This classic style merry go round is the perfect resting point for families if you are visiting the Smithsonian museums. You’ll find a good and drink stand as well as this classic merry go round. I think they said it was built in 1940. The blue water horse in my photos is my favorite. Each animal is unique making it even cooler.

A good break for all the walking for the kids. About $3.50 per person, even kids accompanying children. Good harmless fun. Puts big smiles on the kids faces. Everyone loves a merry-go-round. Don't care about the cost it helps keep the upkeep of the carousel and gets people paid.

Beautiful carousel right on the National Mall. We always give our little ones a break here while touring -- a quick ride on the merry-go-round does a lot to relieve the fatigue kids get when touring all the museums! The cost is quite reasonable -- only $3 -- and this is a classic carousel built in the 1940's with a fairly long ride. My kids have always enjoyed the more unusual mounts -- like dragons and the like -- that are available next to the standard...

Ok carousel, old and not maintained well, extreemly rude personnel that had poor hygiene (stained t shirt, ripped pants) and only seemed interested in giving you a runaround about additional tickets needed for adult just as our toddler got excited about his turn. The child ended up in tears for being pushed to the end of the line as we were scrambling for quarters (no credit cards accepted by the way, cash only) Truly sucked all joy out of the ride...

It's a nice historic piece but way too expensive. 3.50 a kid, and if your kid is under 42 inches you have to pay 3.50 to stand next to them for safety. So parents with younger kids get screwed paying $7, as if I wanted to get motion sickness holding my kid. I rarely see any kids on it. I sat and watched families with multiple children walk up, look at the price...
