Carousel Gardens Amusement Park, Family amusement park in City Park, New Orleans, United States.

Carousel Gardens is an amusement park featuring rides like a ferris wheel, bumper cars, and a miniature train that loops through the grounds. The facility occupies substantial acreage within City Park and offers attractions suitable for children and families of varying ages.

The carousel, known as the "Flying Horses", has run since 1906 and was moved to its present spot in 1928, still driven by its original motor. Its 56 figures were carved and hand-painted by Charles Looff and Charles Carmel, and a Wurlitzer #150 Band Organ supplies the music. It is one of about 100 hand-carved carousels left in the United States and the only one remaining in Louisiana.

The carousel's horses were carved by Charles Looff and Charles Carmel; Looff's figures carry faux gemstones, some animals have moving heads, and the horses' tails use real horse hair. The carousel has appeared in films such as Now You See Me and 22 Jump Street, and in the series NCIS: New Orleans and American Horror Story.

Weekdays typically offer shorter wait times compared to weekends, making them better for families seeking a more relaxed visit. The park is open from spring through fall, and its relatively flat terrain allows visitors of most mobility levels to navigate the grounds.
