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.

Don't be afraid to ride as a grown up without kids. You can be a big kid here! :-)

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

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