We chose those three as the best NYC carousels because they represent novelty, history and inclusion. Here’s a short list of the other fascinating carousels you can and should visit when you are in New York.
* Le Carrousel – When visiting Bryant Park in Manhattan, keep your eyes peeled for this vintage treasure.
* Central Park Carousel – This is the fourth incarnation of this famous carousel. Its predecessors all burned down! You can enjoy a nice long ride on this one any summer day for just $3.
* The Totally Kid Carousel in River Side Park provides spectacular views. While riding, you can gaze upon Harlem’s west side and some scenic areas of New Jersey. Mounts are most unusual because they were inspired by artwork produced by local youth. The original artwork is posted for comparison. This unique ride only costs a dollar!
* Seaglass Carousel is a fish themed ride at the Battery. Kids can ride perched inside a collection of thirty luminescent fish. It is quite unique because the motor is underneath the floor so there is no center column. It’s like being in an aquarium. Tickets are $5.
