Jane’s Carousel

The first carousel to be placed on the National Register of Historic Places, this completely restored marry-go-round was made by the Philadelphia Toboggan Company in 1922. It is a classic three-row machine with 48 exquisitely carved horses, two superb chariots, and the scenery panels, rounding boards, crests, center pole and platform are all original. Now open in the newly restored section of Brooklyn Bridge Park between Main Street and the Brooklyn Bridge, the carousel is housed in a spectacular pavilion designed by Pritzker Prize winning French architect Jean Nouvel and magically set on the East River. It will delight NYC children, as well as visitors from around the world, for many generations to come. $2 admission.
