Today, I took the family to the Leroy King Carousel, part of the Children’s Creativity Museum which is such an amazing activity for children and families in San Francisco. The carousel is across the city Target and near the Moscone Center. The carousel is open Friday, Saturday, and Sunday only. For families who are members of the Children’s Creativity Museum, they receive a discount on carousel tickets. Tickets are normally $5.00 per ride, but, if you visit the museum or are a member, tickets are $3.00. Each ticket is good for one (1) ride on the carousel. The rides last for about 3 minutes. No matter if you love the carnival or are just a kid at heart, this is a great family friendly activity!

No start rating, as we didn't actually ride. My kid is terrified of them right now, so we just watched from afar. Lucked out that it was open, as the museum is closed Mon/Tues. $4 a pop is pretty steep, considering it's a 2-minute ride, so you have to judge your kid's possible enjoyment level. ;) The ride operator was very friendly and understanding of the toddler's hesitance, returned our money as soon as the tears started (before the ride started).

This is now called the LeRoy King Carousel. We went to the grand reopening ceremony and that LeRoy is quite a guy!

How cool it is to have an original 1906 Looff carousel right in the heart of San Francisco. Not just any Looff carousel but the original carousel that spun at Playland At The Beach for 58 years.

It was recently completely restored and is absolutely beautiful down to every detail, from the shiny lacquered hardwood floors to the polished gears and rods that run so smoothly once again. The only thing missing is the old band organ.

You might walk right by it, but don't mix this historical machine up with a cheap Pier 39 merry go round because this is the genuine thing. And it's worth a ride by both the little kids and...

Ruby is truly magical! Every time we visit the carousel, she turns it into a little fairytale world for the kids. My toddler absolutely adores her. She always wears such creative, whimsical outfits – like she’s stepped straight out of a storybook – and she clicks her tongue to imitate horse sounds so realistically that it makes the ride feel even more alive and exciting.

It’s rare to see someone put so much genuine heart into their job. Ruby doesn’t just operate the carousel – she brings joy, imagination, and sparkle to every child who rides. Thank you, Ruby, for making our visits unforgettable and for making my little one feel like they’re on a real horse in a fairytale kingdom each time. You are a...
