Flushing Meadows Carousel, Historic carousel in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park, Queens, US.

The Flushing Meadows Carousel features four rows containing 64 jumping horses, 7 standing horses, one lion figure, and two decorative chariots.

The carousel merges components from two earlier installations crafted by Marcus Illions: the Feltman's Carousel from 1903 and the Stubbman Carousel from 1908.

The National Register of Historic Places listed this carousel in 2016 for its representation of early twentieth-century American entertainment and craftsmanship.

The carousel operates during warmer months near the Queens Zoo, with multiple transportation options available through the Flushing Meadows-Corona Park system.

William F. Mangels manufactured the frames for both predecessor carousels, incorporating their mechanical elements into the current installation's final design.
