Let’s take a ride on the carousel!

The carousel was built in 1908 and operated in a trolley terminal in Coney Island into the 1940s. It was moved to Central Park in 1950.

Two Russian immigrants, Solomon Stein and Harry Goldstein, carved the horses,  basing their design on those belonging to the Czar.  

There are 57 horses and two chariots to choose from for your ride.

The first carousel was introduced to Central Park in 1871 and tickets cost ten cents. That price was soon reduced to five cents since the hourly wage in those early days was just ten cents per hour. A ride now costs $3.50.
