COVID-19 Update: Due to the public health crisis, the Carousel is currently closed. Prospect Park Alliance will continue to follow orders from the City and State to determine when we can reopen to the public. Please contact us if you'd like to inquire about birthday party bookings or continue to check back for updates.

Located in the Park’s Children’s Corner, the Carousel is one of the Park’s most popular attractions. Its 53 magnificent horses ride alongside a lion, a giraffe, a deer and two dragon-pulled chariots. It was carved in 1912 by Charles Carmel, one of the foremost carousel designers of his time. Carousel birthday parties offer plenty of amusement for children of all ages. Private parties are available for groups up to 60; parties during public hours are available for groups up to 25.
