Flying Horses Carousel, Historical carousel in Oak Bluffs, Massachusetts, United States.
The Flying Horses Carousel rotates with hand-carved wooden horses featuring real horsehair manes, tails, and glass-embedded eyes on a stationary platform.
Built in 1876 by Charles Dare of New York Carousel Manufacturing, this carousel operated at Coney Island before moving to Oak Bluffs in 1884.
Each rotation maintains the traditional brass ring game, where riders extend their arms to catch rings for a chance at a free ride.
The carousel operates at 15 Oak Bluffs Avenue with street parking available, offering special event rentals including children's parties with unlimited rides.
This platform carousel remains one of only two existing Dare carousels in the United States and maintains its original wooden horses from 1876.
