Forest Park Carousel, Historic carousel in Forest Park, Queens, United States
The Forest Park Carousel features 52 hand-carved wooden figures, including 49 horses and 3 menagerie animals arranged on a rotating platform.
Built in 1903 by German immigrant Daniel C. Muller, the carousel initially operated at a Massachusetts resort before moving to Forest Park in 1972.
The hand-carved animals display the Philadelphia style of carousel crafting, with realistic details including glass eyes and natural horse hair tails.
Located at the intersection of Woodhaven Boulevard and Myrtle Avenue, the carousel operates under Forest Park Carousel Amusement Village management.
This carousel represents one of only two remaining examples of Daniel C. Muller's work, recognized on the National Register of Historic Places.
