About
Jane's Carousel is a completely restored historic carousel made by the Philadelphia Toboggan Company (PTC #61) in 1922. It is a classic 3-row machine with 48 exquisitely carved horses, and 2 superb chariots. The wood carvings, often attributed to John Zalar and Frank Carretta, are among the finest of their kind. In addition, the scenery panels, rounding boards, crests, center pole and platform are all original to the carousel. It was the first carousel to be placed on the national register of historic places. Jane's Carousel is now open in Brooklyn Bridge Park, in the Dumbo section of Brooklyn, where it is magically set on the East River, between the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges. The carousel is housed in a spectacular pavilion designed by Pritzker Prize winning French architect Jean Nouvel. Jane's Carousel will delight children, as well as visitors from around the world, for many generations to come.
