The Great Park Carousel has reopened after undergoing renovations.
Improvements to this family-favorite attraction includes the repainting of 12 animals; replacement of the decking, mirrors, and artwork; re-polished brass; and new coats of polyurethane to keep the carousel in optimal shape for years to come.
The renovation project began in 2020, with work performed mostly during pandemic-related closure. Work will continue on the remaining carousel animals, during times that will avoid additional closures to the public.
The carousel is open Thursday & Friday from 10am until 10pm and Saturday & Sunday from 9am until 10pm.
Single rides are $3, with all-day passes available for $10.
