"Season opening date: Open year-round, weather permitting (Call before you go, 212-439-6900 ext. 12) Hours: Daily 10am–6pm (weather permitting) Price: $3.25/ride, cash only Website: centralpark.com What's not to love about NYC's communal backyard? The gorgeous, iconic Central Park is home to many kid-approved pasttimes: ice skating, zoo visits, picnics and, of course, spins on its beloved carousel. Considering over 250,000 people per year hop on for a ride, you know it's worth a trip. The carousel first made an appearance in the park in 1871, and since then four attractions have called the green space home. Although it debuted with some doubts, the carousel quickly proved to be one of the most endearing parts of family's visits to the park. "

"The Central Park Carousel has enjoyed a long tradition in the park, with the first carousel open for business in 1871. Over the years, four different carousels have operated in this location. It's one of the most popular things to do as a family in Central Park. In fact, hundreds of park goers ride the carousel each day with a yearly total of close to 250,000 riders. The current carousel was added in the early 1950s and restored in the 1990s and features 57 hand-carved horses. It is considered one of the largest of its kind in North America. It's open seven days a week. --- The beautiful Carousel is one of the most beloved attractions in the park. It is the 4th carousel to stand in the park. The first one, opened in 1873, was powered by a horse or mule under the platform. It was trained to stop walking in a circle when the operator tapped his foot on the platform. This original carousel was replaced in 1924 and promptly burned down. The next one also burned down in 1950. The current carousel was discovered abandoned in a trolley terminal in Coney Island. It was constructed in 1908 and is considered one of the finest examples of American folk art in the country. It has 57 horses and plays beautiful calliope music. The carousel runs 7 days a week in the summer. For carousel lovers, you should visit Jane's Carousel in DUMBO. It is one of a kind with the best views of the New York Skyline just behind it."
