Old school carousel, beautiful city views, and a reasonable price! That's already worth a visit! If you're visiting the Brooklyn Bridge, DUMBO, or anywhere nearby, it's worth stopping here. My daughter loves carousels (and so do I). read more

Jane's Carousel - Carousel! - Carousels Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Jane's Carousel is pure magic in DUMBO! My wife and I hopped on and instantly went back 40 years--laughing, spinning, grinning. Kids love it, adults rediscover their inner child. The waterfront views, and views of both Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges just make it sweeter. A timeless ride that's joy wrapped in nostalgia! Then it's a short hop to the Time Out Market for food and drinks or watch the sunset behind the Brooklyn bridge. A beautiful day out! read more

charming and historic carousel in brooklyn bridge park! the tickets are cheap and it was a lot of fun (for an adult's inner child, too). You can see the water and manhattan skyline as you go, and it usually isn't too crowded during the week or in the winter (it still runs -- it just has the clear doors drawn). highly recommend stopping by this spot read more

Jane's Carousel - View from the carousel - Carousels Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This is such a beautiful carousel by the waterfront. You can see the "box" when walking towards Brooklyn on the Brooklyn Bridge. The carousel is encased in a glass pavilion cube, so it will not be affected by the elements and people can see it. It was built in 1922 and in 1984, it was restored to its original colors and wood carvings of the 48 horses. It brings such nostalgia. The ticket is $2. I didn't get on it but I watched and the music played was from Mary Poppins. Really a piece of art and old world charm to bring back childhood memories of getting on a carousel. read more

I went on Jane Carousel day which was a free for all day and only lands one day of the year. The line was pretty quick at most 15-20 min wait and the ride was 3 minutes long. The only think I didn't like was that some of the middle horses didn't go up and down so I really had to figure out which middle horse does that for my toddler to enjoy it as she didn't like the ones that didn't move. Lucky we were able to do this multiplied times so she was able to enjoy it. Very nice view outside and there is also a food court nearby. read more

Loved it. Not as expensive as I thought it would be (albeit for a quick ride). Helpful staff. Not much can go wrong on a ferry, and nothing did go wrong. It's in a beautiful location where lots of couples were taking their wedding photos. Go. It's iconic. read more

New York has plenty of carousels, and I think I've seen them all. My toddler has a fascination with them, so I did some research and make sure to include one of them in most weekend outings. But this one beats them all. For merely $2 per ride (which includes one parent, if he/she's standing) you get to ride in a beautifully maintained "giostra" surrounded by the gorgeous setting of both the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges. The close vicinity of the newish Time Out Market makes this visit even better, because now you have food (and drinks) available only a few steps away. If this weren't enough, you have the attractions of the Brooklyn Bridge Park available... I mean, what else can you possibly need? Go and let your kid have a blast. read more

This was the most fun i had in such a long time! I've been dying to come to the carousel, so it was nice to see that it was right outside of the time out market. It was freezing this day, so there was no line, and it was pretty much empty. The tickets were $2 for admission to ride, and you got your pick of whichever horse. The views was breathtaking! Omg! The carousel takes you around a couple of times at a nice pace. Mask Are required to ride. It took about 3-5 mins all together. I felt like a kid again lol. So much fun. You're never too old to ride a carousel. Highly recommend if you haven't been. I can only imagine how packed it gets during warmer months. See pics below read more

We took our grandson here to ride this landmark carousel housed inside a tall, square, bright glass enclosure with the magnificent Manhattan skyline and a gorgeous setting sun serving as back drop. What a picturesque setting! Since a child under 42" + 1 adult chaperone share one ticket at $2, it's a real bargain. The beautifully restored, well-maintained wood carved horses and carriages (built in 1922 per date etched on pavement nearby) looked marvelous. Bright, happy smiles on the faces of children, and grownups alike illuminated this special space. read more

Faced discrimination here today. It was very upsetting. I brought my one year old to Jane's Carousel today, and have never had an issue leaving my stroller inside, but today the clerk decided to tell me that I had to leave my stroller outside. There is plenty of space inside, and I have parked my stroller inside many times before, so I was unsure of why this was an issue. I asked the clerk (young thin girl with glasses) if I could just leave it in because my large diaper bag is very expensive and I have all my personal belongings in there. She told me I would have to bring it with me on the carousel. Imagine a mother with a one year old who doesn't walk yet, carrying a large diaper bag, a large coat, my child's coat, and my child, and having to wait in line to get on a 2 minute ride. While waiting, I look over, and I see a father with a stroller parked inside (no child in the stroller), watching his child from the side. Unbelievable. As I was let in, I asked the clerk (who was of course, white) why this affluent looking white couple was able to keep their stroller inside, and she shrugged her shoulders and said it wasn't her responsibility to look after the other side. You would think that they would enforce the rules to every guest, but I guess some guests have more pull than others, and I'm guessing it's because these guests were blond haired and blue eyed. It was a very clear picture of white privilege, and it was absolutely shameful. I left and of course my baby's coat had fallen while I was on the carousel trying to juggle 5 different things. It really bums me out because my daughter loves this carousel, but I suppose it's going to be something that I'll have to teach her--that her existence in this world matters less due to her Asian skin color and features. read more

5 stars , sure, cant be beat! ok, can be, watch hill's carousel to ME is more iconic, but maybe you arent going to visit watch hill and this is what you get, you get what you get.... still, 2 bucks a ride, clean, fun, wholesome! cant beat that with a stick! also, right over the brooklyn bridge a great place to walk off (ride off) that piece of pizza you needed to have after the walk! i cant find anything else to add that you might need to know, but take a ride, thank me later. giddy up! read more

A fun pit stop while sight seeing, shopping, and eating around Dumbo. It's even better with little kids. Jane's Carousel is a great set piece in the overall scheme of the Dumbo neighborhood and the river front. Highly recommended to come around for pictures even if you're not riding the carousel. read more

I stumbled upon this old restored carousel not too long ago when I down by Brooklyn Bridge Park. It's encased in a glass housing which helps protect it in bad weather and the sea air. Obviously, it's good for kids and adults who want to relive their childhoods. Since I don't own any spawn or ankle biters I was content just to observe. Nice view of the waterfront and good for posting pics on social media. Only $2 a ride so it's a bargain. Unless you are scared of carousels and have a habit of falling off them. Or if you're a typical hipster who thinks everything in Brooklyn is the coolest thing everrrrrrr! read more

David and Jane Walentas were two of the nastiest human beings that I have ever met. They had more unscrupulous business deals than I would like to mention. My review however is about the carousel, not David and Jane. Jane's Carousel is a hidden gem that is nestled in between the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridge's on the Brooklyn waterfront. The carousel was built in the 1940's and was painstakingly restored by a team of artisans fifteen years ago. To get there take the A train to the High Street station, or use a Citibike. The fee is only two dollars, and it is a very nice ride. The view's of the East River and Manhattan are spectacular as well. read more

When it only costs "two bucks to pony up," then you know you've got the best deal in town. Jane's Carousel was perfect. It was easily accessible, offers scenic views, the line moves quickly so short wait times, and there is stroller/scooter parking. As a child, I enjoyed my trips to Coney Island so it feels great to share a childhood memory with the next generation. My son was captivated by the beauty of the horses and loved the ride. No fear, no tears! He already put me on notice that he wants to come back for another lap. I appreciate the staff's efforts to sanitize after every ride to keep riders safe amid the COVID-19 pandemic. It is certainly great to see Brooklyn slowly come back to life. read more

It's time to be a kid again! I love that this carousel is filled with both children and adults. It's a fun little activity and tickets are only $2. The views of the Brooklyn bridge are beautiful. This is a great spot for tourists exploring the area. There are lots of photographic moments with in the park and it's walking distance from a variety of great food as well. We went in some great weather but they do have a glass enclosure if the weather is not ideal which is nice! read more

My favourite carousel ever. Tickets are $2 each and the rides provide stunning views of the city. The lines move relatively quickly as well. My son was a little bit on the younger side and they let me get on with one ticket unlike the seaglass carousel. All the horses on the outside are stationary FYI. Cards accepted to buy tickets. Will definitely be coming back here again! read more

WHO: solo tour WHAT: Imagine chilling on a vertical moving horse safely inside a glass casing, protected from the elements, to your left, mirrored panels...to the right of you at various vistas, the Manhattan Bridge, at others the Brooklyn Bridge...super cool.

I love this carousel on Brooklyn's waterfront. What a gorgeous location. This was our first time going and we will definitely be back again and again. Our son has a fun time, although he was a bit scared at first. We decided to buy some more tickets in advance so we don't need to wait in the line. Once you have your tickets, you can line up on the east side of the building. If you want a horse that moves up and down, look up while boarding for a black piece on the top of the pole. Those horses move up and down (normally the inner two rows). This is a definite must see if you're in Dumbo, even if you don't ride. read more

Jane's Carousel - Carousels Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

A old wooden carousel in the park in Brooklyn, enclosed in a nice glass pavilion that can open up in good weather. There are ones that move up and down, and if you're over 225 or just don't need that motion, you can sit on one of the stable outside horses or carriage seats that don't move. There has been better music from a carousel (especially if riding a bunch of times). $2 a ride, and enclosed during the winter. You can buy packages here with the adults + kids getting tags to ride as much as they want for a certain amount of time for birthdays, etc.. They have tables w/ umbrellas to shade (though not big enough) and a bathroom somewhat nearby. You stare out across the East River to the city and watch the boats pass by - they have a few benches, and though they technically don't allow food (the carousel is over 100yrs old according to a sign), they do have tables they can set up outside. They also don't want commercial photography (they shooed away a couple people trying to do a fashion shoot by the carousel). Fun, though hot. If you're here for a birthday mid-summer, make sure you bring plenty of water and maybe a shade umbrella. Not as well-covered as the Bronx Zoo bug carousel, but little one still enjoyed it. I will have to come here closer to the evening to see if the view is better at night! read more

There's just something so enchanting about a carousel. I remember when I was younger, that I would try to spot out the mighty steed I wanted and would run to it as soon as I was next in line. Jane's Carousel knows no age. It completely being encased in a glass box reminds me of a music box of sorts. The horses are perfectly painted, and they are each uniquely different from each other. Children of all ages can ride like the wind on this classic amusement park ride! Want to be totally romantic? Take a trip down here at dusk and see the Brooklyn Bridge lit up against the awesome skyline! You're welcome! read more

I remember visiting Jane's Carousel when it was being restored and housed in a studio in Dumbo. It was breathtaking then and one of the most beautful carousels I've seen. Seeing that it's up and running now I would highly reccomend visiting it, having the opportunity to ride on this gorgeous instrument is such a treat. My fascination for carousels has not ceased allthough I don't seek them out the way I use to, this in my opinion is not worth missing. I'm sure it will top your list of most gorgeous in the states, made by PTC No. 61 in 1922. read more

Childhood relived. This is an awesome place that everyone (whether your a kid or not) visit! At $2 a ride, the joy and happiness of being on a Carousel and being able to be a kid again, is priceless. The location is also quite amazing!

Jane's Carousel - Carousels Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Jane's Carousel is a great find. Located in Brooklyn Bridge Park, it was built in 1922 and has been completely restored and enclosed in a "jewel-box" glass structure designed by Jean Nouvel (source: nyc.go). It reminds me of the former Playland carousel; tragically that one succumbed to fire last year and is currently closed. The location of Jane's carousel is simply scenic - set against the backdrop of the Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan skyline. Great place to take photos or simply hangout and relax. The location makes it easy to step away from the crowds for a moment and then head back over the DUMBO with all of the great shops and restaurants there. Plenty of fun activities for both kids and adults. And the views are incredible! read more

Jane's Carousel - Beautiful at night when lit - Carousels Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I'm a sucker for a carousel, so when I saw this one, I looked at my husband with pleading eyes and he lovingly decided to accompany me on this lovely carousel. We were in Brooklyn visiting a friend, and he decided to be all kinds of jaded New Yorker and not ride the carousel with us. Whaaattever! For $2 I was able to enjoy some child-like time with my husband; we were the only adults riding the carousel, but I didn't even care. This is a lovely attraction in near the Brooklyn Bridge and children of all ages can (and should) enjoy this carousel! read more

What's not to absolutely love about a stunning restored vintage carousel from 1922 encased in a glass house, situated on the water between the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges? I don't care what age you are, this piece is fascinating. Enjoy views of the Manhattan skyline right in front of you while you ride up and down, round and round on a magical horse for just a few bucks, all year 'round, in any and all weather! This space makes a beautiful backdrop for photo shoots of all kinds! Inquire on their site about professional photo permits which are given any day the carousel is not open to the public. They also host children's parties for 10-20 kiddos, both wedding ceremonies and/or reception and other private events! Jane's Carousel is actually a gift to Brooklyn Bridge Park from my hometown Philly! Grab some Juliana's and picnic, catch a sunset, and ride on Jane's. Perfect night (with kiddos or not) if you ask me! *Hours are a bit funny and change seasonally so double check before your visit! **I always find parking on Water St! read more

Hello my fellow Yelpers and visitors of New York! I never thought I would give importance to writing a review about a carousel, but when I think about the fond memories I had as a little girl and riding the carousel, my heart just resonates with this classic ride that even adults can't always refuse. :] The area where Jane's Carousel sits is a really nice place to sightsee. You'll be surrounded by water, skyline views, and be right in-between the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges. It has also been up-kept very nicely. It is only $2/person to ride and you can choose to sit on a moving "horsey" or one that is more behaved and just stands there for you! There are also a few benches you can sit on just like most carousels. Perfect for those who want the merry-go-round fun without a horse friend. LOL The ride lasted longer than I thought it would, and it was a cute little experience for those who are not afraid to be a kid now and again. Being in such a crazy busy city, this place is a nice little nook for those traveling with young children because of the surrounding area. There are quite a number of eateries nearby as well as mini shoppes along the way. All in all, it's another great place to sightsee for traveling families. read more

So enjoyable! Friendly staff and people of all ages. This is easily accessible from DUMBO. In the wintertime the glass enclosure keeps it warm in the inside while in the summer time it is opened to be one with the elements! This would be a nice place for families to stop by while they are on their ways or a fun before or after date activity given the proximity to restaurants. read more

Jane's Carousel - They draw a heart on the back to mark it as used. - Carousels Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

You are a heathen if you think Jane's carousel deserves anything less than 5 stars. The carousel is extremely well maintained, a bargain at $2 when a coffee costs $4 at Starbucks and the least expensive studio apartment in the vicinity is $999K. Did I mention that you can buy a twelve pack for $20 too? Oh, and if you are coming with your kid you get on free. Seriously one of the last bargains in Brooklyn. The staff? They're basically awesome. Always so kind and patient while explaining that the outside horses don't go up and down or taking your ticket and drawing a heart on them to validate. You can also do private parties here which give you unlimited rides and the ability to set up a food and drink area with tables. Perfect for young ones birthdays. Let us not forget the ridiculous views of the gorgeous Brooklyn bridge and the park it sits on. She was wonderful when she was a few blocks away but truly magical in her new home on the East river. Disclaimer: I'm admittedly biased because I married my beautiful wife a few yards from here before the carousel was rebuilt. read more
