    Impress your friends with this bit of trivia: From 1871 to 1924, this Central Park icon was powered by a blind mule and a horse that walked on a treadmill in an underground pit. Read more

    A classic in Central Park. It's more about the hype than the actual ride, which is much like any carousel. Why I love it? it brings me back when the 1990s were great and cool to be a kid again :-)

    Enjoy New York's most beautiful park and take a ride on the famous Central Park Carousel. Lines can be long so we highly recommend going during the weekday evenings.

    Get your tickets before you wait online – go during the week to avoid a wait. If you’re filming your little one, make sure you have a flash…it’s a bit dark inside.

    Be prepared for long lines during busy hours! While you wait, try and count how many horses are on the carousel (without getting dizzy!) Hint: Is it 57 or 58?Powered by ParentsConnect.com Read more

    It's nice even though it's a Trump carousel.

    This Carousel is very old so it’s old fashioned and very romantic. They don’t make them like this anymore. Read more
