Jane's Carousel

Activity Overview

Jane's Carousel is a historic wooden carousel located in Brooklyn Bridge Park in Brooklyn, New York. It was built in 1899 as part of the Idora Park amusement park in Youngstown, Ohio, but was eventually purchased in 1984 by a couple who restored the beautiful piece of history and moved it to Brooklyn.

Since 2011, families with children of all ages have been able to take advantage of this magical carousel ride in the heart of Brooklyn Bridge Park. At only $2 per ride, it's a great way to put a smile on everyone's face during your family day out.
