Open April – June, this 100-year old vintage carousel features over 50 magnificently carved animals. It opened in Coney Island first and was moved to Prospect Park in 1952. Read more
no adults on the horses that go up and down. they will delay the ride and ask you to get off. all the children laugh at you. it is very humiliating.
Inexpensive for the whole family...short lines and a fun ride
Make sure to find a horse that goes up & down on the carousel!

The original carousels were used to torture non believers in medieval times. Instead of decorative horses , passengers sat on razor sharp metal blades.
the lion is pretty intense
The carousel is 100 years old in 2012! Beautifully restored. Ride it. That is all.
