Reviews
Went on the week before Christmas. It was an absolutely amazing experience. Kids loved it. Thank you, guys.
It's a fun place to bring your kids, but also a bizarre work of art. The horses are these weird hyper masculine sculptures that really are striking, and then there's the calliope and the circus part of it. It's a really strange blend.
The ride is decently long and comfortable. It's also clean as a whistle.
This was such a fun addition to our central park day! Definitely a fun ride to make any adult feel like a kid again!
The horses have that vintage wore vibe as it was made in 1908. The cost is $3.50 per person regardless of age however it was a special day and why worry about that when you can relive your childhood while making new memories with the kids?!
Opens at 10 am and closes at dusk. It's a shirt 10-12min walk from the lowered Central Park entrances.
My sons and I are on a mission to ride any carousel in the world.
Such an iconic experience! As someone who enjoys a good carousel, this is definetly one. Reasonably priced and you get to enjoy a fun experience no matter what your age is! What a great time! I would recommend this attraction!
Great fun, clean location, buying tickets was fuss free too. Kids and adults love it!
A reminder of the simpler times in NYC. I'm not sure if $3 even covers the electricity and staff that is used to run the carousel. Truly a great deal if you really think about it. I personally don't mind the longer downtime between loads. It gives the parents more time to take photos of their kids on the horses before things get blurry when the carousel starts moving.
Employees don't want to be there. Seems that they hate their job and that is translated in the service.
The Carousel is really nice. But the hole experience is not good for the people working on it.
So: go. But know that you'll be treated bad and supporting that is the only way to acces to the Carousel.
