A dazzling experience
Be whisked away on a magical Carousel ride with Indiana roots back more than 100 years. For years after it opened in 1917 at White City Amusement Park—later renamed Broad Ripple Park—only White families were welcome to ride the Carousel. Now that it is at The Children's Museum, all families are welcome to ride!
The intricately painted Carousel animals were salvaged from the original ride. A museum favorite, you won’t want to miss this! Carousel rides are free for members and children under age 2; nonmember cost is $1 per ride.
Located on Level 4.
