Welcome to the National Carousel Association!


	Since 1973 the National Carousel Association has been working to keep America's remaining carousels in operation. Through a wide range of programs and projects, the NCA has participated in the restoration and preservation of many of the antique carousels in operation in our country today. Want to help ensure that these carousels will be around for your children and grandchildren? Join the National Carousel Association today!

Here is another carousel that's available for riding all year long!

This carousel has the distinction of being the inspiration for Disneyland! The idea came to Walt Disney while sitting on a bench at this carousel and drawing pictures of his daughters as they rode.

Many of the figures on this mixed-figure carousel are in old paint. Better stop by and take a look (and a ride) today!
