Obscura Society NY: Historical Carousel Crawl

New York City boasts 13 different carousels throughout its parks and public spaces, with six of them being antique, wooden carousels—some 100 years old. This excursion invites you to take a trip back in time as we discover history through the lens of this whimsical amusement and ride two rare, antique, wooden carousels in Brooklyn.

Designed especially for adults with a spirit of magical adventure, this tour will cover the ancient history of the carousel, its rise and fall in Europe and America and the American immigrant carvers who helped create a multi-million dollar entertainment industry during the “Golden Age of Carousels.” Join us to enjoy the magic and history of these delightful amusements.

Tickets $25.
