It is illegal to operate a merry-go-round on a Sunday.

Status: Historical / Repealed

The Law Explained

You cannot fire up a carousel or similar amusement ride on the Lord's Day. This is a classic remnant of Idaho's strict Sunday 'Blue Laws,' which were designed to keep citizens focused on church and family rather than frivolous carnival distractions. Many of these Sunday restrictions were repealed, but carousel operators still technically lived on the edge for decades.
