ℳ𝒶𝓎♍July 27, 2018A 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 :-)
Townley GirlAugust 3, 2011Enjoy 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.Upvoted 4 weeks ago
The Corcoran GroupMay 16, 2011Get 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.

Diego RufoMarch 31, 2011This Carousel is very old so it’s old fashioned and very romantic. They don’t make them like this anymore. Read more
AdamApril 5, 2010Get tix first, then stand in long line. Some dopes think they can buy when they get on...they can't
Olga SalasMarch 20, 2023Súper recomendado ! Solo debes esperar a que se junten 6 personas ! Pero es una linda experiencia

"What a fun ride in the famed Le Carrousel, a comfy, casual, see-sawing, circular motion that lasts the length of a beautiful classic French song(2.5mins or so).Tip: for higher heights, ride the frog🐸"
