Riding the Century-Old Carousel That Started Everything At Knott's Berry Farm #knott's

Carrusel de California One of the world's oldest working Dentzel carousels, this century-old treasure still swirls to the sound of its antique band organ. Climb aboard one of the menagerie carousel's 48 hand-carved animals, including lions, tigers, ostriches, camels, zebras, giraffes, pigs, cats, and, of course, horses. Throughout the ages, this popular amusement park ride has gone by many names – carousel, roundabout, and merry-go-round. But one element never changes – the world’s love for a simple ride that goes around and around to a soundtrack of cheery music. The setting is a treat in itself: when you step onto the carousel’s platform, you’re engulfed in amazing artistry with hand-painted murals overhead and intricately crafted characters just waiting to be chosen for a ride. After taking special care to choose the host ride that’s perfect for them, guests young and young at heart will experience pure joy and delight as they spin on this timeless ride. What’s more, it’s a great place to grab a bit of shade on a sunny day.
