlantic Ocean.
