The Prospect Park Carousel Reopens This Thursday


With a high of 45°F and sunny skies predicted, this Thursday, March 27 is looking like the perfect day to bring your family to the seasonal opening of the Prospect Park Carousel! The kids’ favorite will be back up and running starting at noon.

Hours this season will be 12-5pm Thursday through Sunday until June 29, as well as during Spring Break (April 14-22). Rides are $2, or $9 for a book of five tickets–or free for a year when you join the Prospect Park Alliance at the Supporter + Family Plus level ($125).

The carousel is located inside the Prospect Park Children’s Corner, easily reachable via the park’s Willink Entrance at the junction of Flatbush and Ocean Avenues and Empire Boulevard (take the B/Q to the Prospect Park stop). Learn more here, and enjoy the ride!
