Joseph Skelly, the shows founder, started Skelly’s Amusements in 1956. One evening on his way home from work, he noticed a truck mounted Merry-Go-Round for sale; an idea was born. He borrowed some money to buy the ride and soon put it to work. He would come home from his job as a bookbinder and after a quick dinner, would drive the Merry-Go-Round through the streets of Darby, Pennsylvania, charging 10 cents a ride. It had 8 tiny horses that he would push around by hand while music played.

     By the early 60’s, more equipment had been added and a route of church carnivals had been established. Most of the events were in New Jersey, thus in 1965, the company moved to Pine Hill, New Jersey.

     Nearly forty years later, Skelly’s Amusements is now located in Williamstown, New Jersey. Tom O’Connor and Michael Skelly own the company. It has grown to a 25-ride operation providing fun for fairs, carnivals and festivals in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware. Gone are the truck mounted and gas driven rides of the past; in their place are trailer mounted, computer controlled machines designed for intense thrill and extreme safety. The ride operators are trained and the inspections are documented. Skelly’s Amusements is committed to providing safe, fun family entertainment with the cleanest rides, game and food concessions available. Thank you and enjoy our site.

Daughter worked here for a few months good for a first job .. but the hours and the money they pay these kids is sad.. work 10/13 hours a day for 8 bucks in 90 degree weather.. isn't ideal

I have been to several carnivals with Skelly's amusements as the vendor. I never did a review but last night in Bear Delaware at a carnival, I was so disappointed and will never go again. We paid $10 for 2 adult admissions and $60 for 2 unlimited rides wristbands for the kids, plus a few extra tickets so we can take turns riding with them. All of the rides lines were extremely long to be a small carnival. I never had to wait 20-30 minutes for a less than 60 second ride at one of their carnivals, no exaggeration. So after a while I realized why the lines took so long, it was because a majority of the rides were not 100% working so it limited the number of riders each time. One ride had 3 out of 4 rides available. Another ride, that had 3 parts with each part holding 4 different seats, only had 2 parts open to riders. So it has 12 seats, but only 8 were 'working' for riders. Another ride where you lay down on stomach, had several seats not open to ride. I do not know how many because it was so big, you couldn't see all the way around it from 1 spot. But I did notice, on 1 section which seats 4, only 1 person was on that section. As well as several other rows were not filled. This being one of the longest lines at the carnival!

 I do, however, think the ride attendants do a good job with not ripping off the parents with charging tickets on the smaller rides. Especially when my child has a wristband, but wants me to ride with them. But I do not think this offsets all the bad.

Why is it i pay $45 dollars for an all week pass but the child that says need adult on the Ferris ride won't let the adult on without also paying it's ridiculous.
