Fodor's Review:

Remarkable for the size of its hand-carved steeds—all 57 are three-quarters the size of real horses—this carousel was built in 1908 and moved here from Coney Island in 1951. Today it's considered one of the finest examples of turn-of-the-20th-century folk art. The carousel's original Wurlitzer organ plays a variety of tunes, from old-time waltzes to polkas.

Cost: $1.25
Open: Apr.-Nov., daily 10-dusk; Dec.-Mar., weekends 10-dusk, weather permitting
Subway: Subway: 1, 9 to 66th Street/Lincoln Center
