The weather’s been so warm it might be hard to believe, but we’re rushing headlong into winter, which means it’s time to gear up for indoor activities — and to savor those outdoor ones while we’ve got a chance!

This Wednesday, November 11 is Veterans Day, and it’s also your [last chance to take a ride](https://www.facebook.com/ProspectParkBrooklyn/photos/a.10150175295370385.403398.10150099384115385/10156239063030385/?type=3&theater) on the historic [Prospect Park carousel](https://www.prospectpark.org/visit-the-park/places-to-go/carousel/?ref=bklyner.com) before it shuts down for the winter, only to reopen in April.

The ride is made up of 53 horses, a lion, a giraffe, a deer, and two dragon-pulled chariots that were carved in 1912 by Charles Carmel and restored by the Prospect Park Alliance in 1990 — and again, more recently, by [the carousel doctor himself](http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/03/23/before-a-carousels-100th-birthday-a-visit-from-the-doctor/?ref=bklyner.com), ahead of its 100th anniversary.

The carousel costs $2 per ride, or $9 for a book of five tickets; a Family Plus membership allows for free, unlimited rides.
